EXILE IN TIMOR.
POLITICAL PRISONERS
PASS THROUGH.
As briefly reported yesterday, there was an echo of the re- cent mutiny of the military garrison nt Macia when the m.v. Svalo passed through Hongkong yester day with two civilian political pri- soners who are being exiled to Timor by the Macao Government for their connexion, it is alleged, with that" affair. They are Mr. Damino Rodrigues, a well-known Portuguese lawyer and journalist of Macao, who had at one time filled the past, of President of the Municipal Council of the Portuguese Colony, and Mr. Jose Almeida, who was Clerk or Secretary of that body.
The charges upon which the Macao Government has proceeded against the prisoners are not of ficially disclosed, and it was left to Д recent our correspondent, in letter dealing with the arrest of a number of civiligh members of the population, to Burmise that the measure was induced by the short- lived mutiny which broke out amongst the garrison' just beforu Christains.
In the chee of Mr. Damlao Rodrigues, it was a fairly well- known fact that he was by no means on the best of terms with the pre sent regime, and his journalistlo essays which have thrown much light on the subject, wore then pointed to as possibly providing one reason why he is now regarded with disfavour by the Government of the Colony.
"Political Reasons,"
Precisely how far he and Mr. Almeida was involved in the lato attempted coup, if they were at all. involved, is that known, and the most that could be learned locally upon the arrival of the Svale yes. terday was to the effect that the prisoners were being shipped to Timor for "political reasons."
