THE SITUATION IN SIAM,
(BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
Bangkok, June 19'h. There is nothing parccally new to relate. The preparatious for the anticipated blockade are anlaskened and the general anxiety deepens as the 1st of July approaches. Men and guns are being sent down to the Pakuam ports dally and the faltway is almost blocked now. It still asserted that the French squadron are under steam at Saigon ready to leave for here at any montent; their presence there, alde from the tanding of a small force at Koh Samit, is in itself ample justification Er the Action of The Simex Government. even yet, been the slightest attempt on the part of the French to formulate their demands, and, what they want is a great an enigma as ever. Whether they will send in un ultimatum before resorting to open hostilitise is still doubt. ful, though of course they must formally notify the neutral Powers before they can stop our commerc: Marebver their blockade will have to be effective, and not partial, before it will be recognised by the Powers, and how an effective blockade of the Gulf of Siam can be maintalard by the French squadron of four weasels is not very apparent. If they can do it, shipowners need not be told that their craft will be seized and confiscated, if caught in those waters.
There has not,
Supplies can always be brought overland from Duims, in the meantime; a blockade does not extend to neutral territory and in the same way communication with the outer world will still be possible via Tavos, after the Siamese bare cut
the Saigon cable.

FUTUNA'S QUEER TALE.

Futons. Away in the middle of the great Pacific "Far from the madding crowd" in qualot It lies, a little paradise, seven miles long and scarcely so much across, but majestic and come manding by reason of its height. And Futuna has a story the like of which you will hardly find strange things, some in at the Sath sent, where there are many

The faces of the Futuna people are the most striking clews to the peculiar chapter, in the history of the island. The observer is struck immediately by the strong oriental type of visage slanting eye-bows, almond-shaped eyes and high the camistakable mark of the Chinese-with cheek bones. If dressed in the garb of the orient many of the piris of Futuna would pass muster anywhere as Chinese women
The chief scare, I said in my last, is as to what the Chitese will do. There are scores of thousands of them here, working to the rice and Baw-mills, on cargo-boats, and so on, zil of whom will be thrown out of work. Then, with our doubt, they will take to plundering the Eur-way, take a steamer to Samoa.

Placards are stuck about the place but, whether officially or by enter prising traders, I am enable to say-advising the pen e to lay in stocks of rice and fith before the prices are raised by reason of a blockade,
There is not a cartridge to be bought in the place they have all been bought up by the Europeans, for use in case the Chinese rise. Many householders have amanged to combine, such a thing does occur. for mutual pro- tection, but in many, if not most cases, the residences are too scattered to render that pos- alble. There is no need for me to exaggerate the danger threatened is that quarter. Most of your readers will remember the Verandah flats" in Singapore, five years ago. In those demonstrations only a section of the Chinese in the Settlement took parts well, here a larger population than Singaporn possesses would rise, almost to a mario rifle, rob, and plunder." Of their methods of dealing with their victims one example will suffice. Behind each of the score of rice-mills at which they work are large sexa of ground, covered with refuse paddy-kosk, constantly smouldering, like the coal-heaps at pit-mouth. Beneath their treacherous surfaces is a fierce sed glow. Not once, or long ago, but repeatedly even to this day, the coalies are seen to seize even their own countrymen, and, for no other reason than that they belong to a different province, or secret society, or something equally heinaus, bind them and hurl them into this awful furnace! And it is because there are something te 200,000 such miscreants here that the 600 or 700 Europeans feel misgivings. Even the well-to-do Celestials share the scare, and cousi- derable numbers are leaving by every steamer. Over 800, belles 300 Stamese women, left in the Davawongia alone, on Wednesday, and other boats are equally well-patronized.-Strait Timer..

By the age of the limber, some of which is still there, I estimate that it was 250 years ago that a Chinese junk sighted the island of Fatana. This vessel had evidently been ballt to be useful afterward, for all the traditions speak of the incredibly short time in whics canoes were made out of port foar of it and houses built on shore with the other parts. Beginning on a small island lying close to the mainland the Chinese made a visge of their owa, laid out plantations, dog wells and built them up with coral alabs In a most workmanlike manner, Many of there wells are in good preservation to the present day, although not used. Daring my investigations I had one cleaned out to a depth of over sixty feet without reaching the bottom. So compactly was it walled up that I think it would easily last another century, or even more unless coral crumbles, which it does- not seem to do,

The soll at that pelat, however, was very barren, and the Chinese moved over to the main land. As time ware on they encroached more and more, improving the land as they went. Trouble arose, and the cause to not difficult to divice. There must have been at least 200 lava- ders, nearly all of whom were men. The Futuna women began to admire these ever, Industrious visitors. Now, and I should think in all time, Jeniousy is most powerful force in the breast of Fatunamar. The trouble grew from email annoyances to open thrests. At last a simple AMOY matter, say the old men, brought things to crisis. The Chinese had a big feast on and the King sent word, according to the native custom, that he wanted a pig. Two youngsters took the message, about which they made some mistake, and what the Chinese sent in response to the commend never reached the King. He could no longer control his men and the next day, in the early morning, over 100 Chinese were batchered at their work..
Large sumber of the foreigners were out in their canoes fishing, and when the people in the houses were being cut to pieces the Bsbermer could hear the cries. They evidently knew it was all up, for many of them pot to sex without food or water and were never heard of. The rest were massacred as they landed, and the Chinese la Fatuna thus met their deaths except two,'s man and a woman, who escaped to the bush.
