These are most outrageously treated by the Dutch authorities, and when the commission visited them, they all with one impulse poured, forth their wrongs. If our Government is to protect these people, the place should be regarded as second in importance to Manila alone, and a Consul General should be appointed. He should take charge also of the Chinese in San Pao-lung and the adjacent places. And if Consuls and Vice-Consula need be further appointed, the Consul-General em recommended the necessary appointments, just as in the case of Manila.
The memorialist estimates that lie fees to be annually derived from registration, the issue of invoices, etc., will amount to considerable aum, which, besides defraying all the expenses of the Consulate, will leave a surplus balance. But should the fees prove inadequate to meet experises, the memorialist will raise the deficit by subscription Among the merchants, upon. whom official des will be bestowed,
