THE KUDAT COUNTER-RAID,
In our last issue, says the B. N. B. Herald, we furnished our readers with certain parti culars concerning the attack upon Kudat which, if the arrival of the Governor at Sandakan and the dance given by the P. M. 0. be excepied; was the only event which served to break the monotony of an obstinately rainless April. To-day, owing, principally ta the return of the Conimandant to Sandakan, we are able to give some further information as to the action which has been taken to write the displeasure of the Government big upon the villages whence the raiders drew their greatest pumerical strength. That this should have been accomplished without the shedding of a drop of blood, or any breach of the peace, is in itself a matter for satisfaction.
.
The clerk Arsad, who was the first to warn Kudat of the approaching danger, added to the value of his previous services by bringing in certain information which pointed in the fact that the defeated raiders, or at any rate those of them who belonged to the Hanun villages, were concentrated in one or two villages near the southern extremity at the Kudat Peninsula, This was duly reported to the Governor, and on May 9th, the s.s. Labuan left Sandakan carrying with her Mr. and Mrs. Clifford. The Labiau reached Kadat on, the 20th May, and on the 21st, she suddergly departed with a body of Indian police and Dynks under the con mand of Captain Harington. Mr. Malcolm accompanied the force, with which als went the Resident of Kuent to see fair play in his capacity of political oficer. On the morning of the 23rd the Labuan returned to Kudat from her cruise, bringing with her, in addition to her original complement, a compact banet of thirty prisoners. The latter were marched off to the gaol, where they found sevenll their friends already awaiting them. It is believed that there had not beep, so many of the aiders together under one of sine the memmable night upon which they made their futile attack upon unoffending Kucht.
Toki thus baldly--and we have already en- larged considerably upon the curt descriptions afforded to us by the Commandant, whose taciturn modesty on occasions such as this is well known, the affair seems hardly to warrant record as an event; but looked at with the seeing eye, much may be discovered to lie hidden behind this barren statement of unpic- turesque fact The Labran with her compact little force, packed somewhat after the manner of sardines in a tub, steamed quietly away from Kudat in the afternoon, and it was not until midnight that she found herself on the west. coast of the Peninsula some miles to the north of Pendasan. Her lights were out, her move- ments were slow and stealthy; with the iron- ical turning of the tables, which only the passage of long years can bring about, the descendants of the old Hanum pirates were being stalked in the dark by a white man's craft, much as in bygone times stranger vessels were donged to ugly ends by those rovers of the sea. The coast was not one with which the master of the ship was acquainted, but with his usual pluck and skill Captain Pfort navigated her close in to the land. At a dis tance of about halfa mite a light was visible on the shore, and two boats were sent off manned by Dyaks to swoop down upon the men who might be watching in the vicinity of that fire, The inen raved silently, and landed above and helow the point on which that tell-tale light was burning, but when they closed in around it they found that a small camp, of which it was the centre, had been recently evacuated. The only occupant was a buffalo, tethered and saddled. On receiving the report of the Dyaks the Com- mandant at once labeled his force, and with the aid of guides, whom he bad brought with him, started in for the village of Ludahy, the objective of the expedition. After about an hour's marching through abominable mangrove swamps a balt was called, and scouts were sent on in the direction of the village to discover whether, in truth, the alarm had been spread by the fugitives from the camp upon the beach. Here a miserable hour was passed, all bands squatting as best they could upon the slimy mud-banks of the swamp. Overhead the moonlit sky was nearly obscured by the tangled branches of the mangrove trees below was stagnant water, foul and evil-smetting, and A comfortless twisted roots which would not suffer a man to sit or rest with ease. The insistent longing for sleep was heavy on the waiting men; the gloom of the place was a thing tangible the silence, made-up-of-half heard sounds from tree and bird and insect, gripped you as with ka invisible hand; now and again it was rudely broken by the jingle of arins and accoutrements, as first one man, and then another, fell a prey to slumber, and toppled ́off his comfortless sent of roots into the clammy mud at his feet. And with a cruel slowness the minutes dribbled by, filled for the Europeans with weariness, anxiety and suspense,
At Just the scouts returned. They had been unable to ascertain whether the village was occupied or deserted, but if occupied the alarm of the coming of the force had certainly not reached it. The march was, therefore, resummed, and just as the dawn was breaking the strag gling village of Ludah, which has one leg on The near and the other on the far, bank of the river of that name, was carefully surrounded. Moreover it was occupied. As soon as the alarm was given frightened men, rudely awakened from the stumbers which are mistakenly sup posed to be the exclusive perquisic of the just, began tumbling out of the marrow doorways, bearing knives in their hands, and stood stupidly staring at the cordon of armed strangers which was ringed about them in the light of the new.

