man who had the blood Of the Malays in
his veins and who understood their treach-
cry and vindictive cruelty. He was Gen.
Karl van der Heyden, who was born and
grew up in the East Indies. and who rose
from the ranks to be commander in chief
rule over the Achineso, but he retired in
1881 and then the revolt broke out afresh
and has continued ever since.
The Dutch at last. in desperation, retired
to small triangular district, with coast
line from the Port Of Oleh Leh to the
fortified post Of Kota Pohama. A military
dead line was marked by a railroad on an
embankment. and If Malay rebel was
found inside this line he was shot on sight
Outside the line no Dutch soldiers could
go without danger of humiliation.
The Achins number about 1900 600. They
are a dark-skinned race, of small stature,
and almost as intelligent as the Filipinos.
Before the war began the sultan lived In
typical eastern state. He had a feet of
200 vessels and eco elephants. His palace
was full of gold and silver objects, and he
possessed remarkable collection of jewels.
His capital was captured by the Dutch,
but the Achins then began the guerilla
tactics which they have kept up since.
They were, Of course. helped by the great
enemies OF European troops sunstroke and
disease. The peculiar construction of the
native villages was also in favor of the in
surgents. Owing to the rapid rise of the
rivers In Sumatra and the resulting heavy
hoods the dwelling places Of a great num-
Der Of the natives are moored to piles.
On many an occasion, after some dia-
bolical, treacherous outrage, the Dutch
troops would set of on a punitive expedi-
ton against some village, only to find
when they arrived at their objective, that
the villagers had drifted their dwellings to
another quarter.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS WAR.
Holland Seems to Have Finally Sub.
dued the Acheenese.

A special cablegram to the New York
Times from Brussels says that private
news has been received from Sumatra to
the effect that Panglima Polem and Ra1ah
Keumala, who have been for many wears
the two chief rebel leaders, will formally
submit to the Dutch in the course of the
next few days. This, adds the correspond
ent, means the end of the war.
The colonial troops of the Netherlands
have been at war with the Achins (also
called the Atchins or Acheenese, but more
properly the Attehers) almost continuously
since the year 1873.
The cause of the war was the refusal of
the sultan of the Achins to recognize the
suzera1nty of the Netherlands, over which
long negotiations took place. The sultan
sent secret embassy to the United States
diplomatic agent at Singapore to appeal for
the military aid of this country and at the
same time he dispatched commissioners to
treat with the Dutch government
Encouraged by the hope of aid from Great
Britain and the United States. the sultan
rejected the terms offered by the Neither
lands. In the meantime he had obtained
from BRUSH and American merchants great
stores OF arms and ammunition His
eachery led to the declaration of war
against him by the governor general of the
Dutch East Indies
The war thus bagun has cost the Dutch
over S2OO,OOOOO0 and the lives of several
thousand soldiers. One expedition after
another has been sent to Sumatra, but as
soon as the revolt has been apparently
crushed 1t has broken out again. The Dutch
have tried by every means to end the war.
