Constantinople, May s.-The citi-
Lens Of Bitlis have reyolted because the
governor had received orders TO send
all the available cereals To Van and
Bazhkalek, as kilograms from Erzer-

Bitlis was the nearest point whence as
sistance could be sent.

asserted he was the Savior, his wife the

rest, which he resisted until wounded.
On the premises were found the two
bodies of his children in decomposed
state. evidently murdered some time

LABOUR CONTRACTS IN ST.
CROIX.

A Journalist is expected to furnish
his readers with information as to
what takes place within the local cir
Gle, and frequently has to procure
that information by conversing with
various persons and then forming his
own conclusions as to the true state
Of the case from what he thus collects.
When he is dealing with matters of
numbers, he has therefore often to
speak in general terms, leave wide
margins, and introduce the words

A LETTER FROM THE
WESTINDiES.
Translated From the Dagblad Of 9th s. 9th
December.)
(OOnclWded.)

In now taking into consideration that
institution, which A. looks upon as the
second one of the principal causes towards
the calamities of ST. Croix, l do SO with
full consciousness of the indignation to be
caused in Denmark by the expression of
my opinion at a time, when the worthless
ness of the so called bureau-system in St.
Croix seems to have become a political
axiom, and when even out here voices are
raised against it, which are worthy of
uotice. It is however not the greater or
, 1880-01-17

"probably", perhaps, "about", and so
forth, and it is no wonder if his i'm
pressions are sometimes found to be
incorrect when brought into compari-
son with exact data. Something like
this appears to have happened to our
selves in regard to the contract ques-
ton. In our issue of 31st December,
we said that "on the greater number
of estates, probably much more than
half, no contract was signed, but that
the labourers worked by the day and
the engagement was terminable by a
months notice on either side" We
would first explain that in saying no
contract was signed, we did not mean
to say that not one contract was sign
ed on such estates, but only to des-
cribe what we believed to be the rule
followed. We must admit however
that we believed that very few were
under contract on most of these estates,
and that our words convey the impress
sion, which was also our belief, that
less than half the labourers had signed
contracts. Since publishing that ar
ticle we have been afforded access to
official returns which show that we
were mistaken, and we give the fol-
lowing summary Of the returns sent
in to the Presidency on the 9Th Of
December last, which shows the true
state Of the case. We would only
remark that the total number of la
bourers $4,000 returned for the IS
estates strikes us as rather low. The
summary is as follows:-Of the IS
estates from which returns were re-
ceived there were only 8 where no
labourer had signed q contract since
the 1t of October, and of the remain
ing Is there were only s where the
number Of labourers working without
contracts was greater than the num-
Der who had entered into q contract.
On 81 estates therefore the number
OF contract lab0urers was in excess of
the non-contract labourers, and of
these estates there were "a where
(leaving invalids out of the account)
there was not a single labourer who
had not signed a contract with the
owner or manager. Turning from
the estates to the labourers themselves,
we find the total number of labourers
under contract on the IS estates to be
4450 while only $50 were working
without a contract. Of these ALSO,
some were labourers who had enter
ed into contracts before the 1st of
October, and after deducting them,
there are still 5000 who have signed
contracts under the new regulations.
Of these 5000, there are 600 who are
bound only for a month, leaving $500
who have bound themselves for long
err than a month under thenew system.
Finally, out Of the "a estates which
do not employ labourers except under
contract, a Gall sugar estates with one
exception) do not employ any except
under contracts of longer than II
month. It also appears from the re-
turns that there are scarcely any I'M
employed persons on the estates, ex-
cept such as are sick and feeble.
The subject is of such interest that
we shall return to it from time to time
as we may get new information.
