THE OPENING OF FORMOJA.
Doe of the new ports opened by the Tientsin Trosty was, as we have seen, Tal-win in Formosa. Our survey would be incomplete wlibout some notice of that island, which already | occupies an important place in the commerce of the East, and which by reason of its coal resources and geographical position promises to become of greater importance in the future.
This island, called The Beautiful, is chiefly Inhabited by the descendants of Chinese settlers who came over from the province of Fabklen, and who introduced the calfivation of tea, rice. sugar, and indigo. The aborigines, however, I more of the Malay than of the Mongolian stock, and one account says that they came originally from the Philippines. But even wilbis the range of European history in the East, Formosa has not always belonged to China. When we first heard of it in the 17th century, the Japanese claimed it, or rather a considerable portion of it.
Somewhere about the year 1630, the Dutch East India Company erected a fortified factory on the little island off. Takwan known as Zelandia. [Fort Zelandia is at Tamsuf-Ed,, K-Telegraph. They-proceeded to acquire large tracts ofland on the main island, and in due time proclaimed Formore to be a Dutch colony and a dependency of Batavia. This bronghi down upon them both the Japanese and the Warm work followed The opposition was Spaniards then located at Manila, and some beated off, however, after a series of hnedy fights, and then the Dutch settlement flourished for a while in trade relations with China and the Dutch East Indies,
Next appeared the Chinese on the scene, who defeated the Dutch forces, destroyed their oily ing stations, blockaded Zelandia, and laid alege to the Dutch fort. A fect sent from Batavia to the rescue was caught in a gale, and either wrecked or forced to run back to Java, and the Datch garrison anirendered-with the usual results where Asiatics are the victors.
This was in roốt, but next year a second fleet- despatched from Java re-captured Tamil and Keelung, which were held by the Dutch East India Company for some six or seven years thereafter. They found the holding too expen- sive and precarious for thele resources, however, and they negotiated the transfer of their posses- sions for the Chinese leader as Zelandia. Thus In 1668 the Durch finally withdrew, with honour if without proft, Dutch names are still to be found in the island, and also the remains of Dutch cultivation.
In Old Town the police fficers supposed attempt bad been made to blow up the Tacoma MIII.

In distress.

Persons living near the hospital declared that following the noise described they heard the ambulance drive up to the hospital directly after hearing the building collapse.
Now came the turn of the Chinese, the leader of whom at the capture of Zelandia was the son of a Japanese woman, His name was Koxinga, and his character was very, much like that of the Flizabethan adventurers who torced the hand of Spain in America. He established a sort of Independent kingdom in Formosa, as he refused to accept the Taitar rule in China, but after his death the Tartars made expeditions agalost Formosa, which finally, some fifteen years after the Datch had retired from it, was added to the Chinese Empire..

Bangkok, 29th October, 1892. Mr. Bock, a German surveyor engaged by the Royal Railway Department, has arrived, Another Burveyor and two engineers are on their way out. On Tuesday night a Javanese at Bangrak stabbed a countryman, a badji, with a knife, inficing severe wounds, and took refuge in
the Children's Home, Chevaller Kenn de Hoogerweerd bas authorised Chief Inspector Sheriff to arrest the man.
Mr. C.

A. G: Tilleko will act as agents for the respective Compables.
But for Psalmanazar the name of Formos was practically forgotten in Europe for a century after the Dutch retired from it, but meanwhile the Chinese were flowing over to people the Island, and even the Japanese were frightened to approach it again. In 1771, however, A party of Russlas exiles escaped from litle vessel roughly Kamachatka In a bullt of fir-wood, and landed on the north-cast coast of Formons. They were armed, and when assailed with yells and stones by the Islanders, they replied with powder and shot, captured a vllage and then made terms with the inhabitants. The leader of this little force was called Benyousky, and to him is due the credit of the discovery of coal in Formosa, if he did not actually find it himself, he predicted that it would be found, and where. He did not stay, however, to makethe most of his knowledge and after exploring a good part of the island he sailed off with his fellow exiles to Macao,

There were few despatch-boats attached to the feet, and clipper-brig called the An* (belonging, if we mistake not to the famous arm of Jardine, Matheson & Co.), was engaged by the Admiral on the station to sun home with the malls and a lot of official matter. In trying to force his passage through the straits during a fog, the skipper, unfamiliar with the strong currents, rap her ashore on Formosa. She was not knocked to places on the rocks but lified bodily over them on to the beach beyond, within The crew of co few miles of Tamsul were all immediately taken prisoners, strong together in chains and marched to the common Jail in the old Dutch fortress. Inside they found already tome 200 survivors of the Ner budds transport to the astonishment of both parties. After four or five, months of the horrors of a Chinese prison, about three inaiths of the poor wretches (mostly Lascars) were called out, put up in rows, and lacked to places with the swords of the executioners. Some 160 were thus dis posed of, after the brutal manner of the Chinese of the period. The rest were probably reserved for another treat later on when the swordsmen are sufficiently recruited from their labours, but meanwhile came the news of the Treaty of Nanking, and the survivers of the two wrecked vessels were sent over to Amoy,'

It was in 1847 thai the coal deposits were first proved, and yet in nearly fifty years compara- tively little has been done to sillie them. They are believed to underlie the greater portion of the island, but the coal as yet is only worked in the neighbourhood of Keelung, where it crops up to the surface. For twenty years or so, the Chinese lumbered and blundered on at the mines in their own clumsy fashion, getting the mint mom of result out of the maximum of pretence, but la 1876 some English miners were imported, and since then the operations have been con- ducted in a more rational manner, although they were rudely suspended by the attack of the French in 1894, where, without declaring war, Admiral Courbet bombarded Keelung, occupied the town and the works, and defeated the Chinese
Army.
In truth Formosa has been most unfortunate as a sort of Eastern egck-pit. Thus, Justį žen years before the French performance referred to, the Japanese had a grievance on account of the murder of some Japanese sailors by some of the
wild Formosan tribes. They sent a small amy and chastised the savages, but they forgot to withdraw, and the Chinese gave them short notice to quit, with threats of forcible eviction. They did not get way without a row, necessita- and the Ing the inten ention of Great Britain payment of a considerable indemnity.
