1000 miles, and the Machias should reach
her destination in about a week The
state department declined to divUlge the
| character OF the Information which it has
received from Bangkok, which cause the
sudden dispatch of a warship TO the
scene, but there is no doubt the attack
on United States Consul General Edward
b Kellert by SiameSe soldiers is at the
bottom of it. Press dispatches three weeks
ago announced that MIR. kellert, who is
an unpaid official appointed by Minister
and Consul General Barrett two years
ago, had been fired upon and wounded
by Siamese soldiers. 1t was impossible
TO confirm this news at the state depart
ment at the time. but II was explained
there that Mr.. Kellert had Il right to en-
sage in trade and possibly some personal
affair of mis- own had led to his arrest
by local authorities. Today it is learned
that for some time litigation has been in
progress over the estate Of an American
named Cheek, who held a valuable teak
concession from the Siamese government.
This had been highly remuneratiVe dur
ing Checks life time. but when. after
his death, it became desirable to wind UP
his estate, the Siamese government
stepped in and took measures to prevent
the sale of number of elephants he had
raised and employed in getting out the
timber 1t is also said that Kellert was
the executor for the estate or the agent
of the heirs, and his activity on their
behalf had probably led 10 friction with
the SiameSe authorities. who OVerstepped
the usual legal methods in trying TO get
rid of him. No American WarSniD has
been 10 Bangkok for about seven years.
and while Minister Barrett has been we'll

as much respect for the American flag
as for that of either Great Britain or
