A news dispatch from :
Resist Tax; Are Killed.
Forty Natives of Padany Sumatra Fell Before Soldiers.
Amsterdam, . — The natives of Panay Sumatra have refused to pay the new tax levied upon them and are resisting every effort of the government to force collection. Today they fought a battle with the troops and forty natives and three soldiers were killed.
This is a little hard for me to decipher, in part because of the two spellings of the location. There is a city called Padang in Sumatra, and there is also an island called Panay in the Philippines. Both areas were, I believe, part of the “Dutch East Indies” at the time.
