Britons Want to Know How Uncle Sam Got These Islands. London, July 17.—The action of America in anexing the Islands of! Borneo raises an exceedingly delicate situation, and the British foreign office has asked Washington for an explanation. The islands concerned are a group of seven which originally belonged to the Sultan of Sulu, from whom they passed by a charter In 1881 to the control of the British North Borneo Company, whose officers confirm that they are undoubtedly British territory. The American side of the question, ax given by the United States embassy, is that the Islands are undoubtedly American by right of conquest, having belonged to the Philippines and the Sultan of Sulu having confirmed and acknowledged American suprent acy over them The Islands had never been occupied by any European nation and It Is unknown whether Spain ever recognized the trading treaty which existed between the Borneo company and the Inhabitants of the islands.
