LABUAN NOTES.

י

VERA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

LABUAN, November 4th. Nothing of importance has transpired with regard to the new territory since my last notes, except a couple of journeys to Brunei by the resident. The business appears to hang fire and it would appear from the report on the "New Territory" in last North Bornea Herald that the acquisition is only conditional on the concerned's consent.

The principal topic of interest at present is the enormous increase of Customs Duties from the 15th October amounting from 100% to 700 %. So much more, impoverishment of the country, which is the real payer, and not the Chinese Trader!

Curiously enough placards have been posted. in the public places in Labuan announcing 100 % rise in tobacco duty from 1st January next, besides new taxes on certain other articles, yet nothing has appeared in the Gareffe to confirm this. It may only be a feeler on the Govern or's part to see how people take it. I have not Sec..seen the terms of cession of this administration to the Chartered Coy, but it is reported that the latter cannot levy.any tax except those in force at the time of cession. In any case the Labuan traders have lost no time in making up a petition to the Governor, signed by 38 of the principal traders, against the order.

The Labban census returns have been pub lished, 1, have no hesitation in saying they are not within go per cent of the true figures. The total population is officially given as 8,471. I know of at least 200 people, in one district List of Registered Covers for Merchant Ships. alone, who were not enumerated, and this 5.§. Achilles....P. Davies.

A PHILIPPINE DISASTER AND ITS LESSON.

The optimistic feeling in regard to Philippine conditions, created by the statenents of officers returning from the islands, was rudely shocked a few days ago by the news of the Samar dis aster, which the Detroit News (Ind.) describes as the most serious reverse to American arms that has befallen a single company of triops since the Custer massacre. In some quarters the suggestion is made that the assassination of the President, which was probably reported, to the Filipinos in distorted form, may have been responsible for their attempt at this time to retrieve some of their fost ground. The fact that an entire com- pany of the Ninth Infantry was surprised at breakfast by a force of 400 bolomen seems to show, in the words of the New York Evening Post (Ind.), "that somebody blundered, and blundered badly. "The attacking force," continues, The Pest, "consisted, it is said, of The 400 bolomen, of whom 140 were killed. boloimen were armed with a kind of pike, or sword-blade attached to a pole. The surprise of our men must have been very complete if the massacre was accomplished with such. primitive weapons against men provided with the best of modern firearms.” The loss on the American side was forty-five killed, including the three officers of the company. The Manila American gives the additional information that the Filipinos got between the soldiers, who were breakfasting, and their Iquarters. The insurgents were mostly armed with bolos," it says, "but they had a few rifles with them. It is supposed that the attacking, party was led by the presidente and chief of police of the neighbouring village of Balangiga, and that they shot many of the American soldiers with their own rifles.

Samar is an island a few miles directly south of Luzon. The island is 155 miles long, and it has a population of about 200,000. Its in. 'terior is wild and mountainous, and it is a country in which military operations are so difficult that the Spanirds made no attempt to subjugate it..

"That the captain of an isolated company, in a wild and hostile country, should set his men down to breakfast without the protection of pickets seems scarcely credible," says the Philadelphia Times (Ind.))" yet this is what the despatches suggest. It seems to have been not a battle, but a massacre. The The Chicago Tribune (Rep.) thinks that judgment should be suspended until further details are received, It calls attention to the brilliant war record of the Ninth Regiment in China, where its com manding officer, Colonel Liscum, was killed,

and adds":

THE RECENT FAILURES IN GERMANY

REASSURING VIEW.

The anti-imperialist papers find in the Samiar disaster a new indication of their

print of

View. "Is there no better way than this lof force and bloodshed] by which Americana can perform the duty to civilization and humanity which they have assumed?" asks the Buffalo Expres (Ind. Rep.)

The Springfield Repub- Ucan (Ind.) vaya?
