STARTLING STATEMENTS.
In Reference to the British Policy In

London, February b.--Some important
statements were made today In the house
of commons on the vote of G7aS, sO2 for the
expenses of tho recent Anglo Egyptian OK
petition up the Milo TO Dongola. Sir Mi
chaol Hicks Beach. the chancellor of the
eAcheducr. referred 10 the decision OF The
Egyptian mixed court OF appeals in rofus-
ing to allow the funds of the caissc OF the
Eevptlan debt TO be used TO defray the ex-
nenses OF the expedition, thus compelling
Great Britain to advance the money re-
ouired. The chancellor Of the excheouer
declared that the court of appeals had
thus created an almost absurd position, -
adding. and next year grave question
Will arise regarding the courts powers and
authority and whether 1t should be allowed
TO thus interfere in such affairs.
The cause OF the British occupancy Is
that France especially never allowed Great
Britain free hand III Egypt. lnvoluntar-

now thrown upon Great Britain the whole
responsibility OF the safety OF Egypt aud

Reports We're Exaggerated.

Washington, February 5,Full details re.
ceived at tho state department of tho al
legged attack on United States Vice Consul
General Gillette in Siam make 1t clear that
the affair has been grossly exaggerated IN
the first accounts. A consular servant was
arrested for violation OF municipal rogu-
iations at Chiongnai, and Mir. Golettoe,
going TO the station house. undertook to
carry the man off With him without any
iorma!ities. In an ensuing scufile with the
Siamese soldiers. who act as police the vice
consul general received a blow not nj all
serious in character. 1t is realized that the
official made a mistake In not appealing
TO the local commission in behalf of his
servant. 1t is believed the matter Will 10
satisfactorily adjusted By the admniatra-
ton reprinanding the police officials Ger
ta!nly no serious trouble is expected.