and returned with their captives to the ship. She at once got under way and steamed down the coast to Pendasan. Here the force landed again, and the village promptly hoisted a white. flag in token of submission. A number of important arrests were made here, the work being facilitated by the fact that the Chief is a man who has always Been loyal, and when some arms had been taken possession of, in- cluding a couple of the Government rifles Inoted from Gaya, the ship started back up the const
At about three o'clock in the afternoon the vessel arrived off the spot whence a short walk brings you to the village of Layar-Layar. The landing of the force was delayed for some time hp a violent rain squall, bus at about 4-30 pm the men were transported to the beach, and be fore sundown the place was surrounded without the inhabitants being made aware of the proxi- mity of the force. Then followed more arrests. and more disarming, and the deserted village of Kenyong having been visited and found stiff untenanted, the whole party returned to the Labuan. It was seven o'clock at night, and the men had been out of bed, and fairly hand at work since before midnight on the previous evening. That spells fatigue of a substantial quality, but the work accomplish was satis. factory and sleep is never made less sweet by the memory of labours that are passed,
The only matter for regret is that Kamunts, the Hanun, was not found in any of the villages, though strong hopes are now entertained of his capure. He and Si-Langap are al present the only two prominent men remaining at large, and the latter is &ffering from a severe gun shot wound. Raja Panji, Dato Ali, Sharif Abubakar, and several other leading chiefs are all in Kudat gaol. The prisoners state that they lost thirty killed besides many wounded on the night of the attack, but these figures are probably exaggerated. So far only eighteen bodies fave been accounted for.
We have given prominence to this affair partly because we consider that the Command- ant's expedition was a neatly conceived and pre- cisely executed little business which deserves to receive recognition, and to be placed on record to his credit, hut also because it has a very real importance and significance of its own. It is somewhat in the nature of a new experience for the natives of the Territory to find that a while man's force is able to drop down upon them on occasion apparently from the sky, that the arms of the law are long enough to render the posi tion of those who have been engaged in balter- ing upon its face uncomfortably insecure, and that errors of judgment, such as joining in a raid n Kudat, are likely to be expensive to a large number of those who have been so unwise as to be guilty of them. An acquaintance with these useful pieces of information will tend, we trust, to make lay-breaking on a large scale less popular. in the future, than it has been in the past.
As the proverb has it, "Tis an ill raid that brings nobody any loot," and in this ap horism we agree. From first to last the attack on Kudat has brought the Herald in something like ten columns and a bittock.
THE CRUISE OF THE" PORPOISE."
An interesting event during the cruise of ILM.S. Porpoise, which returned to Sydney on the 28th May front the South Sea Islands, was the hoisting of the Iritish flag on Savage stand, in the presence of the leading clrief and the white residents. On the flag being hoisted a royal salute was fired, and there was much rejoicing. The Perfaise reports that Falcon In 1898 the Island has again appeared. Porpoise looked for the island, but failed to find any trace of it. A repon has been sent to the Admiralty to the effect that during the pre- sent cruise a look-out was kept for the island, which was discovered.
A FAMINE IN PAPER.
During tic past few months the output of paper in England for newspaper purposes has. been about 3,000 tons a week. Quite recently a fire at Sittingbourne cut the figure down to 4.500 tons.
For over six months there has been a famine of "cheap news," as the trade call the paper on which daily, newspapers are printed. Mr. Fred. Bowater, of the firm of W. V. Bowater and Sons, the largest paper agents in London, has told a Daily Mail representative that during that period the price of "cheap news" has gone up from 50 to 60 per cent
"Coal," said Mr. Bowater, "is partly responsible for this remarkable state of thing. The price of coal has increased from 50 to 60 per cent, and it takes from one and a half to two tons of coal to pro- duce one ton of 'cheap news.' More highly finished papers need anything up to six tons of coal to produce per ton, but although cheap news can be made with a ton and a half or two tons of coal, the coal item is very heavy, and the rise in coal bas acted on the price of 'cheap news.
"But there is something more than the dear- ness of coal to account for the paper famine, and that is the lack of water power in Scandi navin last year, which reduced the output of Scandinavian wood pulp, of which 'cheap news' is chiefly made. So the newspapers have had to struggle, as it were, for cheap news,' and some of them have had to put up with quaint motted varieties at high prices,"
The enormously increased sale of news- papers owing to the war has, of course, accentuated the position.
The enhanced price of paper is much felt by the smaller provincial papers, many of which have for some time been circularising their agents, begging thein not to order more papers than they can actually dispose of
Now six sheds of machinery belonging to Messrs. Lloyd have been destroyed by a fire, the damage being about £30,000, and one- half of Messrs. Lloyd's power of production has been suspended."

