tween the Dutch and the inhabitants of these territories. Like the Achinese, they are fanatic Mahomedans; but at first the only part they took in the war was the payment of the "wang sabil" (tax for the war against the unbelieving) on behalf of the Pretendent-Sultan. In later times Gajoe warriors were observed among the fighting tribes...

As long as the assistance of the Gajoes remained of Httle importance no notice was taken of it, the policy of the Dutch Government being to keep them, if possible, out of the war. Even when (1828) Pulu Tidjem and Kota Sukun were obstinately defended by the Gajões under Teungku di Gajo, and Teungku Tapa, by causing a rebellion in the territory of Pasci, thus necessitating the expedition of Idi, and also when (1899) many Gafoes were found amongst the killed in Achinese fortifications, no action was taken, except that messengers were sent to warn them, and to insist on their refusing to admit fugitive tribes. This warn- ing, however, being wholly ineffectual another course became unavoidable..

In March, 1901, a small cotwan was sent from Peusangan to Blang Laka in the Gajoe territory in order to find a path to the lake of Lant- Tawaz on the banks of which the fugitives were said to be. This expedition, the first one which crossed the Gafos frontiers, was successful; no firing took place except on the return of the Dutch troops near Tango Best About that time, however, the Dutch bivouac at Blang Pediz (in the district of Taps Tuan) was attacked by some 2,000 armed Gajons. In the meantime the principal Achin.

ese chiefs of the north coast had surrendered, and were no busily engaged in restoring peace and order in their countries that the Pretendent. Sultan did not consider himself any longer in their territories, and consequently fed to the Gajocs. An expedition to find him became necessary, and Major von Daalen, as he was then, was entrusted with its command. The official instructions issued to Major von Daalen contained amongst other things that hostilities should be avoided as far as possible, that all requisitions (chille, rice, &c) should be paid for, or, in case that course should

prove impossible, a written communication should be sent to the chief concerned-Radja Bockit or Radja Tji-that payment could be obtained at Lho Soumave. If possible, a writ- ten invitation should be sent to the Gajoa chiefs for a palaver with the commander of the column stating that the sole purpose of the expedition was to find the Sultan Achin

and his followers, and that the Dutch had no other but friendly intentions as regards the Gajoes themselves. Strict measures were to be taken to respect all private property of the Gajoes.

The expedition lasted from September 14 Business Manager.

to November 21, 1901. On October 20 the [1177

Pretendent-Sultan and rome 30 or 45 of his followers were surprised by the Dutch troops near Kampong Léaang; all panglimas but two were killed, but the Pretendent-Sultan managed to escape. Radja Boekat and Radja Lingo were the principal Gajoe chiefs support- SCOTSMEN desirous of SUBSCRIBING
