THE NEUTRALITY OF PULO
WEY.
SABANG BAY TO BE SAFEGUARDED. An extramadinaty Council
was held on 3rd { ult,, under Queen Wilhelmina's presidency, to decide on the necessary measures for the protec tion of the neutrality of the Netherlands in the Far East, in view of the possible passage of the Taltic Fleet. The fumptir shathe Government had ordered the calling out of the Naval Militia is devoid of foundation, but the Ministry of Mariñockas fuud, every préparķīmiúmdc for the eventuality of the course of things in the East Indies rendering such a step necessary.
In the First Chamber of the. Slates:Generab on 29th ult, M. van Nierop, Liberal, asked the Minister of the Colonies for jnfotination with regant to the report from Tokyo that the port of Subang was to be placed at the disposal of the Baltic Fleet. M. van Nierop explained that, although he did not believe the report, and had already seen what appeared to beaṣemi-official contradiction in the newspapers, he thought an official statement should be made on the subject M. Įdenburg, Minister of the Colonies, in reply, made, on behalf of the Government, a state- ment, which, however, he said was almost superfluous, that there was not a word of truth in the reports that the port of Sabang, in Sumatra, would be placed the disposal of one of the belligerents in the Far East for military purposes. Nothing, said the Minister, had ber been asked or granted in respect to the use of the port. Both in Holland and the East Indies the strictest neutrality was being observed by the Government, which would acquit itself of the obligations imposed apoo it by neutrality and International law until the end of the war.

The firing of heavy guns in it Westerly direction denoted that the forces were gelling into touch, and soon a general bombardment appeared in pro- gress.
Shortly before ten o'clock the Andromeda landed a party of men on the Aberdeen side of the islane, and a packet boat with a heutenant and ten men subsequently left for the Sulphur Channel. They managed to get through safely and entered the barbour shortly before mid- night. It was raming, at the lone, and the party got ashore close to the Naval dockyard, which TILE bajority of the Chinese residing in An-ney subsequently captured and, technically cam are natives of Kwangtung and, terasional. ly, when they erected monasteries, or temples, these were heavy taxed by the Frenchmen. Last year they intended to impose taxation on these places of woship at the rate of from $100 to between $joo and $600 each, which fart having aroused the indignation of the native merchants, secret letters to the French were written during that nutumn, de.

Concerning the report that Sabang would be used as a coaling station for the Russian Baltic Fleet, it is probably not without interest to observe that the seaport and coal station Sabang is a private limited company establish- ed in January, 1899, and with the head office at Amsterdam. According to the statutes the object of the company is described as follows:— Sabang in the Sabang Bay Island Wey, at the

TIX WEATHER,
On the subject of the Port of Sabang and Dutch neutrality Mr. G. A. Witt, General Agent for the Sabang Bay Harbour and Coal Company (Lid), refers to the statement made in the Dutch House of Representatives by the Minister of the Colonies that the strictest neutrality will be maintained at the Port of Sabang. The Sabang Bay Harbour and Coal Company (Ltd.), who are the sole importers of coal and depot owners in the island of the Pulu Wey, request him to declare on their behalf that they have neither contracts nor arrangement of any kind with either of the belligerents to coal any of their vessels at their depot, and that under all circumstances they will act in accordance, will the strictest rules of neutrality.
