LONDON. June ga dispatch to the
Times from Bangkok. the capital of Siam,
says: The French gunboat Latin is an
chored in the river opposite the center of
Bangkok and has made preparations to
fire upon the city. The topmas,s Of the
gunboat have been struck and guns
mounted in the fighting tops. The French
admiral in his flagship is expected to ar.
rive in Sismese waters from Saigon. The
dispatch adds that though most anxious
TO maintain friendship with the French,
the public were determined TO resist az.
erosion and were preparing for any con-
tingency.
The defenses Of the country prove
stronger than was expected and three
ships have been sunk at the entrance to
the Menam river, on which Bangkok is
situated, about twenty miles from the
mouth. This reduces the channel to the
narrowest limits possible for use and the
government is ready at \ moments notice

YALE FRESHMEN WIN.
The 90 Crew Defeats Harvard
and Columbia.
A GOOD RACE AND FAST TIME.

NEW LoSpoy. June N-Eor the third
consecutive time the Yale freshmen today
won the annual triangular boat race on
the Thames by defeating Harvard By eight
and Columbia by thirteen lengths in the
time Of l0:2a The only aspect in which
the result Of this years race differs from
its two immediate predecessors is that
Columbia finished q poor third today,
while she has been able to defeat Harvard
heretofore. The Yale men recklessly Of
fered odds Of 3 to l on their 90 crew. but
the money went crying. However, all
that was put up was on the relative posi-
ton of Harvard and Columbia at the finish.
The partisans Of the three contest
ing colleges exhibited al the patriotic en-
thusiasm of the university. Yale's luck
gave its boat the best course, the central
one. Harvard chose the west and Column
bia Was lef, to take the outside.
At 5:4s the referee gave the sig
nal. Columbia's start was suspicious.
Yale got away slowly but in fine shape
and Harvard spsashed and floundered aim
lessly. One hundred yards from the start
Columbia and Yale tied and Harvard was
few feet behind. As the half-mile flag
was passed Yale was three lengths in the
lead, Columbus still keeping scanty lead
over Harvard. Yale was five lengths
ahead at the mile post, and Harvard
worked out lead Of length. At the
mile and q half Harvard had a two
lengths lead over the Columbia crew,
while Yale was six lengths in the lead.
Half mile from the finish the race was
decided and Yale and Harvard rowed
with the assurance of victors. In the
Columbian boat they pulled like galley
slaves. but their efforts were fruitiess, and
finally ended by S.urgis. No. Z. CATCH
ing a crab. losing his balance as
well as his oar and falling back into the
lap of No. Il Luckily only momentary
confusion resulted. The three crews
crossed the finish with Yale thirteen
lengths ahead of Columbia. the rear boat,
and Harvard five lengths before Columbia
and eight behind Yale.
