The case of the Postoffice en-

Uncle Sam to be at the Postoffice to

Although tho President now has
the authority to proceed with nego-

is hardly possible that such will be

tion has yet reached the state depart
ment from the British government
about seven islands off the coast of
Borneo now in the possession of the
United States which some members Of
the house of commons seem TO think
belong to Great Britain.
The state department is prepared to
give a prompt and conclusive answer
when Lord LansdowneS inquiry
reaches here. Before leaving Washing
ton yesterday, Secretary Hay looked
personally into the matter and salts
fed himself that theBritish government
had not the shadow of a claim on the
islands in question. 1t is explained
that the islands have strategicai i'm
portance and for this reason the United
States under no circumstances would
part with them.
