 The islands concerned, says the paper, are group of seven which originally be- longed to the Sultan of Sulu from whom they passed by a charter in 1881 to the control of the British north Borneo com pany, whose officers confirm they are un- doubtedly British territory
 The American side of the question as given at the United States esrnbassy. says the Daily Chronicle, is that the is- lands are undoubtedly American by right of conquest. having belonged to the Phil fppines, and the Sultan of Sulu having. confirmed and acknowledged American supremacy over them.
 The islands had never been occupied by any European nation and it is unknown whether Spain ever recognized the trad ing treaty which existed between the Borneo companies and the inhabitants of the islands.
