THE SIAMESE QUESTION.
(By CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
London, July 29. In tho Houso of Commons to-day, Sir E. Groy stated that the Crown Law officers were enquiring into the legality of the French blockade in Siam.
Ho said there was great perplexity as to the actual dato of the blockade. The Frenoh foreign minister had informed tho British Ambassador in Paris that it would begin on the 31st, while the British Minister in Bangkok had wired that it began on Wednesday last. Siam has accepted tho French ultimatum in its eutirifcy, and Franco accepts the reply, leaving the provinces in Upper Mekong, which England ceded to Siam, subject to separate negotiation between France and England.
