in re the somewhat ensational Intelligence which has of late einanated from Slam the Bangkok Times of the 19th says Apropos the recklessness of statements concerning Siam put forth by European newspapers, and notably by the London Standard, we have again to compials of the inaccuracy of a paragraph for which the Sketch is responsible. This is 'as follows: "The Slamere and the French will presently come to loggerbenda, for one French consul has been compelled to leave Bangkok, and the French Minister resident there is boycotted." Statements such as this, utterly withnit foundation in fact, are calculated to create grave mischief.
