Washington, ID. c., oct. 19.-For
more than year negotiations have
been i'm progress between emma ana

the dependencies of the city of Macao,

eral Machado, the Portuguese delegate

pute. failed entirely i'm his mission,
and shortly afterward the Pekin gov
eminent refused absolutely to enter
tain Portugal's proposals fer arbitra-
ton.
China holds that all the dependen-
cies of the city of Macao have been oc-
|cupied illegally by the Portuguese and
that the only concession ever made was
to the town of Macao. II insists that
the rest of the territory DE evacuated
by Portugal.
Macao was settled by Portuguese
about the middle of the sixteenth CEN
fury and the city was subsequently
coded to Portugal by China. The Por-
tuguese gradually extended their rule
to the whole island and to the ada
cent isiets of Taipa and Coloane. They
divided the city into two wards, one
inhabited 10y Chinese and the other by
non Chinese. each being its own ad-
ministrator.
| With the advent of Hong Kong as
British colony the commercial prom
inence of Macao departed. To compete
with Hong Kong, Macao introduced a
free trade policy and by doing away
with the custom house abolished her
chief source of revenue. Her falling
revenue goaded the Macao population
