iication by the Trustees and officers
of the church. The beautiful dedi-
catory service was read by Rev. X.
A. Chase and Chancellor Buchtel.
In the evening an appropriate SER

Chase. which was a fitting close OF
the days services. The Board OF

VICTORIA, British Columbia, July o
The unreIenting methods Of the Dutch
soldiers in the Dutch East Indian pos
sessions In dealing with the natives among
whom piracy continues were illustrated
In the deliberate sufYocation of thirty-one
Achinese men. women and children by a
punitive expedition on the Sumatra coast
in early June. The story reaches here
by Canadian Pacific steamer.
The victims were supposed to be the
daring and bloodthirsty party which a
few weeks previously attacked and plum
dered trading junk Of Japore. killing
the majority of her crew. The perpe-
traitors of this outrage, being pursued by
police boats from Singapore, took refuge
in southern Sunatra, where they estab-
lished headquarters In roomy cave.
They were tracked by the Dutch troops.

the fugitives had incurred by cruel forays.
Overtures were at first opened for the
surrender OF the party. and the pirates
asked that one of the military officers be
sent to discuss the situation. For this
duty a young lieutenant volunteered. He
was promptly driven back. fatally wound

Their reply was shower of spears and
volley from the ancient firearms they
possessed. Orders were thereupon given
that no mercy be shown. The command
ing officers had fires built at the cavern
mouth, the smoke from which poured in
ward In dense clouds. When 1t was
thought that the outlaws had been suffi-
ciently smoked out to be amenable the
blazing pyres were extinguished and an
entrance gained.
The work Of punishment was found to
have been complete, for OF the thirty-one
Achtnese not one remained alive. The
bodies Of twenty eight, including several
women and two children. were buried in
one huge trench, and the avenging force
returned to Batavia.
