TAMSUI AND KELUNG

Formosan ports. The foreign trade at this port is chiefly confined to the shipment of coal. The export in 1894 was 24,243 tons as compared with 21,748 tons in 1893. The limits of the port are defined to be within a straight line drawn from Image Point to Bush Island. On the 5th August, 1881, the port was bombarded by the French under Admiral Léspes, when the forts above the town were reduced to ruins, and the place captured. It was then garrisoned by the French, who held it until after the Treaty of peace had been signed at Tientsin in June, 1885. The place was occupied by the Japanese on the 3rd June, 1895. A railway connects Kelung with Taipeh, the capital, and will be ex- tended thence to Tainan-fu.
