MALABON , a See also:town of the See also:province of Rizal, Luzon, Philippine finally into the hands of See also:Great See also:Britain, being exchanged by a Islands, , m. inland from the See also:shore of See also:Manila See also:Bay and 3 M. N. r treaty with See also:- HOLLAND

Holland for the See also:East See also:India See also:Company's See also:settlement of the See also:city of Manila, with which it is connected by an electric I of Benkulen and a few other unimportant places on the western
See also:coast of See also:Sumatra. By this treaty the Dutch were precluded from interference in the affairs of the See also:Malay See also:Peninsula, and Great Britain from similar See also:action in regard to the States of Sumatra, with the See also:sole exception of See also:Achin, the right to protect that See also:state being maintained by Great Britain until 1872 when it was finally abandoned by a treaty concluded with Holland in that See also:year. The Dutch took See also:advantage of this immediately to invade Achin, and the strife begun in 1873 still continues and is now a See also:mere See also:war of extermination. It was not until 1833 that the whole territory lying at the back of Malacca was finally brought under See also:British See also:control, and as See also:late as 1887 the See also:Negri Sembilan, or Nine States, which adjoin Malacca territory on the east and See also:north-east, were completely See also:independent. They to-See also:day See also:form See also:part of the Federated Malay States, which are under the See also:protection of Great Britain, and are governed with the assistance and by the See also:advice of British See also:officers.
Malacca, in See also:common with the See also:rest of the Straits Settlements, was administered by the See also:government of India until 1867, when it became a See also:crown See also:colony under the control of the Colonial See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
Office. It is to-day administered by a See also:resident councillor, who is responsible to the See also:governor of the Straits Settlements, and by a number of See also:district officers and other officials under his direction. The See also:population of the town and territory of Malacca in 1901 was 94,487, of whom 74 were Europeans and Americans, 1598 were Eurasians, the rest being Asiatics (chiefly See also:Malays with a considerable sprinkling of See also:Chinese). The population in 1891 was 92,170, and the estimated population for 1905 was 97,000. The See also:birth-See also:rate is about 35 per thousand, and the See also:death-rate about 29 per thousand. The See also:trade of this once flourishing See also:port has declined, most of the vessels being merely See also:coasting See also:craft, and no large See also:line of steamers holding any communication with the See also:place. This is due partly to the shallowness of the See also:harbour, and partly to the fact that the ports,of See also:Penang and See also:Singapore, at either entrance to the straits, draw all the trade and See also:shipping to themselves. The See also:total See also:area of the settlement is about 700 sq. m. The colony is wholly agricultural, and the See also:land is almost entirely in the hands of the natives. About 50,000 acres are under See also:tapioca, and about 9000 acres are under See also:rubber (hevea). This cultivation is rapidly extending. There are still considerable areas unoccupied which are suitable for rubber and for coco-nuts. The settlement is well opened, up by roads; and a railway, which is part of the Federated Malay States railway See also:system, has been constructed from the town of Malacca to Tampin in the Negri Sembilan. There is a See also:good rest-See also:house at Malacca and a comfortable seaside See also:bungalow at Tanjong Kling, seven See also:miles from the town. Malacca is 118 m. by See also:sea from Singapore and 5o m. by See also:rail from Seremban, the See also:capital of the Negri Sembilan. There is excellent See also:snipe-See also:shooting to be had in the vicinity of Malacca.
