BRITISH NORTH BORNEO NOTES.
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
Sardakan, 26th December, 1889. It is reported that Governors Creagh will pro- cred To Lahuan in time for the first uí Jáðfaxry, in order to assume the administration of the Island, which remains British.
The Colonial Office probably thinks that either Labuan is not worth looking after, or that the administration of North neo is something worthy of the name. I fancy the former is the case. The present kysteneal Government here leaves much to be derived being carried on by an inadequate staff of officials, of whom perhaps four or five might be called men who know their busines, and the rest schoolboys and "cabs" who have yet to learn the elements of their profession, but are nevertheless in r sponsible postions.
The Island of Palawan, which you refer to an lately to a gentleman named Villalha, is not far having been "conceded by the Spaniards from this coast, but the nailves are reported to be not friendly to Spaniards or Europeans generally, Palawan is a very fertile, but very dangerous island for Europeans to operate in.
