past. There is still a fair native trade carried on, the value of which, according to the Chinese Customs returns from Lappa, in 1900 reached Tls. 17,887,466 as compared with Tls. 13,748,518 in 1899. As the harbour is fast silting up, however, most of the native trade will soon desert the place unless efficient dredging operations are inaugurated. Some work has recently been done in this direction, but the operations are on a small scale. Owing to its being open to the south-west breezes and the quietude always prevailing, Macao has become the frequent_retreat of invalids and business men from Hongkong and other neighbouring ports. There are three well conducted hotels: the Boa Vista, Hing Kee's Hotel and the Hotel Internacional.

The Hongkong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company runs a daily steamer (Sundays excepted) between Macao and Hongkong, leaving the former port at 8 o'clock a.m. and Hongkong at 2 p.m. Another Company runs a regular steamer daily between Hongkong and Macao. Between Macao and Canton there is a daily steam launch service, Sundays excepted. The distance from Macao to Hongkong is 40 miles, and to Canton 88 miles. Macao is connected with Hongkong by telegraph. The population of Macao, with its dependencies of Taipa and Colouan, according to returns made in 1896, was-Chinese, 74,568; Portuguese, 3,898; other nationalities, 161; or a total of 78,627. Of the Portuguese 3,106 were natives of Macao, 615 natives of Portugal, and 177 natives of other Portuguese possessions. Of the foreigners 80 were natives of Great Britain. In November, 1901, a special minister arrived from Portugal, his mission being to arrange with the Chinese Government for an extension of the boundary of the colony. Since the Boxer trouble Macao has been garrisoned with European Portuguese troops.
