THE MACHIAS AT BANGKOK.
Causes Material Change in the Atti-
tude of the Siamese.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The gum
boat Machias has arrived at Bangkok
under orders to protect American inter
ests, having been hurried there from
Hongkong, 1000 miles away, on receipt
of official news at the State Department
last week of an attack by Siamese SOL
diers on United States Deputy Consul
General Kellet. Commander McKen-
zie will confer with Minister Barrett,
and if the circumstances warrant a sa-
lutte to the American flag will be de-
manded.
The announcement that the Machias
had been ordered to Bangkok has already
had the effect of materially altering the
attitude of the Siamese Government to
the United States She is the first Amer
lean war vessel to visit Bangkok for
seven years, and the effect of her mis-
sion as soon as it's character became
known is reported to have been exactly
as Secretary Olney desired. This in
formation is corroborated by the i'm
mediate effort Of Siam to secure the ar
bitration of the Cheek claim, which that
Government has hitherto resisted all
efforts to collect Isaac Townsend Smith,
the Siamese Consul General in this
country is now in Washington negotiat-
ing for arbitration.
An American named Cheek entered
into partnership with the Siamese
Government to get out wood, the Gov
eminent advancing money. On the pre-
tense that he did not meet his obliga-
ton, they seized the wood as it came
down the rivers and sold it. Suisse
quently, on Cheeks death, they pre-
vented his executors from selling some
Of the numerous elephants he had used
in the forests, and when the State De-
partment took the matter up in 1892
Siam resisted the claim of 5000, 900
which was presented. The recent trou-
BILE, of which the attack on Consul Gen
eral Kellett was the climax, grew out
of the claim, which Secretary Olney has
now determined to press to settlement