Refugees report that there has been a general losting of private houses in Johannesburg be- the surrender, and that sanitation in that town has been completely neglected, There has been a great flight of foreigners from Johannesburg.
Several prominent Outlanders, who are well acquainted with the Witwatersrand and the adjacent country, have joined Lord Roberts at the front as guides and advisers. Many of the Transvaalers are indignant at the accumulated deception of their leaders, and are deserting that the British have commandeered all the children hr India over twelve years of age for military service. It is also stated that the British are burning all the Boers' farms, and that they are exposing the women and children. on thie veldt. Many of the Free Staters have refused to enter the Transvaal.

The March to Mafeking. The total number of casualties at Mafeking Out of 44 while during the siege was 924 officers six were killed and 15 wounded, while out of 975 men 67 were killed av 103 wounded, with 26 missing. Twenty-five coloured persons were killed, and 58 wounded. Among the non- combatants, most of the casualties were sus tained by the natives of the Baralong tribe, Only four white non-combatants were killed and five wounded.
A banquet was held in Maleking on the Queen's Birthday, General Baden-Powell declared that Colonel Mahon's march to the relief of Alafeking, averaging as it did 20 miles per day, eclipsed the march of General Sir F. (now Lord) Roberts to Kandahar in the Afghan campaign of 1879, as Roberts' column covered only 16 miles daily.
Thirty-two rebel ringleaders were captured by the British during Colonel Mahon's march to Mafeking. Some incriminating documents
were also seized.
Commandant Suyman, who conducted the Boer operations against Mateking, was wounded in the foot during the recent fighting. He has now retired from the conflict.
The Prisoners.
Lord Rosslyn, the correspondent of the Lon- don Daily Mail, who was recently captured by the Boers, has despatched a cable message to his paper from Pretoria. He says that Mr. A. Hay, the American consul, and some of the other consuls, feating that there would be an outbreak among the British prisoners at Water- val. obtained the release on parole of twenty British officers. The latter reassured the men, and announced their early release.
Two Australians who were captured,one at Co. tenso in Natal, and the other at Rensburg in Cape Colony, were treated by the Boers as common felons, simply because they were Colonials. They received only one pound of meat each per week and a small portion of bread. They escaped from Pretoria to Lobatsi, and finally arrived at Mafeking after many parrow escapes. On one occasion the Boers were within three yards of the spot where the two Australians were hiding. They had little food, and at one time were without water for 48 hours.
The Rudyard Kipling Fund has provided one thousand kits for the British prisoners at Pretoria:

Major-General Hildyard dicovered several barrels of dynamite under the Town Hall at Newcastle on the re-occupation of the town by the British. Forty rebels surrendered to the British at Newcastle on the 28th. After having taken the oath of neutrality under penalty of death to observe it, they were allowed to re- turn to their farms.
It was fabled on the 6th inst, that a Cape trooper named Smythe had been brutally treated by the Boers at Donkerpoort, the unfortunate man having been shot in the head, shoulder, and leg, and then left for dead. One of the Boers concerned in the affair was captured by the British at Clocolane and shot, after having been tried by court-martial.
The ceremony of the annexation of the Oringe Free State to the British Crown was performed-in-the-market-square, Bloemfontein, in the presence of an unmense concourse of people. The proclamation was read by Major- General G, T. Pretynian, the military Governor of the Free State. The proceedings; which were characterised by great ceremony, closed with cheers for Her Majesty the Queen.
In connection with the death of Sergeant Campbell, husband of Mrs. Patrick Campbell,

Professor Flinders Petrie has just reported the results of the past winter's exploration at Abydos and other store houses of records of prehistoric times in the Egyptian desert. Fascinating, indeed, are the season's dis coveries, for practically they add a thousand years to the written history of the human race.
