Lisbon, Nov. 1S-Thes Seculo today
says that the Chinese delegates to the
Hong Kong conference having refused
to recognize Portugai's claim IN Macao
or to submit the question to arbitra-
ton. Portugal, with the support OF
Great Britain. has opened pour paFlers
direct with China for the maintenance
of the. status quo.
The Island OF Macao. at tho mouth
of the Canton river, forms. with the
two small adjacent islands of Taipa
and Coloane. province. The city of
Macao is divided, into two wards. one
inhabited by the Chinese ana the other
by n-Chinese. each having its own
administrator. China holds that all
the dependencies of the city of Macao
have been occupied illegally by Por-
,tugal for some years and that the
only concession of territory ever made
to Portugal was the town of Macao,
and she insists that the territory and
islands be evacuated by Portugal.
Some time ago the Portuguese govern
ment sent General Joaquin Jose
Machadosto China In the hope of reach
ing an amicable settlement OF the dis
pute. but little progress has been
made. 4
