What a deceitful world this is, to be sure. Tum Jaya Bode of the 17th August states that afficial reports and private advices from Acheen admit that the action of the 26th July was indecisive.

Evidently the war party is strong in numbers among the Achinese, and must be reckoned with in planning future opera tions for the subjugation of the country.
