If, however, the same machinery is shipped Batavia from Singapore in a Dutch steamer, the rbances are that it will arrive in land order and with essential parts missing. There is no doubt that to a considerable extent the desired effect has liren achieved; for whereas formerly nearly everything for any part of Netherlands India used in come flurough Batúvia, it is now a fact that many of, the smaller ports in the Colony are importing and exporting direct. Macassar was made a free port to compete with Singapore, the latter being also fren; but the Sater place has aged such a relentless war that it has de Macassar a great amount of damage.

The people of the land kept to themselves and brooked no inter ference from the Dutch authorities,-who, on their part, let them alone. The district began, however, to be a place of refuge for outlaws and bad characters from places under Dutch sway.
