ACHEEN. The Sultan’s Minister Sketches the Country. PROBABILITIES OF THE WAR. Chances for the Dutch Conquest of Acheen. ‘Impenetrable Jungles and Marshes Ale with Alligators—A Mohammedan Chief Defy- ing a Christian Power—He Will Fight It Out if It Takes His Last Man. The Dutch expedition against the Acheenese on the Island of Sumatra has excited a great deal of interest in this country. Cable advices have already informed the readers of the HERALD that the Duten forces have sustained serious losses, and retired from Acheenese territory to Padang, a Dutch trading settlement on the west coast of Sumatra, in the Menankabau country. The Minister of the Colonies of the Dutch government informed the Chamber of Deputies at the Hague, on the 22d inst., that their losses were seven officers and thirty-eight men killed, and thirty-five officers and 383 men wounded. There are indications of a pro- Jonged and bloody war, which will probably lay ‘Waste one of the fairest portions of the earth. The Sultan of Acheen is one of the boldest and bravest sovereigns of the East, and this war will probably be “a war to the knife.” A HERALD re- porter discovered yesterday a gentleman of this city who knows the Sultan intimately, having been his Chief Connsellor—in‘fact, PRIME MINISTER OF ACHEEN, ata time when that State was mueh more power- fu) than it is now. Captain Celso Cesare Moreno was tn the Service of the present Sultan from 1859 to 1862, and already at that time Sultan Siri had determined to expel the Dutch from Sumatra, “if it shenid take his last man and the last drop in his body.” Captain Moreno gave the reporter some valuable information in regard to the country, the people, their manners and customs, the Sultan and the commander of the Acheenese army and other subjects of interest. REPORTER—Will you be kind enough, Captain, to give me a description of Sumatra, as you saw it in your travels? Captain MorENo—I think Sumatra, in the group of the Malay Isiands, is much more important and richer than Cuba, in the Antilles. Holland has three stations on the west coast; but the interior ia dependent on native rajahs. The principal rajab resides in Acheen, Siri Sultan, Alaidin Sar- Gar Manshoer Scander Shaa. The rajahs of Delhi and Siak, in the eastern part of the island, are tributary te him. The articles of export are pep- per, gold dust, copper ore, sulphur, camphor, in the Borth; nutmegs, cloves and mace, in the Dutch province of Bencoolen; and coral, benzoin, gutta Percha and tin, in Palembang and Menankabau. The vegetation in some parts of the courtry is per- Sectly magnificent, and you might truly call it THE GARDEN OF ASIA, Nutmeg trees, mangosteen, cocoa, pepper, cloves, durian—in all my travels over Asia I have never encountered such splendid panoramas of trees, From what I have seen I am also firmly convinced ef the existence of gold and other mines in Sumatra. REPORTER—Could you describe Acheen and the Acheenese? Captain MoRENo—Well, Acheen is a fortified town near the northwestern extremity of Sumatra, on the River Acheen, near the sea. It was buiit by Turkish officers, who were sent there by Sultan Makmoud, ef Turkey. The State, after which the capital isnamed, has a population of from three hundred and fifty to four hundred thousand in- habitants, Of course the Sultan has no regular army. The soldiers of Acheen are mostly Sidibuys, from the coast of the Red Sea, especially frem Aden. ‘They probably do net number one thousand men, They are generally used as a body-guard of the Sultan, and are all armed with muskets. In times of war they are the recruiting oMicers for the na- tives, the Malays. Rerorter—Has the Sultan funds suficient to carry on a prolonged wart MorENO—He is @man of immense wealth. His ancestors had, centuries ago, a large trade with the southern coast of India and left him a magnificent fortune. The form of government is absolute and 4nexpensive, and his riches have aecumulated from year to year until he has become ONE OP THE WEALTAIEST SULTANS of the East. REPORTER—What is the mode of warfare of the Malays? MoRENO—They always take advantage