FRANCE IS ANGRY.
Fretting Under Foreign
Comment.
HE DID NOT BACK DOWN.
And England Is Very Apt TO Be
Made Aware of That Fact
Presently.

PARIS. Sept. 9.-The story OF fresh COM
Dlications between France and Siam,
caEled exclusively to the Associated Press
yesterday, is fully confirmed to-day by the
uttarances OF the French press. There is
no doubt France is fretting under the
sneering comments of foreign newspapers
upon her alleged backdown before Eng
land's firm attitude. and there is still less
doubt that the French Government is de-
termined the foreign press shall not easily
have another such chance to hold up the
republic to rldicule.
Much irritation is felt against England
from the fact that it is admitted that she
is supporting, If not advising. Siam in the
dilatory attitude the latter country has
assumed in the treatment of the cOnces-
sions made to France. As consequence
the French newspapers are spurring the
Government to make determined effort
to teach England not to interfere with the
colonial policies of France. Not only has
Earl Dufferin postponed his prorosed
vacation to Switzerland, but, it is added.
dispatches of the most important nature
were exchanged yesterday between the
British Foreign Office and the British Em-
hassy at Paris.
As having a bearing on the Franco
Siamese complications, the Figaro makes
d most important announcement TO the
effect that Germany. having been informed
that the visit of the Russian fleet TO Tonlon
will result in the establishment of coal
ing station for Russian war vessels on the
French coast, has obtained. as counter
balance, the cession from Italy of small
island in the Mediterranean, which is to be
fortified, coaled. supplied and used as II
rendezvous, similar to the use by Great
Britain of the Island of Malta, and that
when this is accomplished Germany viii
maintain a permanent squadron in the
Mediterranean. This action, it is said.
was taken after both Italy and Germany
had consulted with England.
The exact position of the island is not
divulged. but it is said to be admira bly,
suited for the purpose, within easy steam
ing distance of the Dardanelles and near
the SueZ canal.
