The Siamese, having wounded the Consul of one country, soon after had trouble with the representative of another.
The German Minister to Siam was attacked in the streets, not by soldiers, as was Mr. Kellett, but by a mob.
The dispatches say that an American named Bennett put himself at the head of the police, beat back the mob, and saved the German Minister's life.
The reasons for this last outrage have not been given, but in this case the Siamese government has behaved very well.
An apology has been sent to the German Minister, and the King has decorated him with some Siamese order.
Of course this makes us feel all the more surprised that the King does not take any notice of the wounding of Mr. Kellett, but our gunboat is at Bangkok, and if the King owes us an apology, he will be made to give it.
The long-talked-of treaty between England and Venezuela has been signed. These countries agree to settle the question of the boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana by arbitration.
In No. 9 of The Great Round World you will find a full account of the quarrel between England and Venezuela. It was said that England claimed more land than belonged to her.
You will see, if you look at No. 9, how the United States stepped in, and helped to adjust matters.