of the Marshy condition of the soil and of the impene- trable forests, which conceal their operations from the enemy. They carry on a sort of guerilla war. Every man in the ceuntry is armeu with a kreest, or knife, with a serpentine blade, the handle made of gola and mounted with precious stones, @ sword and a peculiar kind of gun loaded with grape shot. REPORTER—Will the Dutch troops not suffer from the climate ? Captain MorENo—Yes, the sun will undoubtedly be the greatest, the most dangereus enemy of the Dutch troops. There will be vast swamps to cross before they can reach Acheen. The Acheenese are @ fine race ef men—bold and brave. They all be- HMeve that each was born with his destiny, and this consciousness makes them braver still. And then they will be aided by the sickness inthe ranks of the enemy. REProRTER—What sort of a man is the Rajah Siri, the Sultan of Acheen ? Captain MorzNo—He is a mar of fifty-three years, @bout five feet six inches tall, very white for a Malay—he has Arabic*blood in his veins—with an dntelligent face, prominent nose for a man be- longing to a nation ef fat-noses, and wears, of course, A RING IN HIS NOSE as wellas in his ears. These rings sparkle with Precious rabtes. Around the neck he wears a gor- g@eous necklace, He believes in polygamy, of course, and has several hundred wives (jocosely— I never counted them, for I think it would be Father diMcuit to count them). He bas frequently conversed with me about his lofty position among the princes of the East. He thinks he is the great- est dovereign of the world, The Queen of England and the Emperer of Germany, he thinks, are nothing as comparea to him. He ws his country is the tomb of Adam and Eve, and that he ‘was enjoined by the prophet Mohammed to be the guardian ef this tomb. He has two sons; the elder, Toncoo Abdraman, ts a very imtelligent young man for a Malay, very brave and the most bitter enemy of the Dutch, but the younger, Toncoo Ab- allah, is a regular lazy Malay in the worst sense of the word. RerorTeR—Who are the chief commanders of the Acheenese ? Captain MorENo—When I was there they were Mahomet Ali, of Muscat; Seike Abdallah, of Aden; Seike Ali, of Madras, Malabar; Sharvardar Suttan, of Karical; Seike Abou Baker, of Delhi, India; Patan Miteen, of Lucknow. Ali these had held com- missions im the British service in India as Zubal ‘ dare, the highest rank to which a native can aspire in the British service, They have large mumbers of CANNON OF GREAT SIZB and pure metal. ReEPoRTER—What are the principal articles of the trade of Acheen ? Captain MORENO—Spices and tin, They are shipped from the west ceast of Sumatra te Penang, @ British settlement in the Strait of Malacca. The trade is carried on by small schooners, manned by Chinese and Malays. They bring from Penang a sort of capra, which 1s the only garment the Acheenese wear, except a sert of kerchiel they ‘wear over the head. RerorTeR—What is the extent of the Sultan's Possessions? Captain MORENO—From the Eougtor tg § de- grecs north, and from 90 to 102 degrees longitude. ‘The Sultan claims all the territory to the Straits of Sunda, however, which is under the contro) of the Duteh. REPoRTER—Do yeu think the Dutch will conquer Acheen ¢ Captain MoRENO—I think !t’s very doubtful. The obstacies which the Dutch troops will have to sur- mount are enormous. There are impenetrable jungles and swamps that are alive with alligators, and at high tide the water in those districts near the seashore 18 ten feet high. But, high tide or no high tide, you always wade there kneedeep in mud, Then the Dutch will also suffer from dysen- tery and FROM TERRIBLE SUNSTROKES, not much from fever, REPORTER—What is the numerical strength of the Dutch troops ¢ Captain MORENO—Oh, probably not over 4,000 or 5,000 men, If they get natives they might bring their number up to 10,000. I do not think that they can hold Acheen. They may take it, but I don’t think they can hold it; and, besides, it would not pay them to hold it, The great dificulty is that the Dutch cannot bring their gunboats to Acheen, and you cannot successfully fight