AsHANTEE AND ACHEEN-Thc fact that
England IS at present engaged in the appa.
rently superfluous business of killing off a
few thousand negroes on the west coast of
Africa, and the Dutch are killing heathens in
Sumatra, excite. little general concern; vet
as illustrating the style" Of the most civi.
lied nations in dealing with peoples less
favored, those wars present few points OF
interest The way they came about was this
The Dutch had certain possessions on what
is known as the "Gold Coast" on the west
coast of Africa, and the English had by force
got a position on the Straits of Malacca, on
the east side of the Bay of Bengal The
Dutch cared little about their African prop.
erty, and the English as little about theirs in
Asia; but having got hold of a slice OF the
splendid island of Sumatra, the Dutch could
better maintain themselves if they could buy
of England its advantage of position in the
Malacca Straits SO the Dutch proposed a
swap, and England agreeing, the swap was
made. Now the Dutch, to keep the peace
with the King of Ashantec, whose "ennira''
adJoined their possessions, had agreed to pay
him $500 a year, in token of acknowledc.
ment of his superior rights over Elmina, a
strip lying between Ashantee and the coast
but when they snapped with England they
made no mention of this incumbrance, y
or If they did, England paid no attention to
it; and as soon as she took possession of her
end ofthe bargain, Of course England ignored
Ashantec's claim, referring him to the Dutch,
who were seas beyond his reach. Hence the
war between England and Ashantee.
At the same time the Dutch IN taking DOS.
session Of their end of the bargain in the
straits of Malacca, encountered an Engli III
agreement to keep hands off Sumatra, and
especially rot to interfere with the rights of
Acheen, But as the Dutch had made the
bargain for this special purpose, of course
they ignored the incumbrance" laid upon
the property by England. And that's why
the Dutcn have q war with the Sultan of
