SEMARANG
Semarang is situated in 110° 25′ E. longitude and 6° 58′ S. latitude. The population consists of 4,800 Europeans, 12,372 Chinese, 724 Arabs, 964 other foreign Orientals, and 70,426 natives, total 89,286. The old city is small, with narrow streets and lanes. On the west side of the river are the residence of the Regent, the Mosque, the Post and Telegraph Office, the Hospital, the Government House containing the Offices of the Resident, the Court of Justice, and different other Government offices.
The railway from Semarang to Djogjokarta is extended to the new harbour canal, so that travellers arriving in the roadstead can continue the journey to the interior without delay at Semarang. The roads of Semarang do not afford the same accom- modation as the harbour of Tandjong Priok, but the view of the city and surroundings is very fine. So called steam tramways, being in fact light railways with quite a considerable capacity, both for goods and passenger traffic extend from Semarang west- ward, along the coast as far as Cheribon, and further on up-country to a place called Kadipaten; and also to the eastern parts of the residency Semarang and the residency Rembang, also to Soerabaja as mentioned above.
