SEMARANG
Semarang is situated in 110° 25′ E. longitude and 6° 58′ S. latitude.
The population amounted in 1905 to 5,126 Europeans, 13,636 Chinese, 698 Arabs, 787 other foreign Orientals, and 76,413 natives; total 696,660. The old city is small, with narrow streets and lanes. On the west side of the river are the residence of the Regent, the Mosque, the Post and Telegraph Office, the Hospital, the Government House containing the Offices of the Resident, the Court of Justice, and different other Government offices.
The railway extends to Batavia and Sourabaya. The roads of Semarang do not afford the same accommodation as the harbour of Tandjong Priok, but the view of the city and surroundings is very fine. So-called steam tramways, being in fact light railways with quite a considerable capacity, both for goods and passenger traffic, extend from Semarang westward along the coast as far as Cheribon, and further on up-country to a place called Kadipaten; and also to the eastern parts of the residency Semarang and the residency Rembang, also to Soerabaja, as mentioned above.
