In conformity with the sunomoment in the Boletim, there was aeitting of the Juuiada ason- da to consider the tenders for the Fan-tan farm on the 8th inst., atip.m. The farm is for Macao, Taipa, and Colowan, for the period of ass year. There were only two tonders, and that of Mr. La Kao, offering $190,000, was scrapted. I am quite convinced that although a new man kas como forward the concorn will be in the same Lands as at prosent, for Mr. La Kuo belongs to the syudicate who pow hold the monopoly.
