of any kind as belligerents would, in could it be a fact that the Portuguese soldiers and constables could find no better way to disperse the crowd than to fre and kill them? It must either be that the soldiers and cor- stables were disobeying the orders of their superiors or that the Macso authorities were disregarding the lives of the Chinese. How would the Macao authorities give an explanation for that? To say that the workmen had long been contriving to strike and to plot against the Macao Government before the bloodshed In rather perverse and only serves to palliate the Government's own faults. Jastire is in the hearts of men.

It is quite impossible cover the ST with only one hand. In short, the incident originated from the insult of the African soldier towards the Chinese Woman and what is still wome the

to

Macao authorities bad been prompting the soldiers and police to kill the Chinese

to

people freely. For such facts our Government bas had sufficient evid- ence. Such behaviour is not only destructive to the principle of justice but also detrimental to moral law. It is therefore apparent that they paid no regard to the friendly relations between the two countries, and our Government deems it a great shame. What is contained in your reply is} but fictitious, and I notice that you have attached importance the alight points while the important ones have been put aside. By this you erase the faults of your subordinates and do not seem to bave the least inclination to repent. With a view to protecting the lives of the Chinese residents in Macao, our Go vernment has to take adequate measures to deal with the case. Ini obedience to the instruction of His Excellency the Civil Governor, I beg) to lodge the following demands before you. If the Macao Government has the sincerity to maintain the good friendship which ever existed between the two countries, it should set accord. ing to what we expect.

1. The killing of Chinese workmen by the Portuguese soldiers and police is nothing but a disgrace to the national dignity of China. A delegate! of the Macao Government accom panied by the Portuguese Consul- General in Canton should be sent to give due apology to the Canton Government on behalf of the Portuguese Government.

2. The Portuguese soldiers and police and the offices who were responsible for the incident should be severely punished. The names of the persons who are to be punished and the punishment inflicted should be furnished to this Government.

3. The families of the dead thould be duly compensated by the Portuguese Government and medical expenses should be paid to those who were wounded. The amount of com- pensation and medical expenses should be discussed and agreed upon by the Canton Government and the Macso Government

4. In order to avoid further trouble the African soldiers in Macao are to leave Macao. These rude manners have long been creating hatred among the Chinese rezidenta in that port. Foreigners in Macao have the aame dislike for them. It may by seen in an editorial article of one of the Hong- Long papere. It advocates that sooner these savage soldiers leave Macao the better.

5. Gambling in Macao is an evil to the Chinese in the place and its neighbourhood. Our Government has repeatedly requested the Macso Government to prohibit the same but without effect. To show good faith and sincerity for the friendship be tween the two countries there should be izohibition of gambling in Macao I hope you will be pleased to trans mit the above to the Governor of Macao for a satisfactory reply.

Kwangtung. ANOTHER WAY OF DOING IT.

"Don't gamble" declares a Heung. shan society in its recent printed circular, is the best measure to deal with the Macao government." The circulars state that the gambling revenne is the largest item of incor of the Macso government: If the Chinese people are not going to gam-- ble in Macao, the income of the Macao government will be greatly lessened. **We-don't have to take drastic insasures at all. Simply do not gamble yourself and urge others not to gamble in Macao will do the work.”.
