THE BLOCKADE AN ERROR.
(PRESS ASSOCIATION.) (Keceived August 3, 7 p.m.) London, August 2,
Sir E. Grey, Political Under Secretary for the Foreign Office, replying to questions re the blockade by France in Siam, stated that only one British steamer was stopped, and that only temporarily. He stated that tho blockade was an error, but the loss to trade had been very slight.
The Hon A. J. Balfour said if Lord Rosebery, the Foreign Secretary, had abstained from advertising the opinion that Great Britain had no interests in Siam, France would have been discouraged from annexing territory there.
