In my last account. of the revolt I reported that the village had been bombarded by the Betillery and redased to ashes, but the inhabit- ants, together with the pirates, have not yet boen subdued They have taten refuge be hind the granito forte erected on various parts of the island, and these will be subjected to anothor bombardment if the inhabitants do net sabuit and tender their allegiones to the Macro Govoroment

Martial law has been proelnimed in the ter ritories of Taipa and Colowan...
Opinions vary as to the number of rebels. The village of Colowan has a population of some- where about two thousand, and not being very sympathetic towards tho Portugueso they have thrown in their lot with the pirates, who are supposed to number at least two hundred Bome estimates place their force at a thousand, but that is most probably an exaggeration.
As for back se May 5th the pirates were. known to be operating in the neighbourhood. Abent that time a petition was presented to His Excellensy the Governor, in which it was stated
that some hundrad pirates had handed at the village of Tong Hang in the Sun Hing district and attacked a school, carrying off seventeen talents and ous servant, whom they held to ransom for $35,000.
