the race was going to be drifting affair or
not. The breeze was very light, and the clouds

THE WAR IN SIAM.
An United states war Ship Nav
he sent There.

LONDON. July IA dispatch from
Bangkok, capital of Siam, states that 20
Siamcs were killed and IA wounded
during the exchange of fires between
the forts and the French gunboats, which
forced a passage of the bar in the face of
contrary orders from the Siamcs gov
ernmcnt.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-The only Off
cial news of the trouble between the
French and the Siames received at the
State department was contained in
cable from Acting Consul General Boyd,
at Bangkok. stating that after an hours
engagement the French vessels had
passed the forts below Bangkok, 1t is
not the present intention of the depart
ment to specially dispatch an American
war vessel to the scenes of the war
in view of the fact that American inter
ests in Siam are insignificant, being con-
fined to a small trade in teak wood
Nevertheless it is apprehended that if the
war assumes formidable proportions the
Siames may make it very unpleasant
for foreign residents including the few
Americans there, as hostilitics are apt to
be characterized on the one side by the
summary the proceedings known to Siam.
If this state of affairs obtains, however,
the United States will not be without a
vessel in Slams waters as the United
States steamer Concord now on her way
to Lima will be in that neighbor hood in
the course of two months.

fact that two other institutes are to be

this is a large number. The work of the
program was continued by lecture on

1t has been rumored that the First