one of those na- tions without gunboats. This Sultan Siri has the moral support, the sympathies, of the whole Mo- hammedan race. Then there is another Important point. From March tili October the Dutch will not be able to operate on the west coast en account of the terrific monsoons of the Southwest, RerorTer—The Sultan, of course, does not believe that he can be vanquished. Captain MorgNO—Ob, no; he thinks he is invinct- ble. He determined to expel the Dutch as early as 1859, when many of the cmeis of the Mussulman fatth left East India after the war of the rebellion and went AS POLITICAL REFUGEES TO ACHEEN, which was regarded as a kind of politi- cal Mecca. I, coming from the Indian rebel- tion in 1859, was received with great con- sideration, and the Sultan entrusted me with a mission to the Italian governmeat. I was to propose to the Itahan government that it should take possession of the districts between Acheen and the Dutch voundaries—where the prin- cipal pepper plantatiens are—and use its influence to prevent the Dutch from encroaching any further on the Acheenese pessessions. As the Sultan and his counsellers all knew that the Dutch intended to conquer the whole island, this plan seemed to be the best that could be adepted., The Sultan showed mne at that time important letters from various Eu- ropean governments, among them one of Louis Philippe and ene of Napoleon Ill, in which both sovereigns positively declined to give him any aid. REPORTER—I believe you have already stated that Acheen 1s a fortified city? Captain MorENo—Yes, sir. The walls, which are three yards deep, and the rampart, which is about five yards deep, were constructed during the reign of Sultan Makmoud of Turkey, who sent officers to Acheen who did this work, The guns that are planted on the walls are large, but they ARE NOW IN A DEPLORABLE CONDITION. Acheen, you know, is on the left bank ofthe Achcen River, which runs from southeast to northwest, and flows inte the sea at a peint about twenty miles below the capital, just in front of Pulo Way. REPORTER—Is the river navigable ? Captain MorENO—Only by small Malays boats. The source of the Acheen River is at the foot of the Ttam Gebe! (Black Mountain), filteen miles south- east of Acheen city. I may add, in regard to the kingdom of Acheen, that 1s the strongest and largest in the Island of Sumatra. All the Rajahs of the Malays race residing in the neighboring islands, as well as tirose on the peninsula ef Malacca, entertain this opinion, Prior to the English and Dutch conquests of Palumban, Bancoleem, Padang and Pulo Nias the kingdom of Acheen extended from five degrees north to five degrees south, from Pulo Way in the northwest, to the Straights of Sounda, in the southeast. In the east it extended to the seacoast, toward the Straits of Malacca and to the kingdom of the Delhi Malays. In the interior it extended to the Orang-Orang Battax, inhabitants of the moun- tains, my PROFESSING THE BUDDHIST FAITH. They are the descendants of a Burmese tribe, who came from the Malay Peninsula when the King of Siam and the Emperor of Burmah were at war. ReEPORTER—This tribe settled in the interior of Sumatra? Captain MorENO—Yes, sir, and ever since there has been a@ perpetual religious war between the Malays, who profess Islamism, and this new tribe, whe profess Buddhism. They never held any friendly intercourse. The Burmese are peaceful enough, but the Malays are too belligerent. The inhavitants of Acheen are, like all those na- tions, bitter enemies of all who do not profess Islamism. REPORTER—How Is the government administered ? Captain MoRENO—The State is divided into six provinces—Acheen, Barret, Analaboo, Pedir, Potoo, Samalanka. Each capital is on the bank of a little river. Each province 1s governed by a Rajah, but all of them recognize the Sultan of Acheen as their supreme ruler. REPORTER—Could you describe the palace of the Sultan ? Captain MoRENO—The palace Bagnaa Roomah, where the Sultan resides, is built of bamboo, It is two stories high, and contains about ten large rooms. The floors are COVERED WITH CLEAN AND HANDSOME MATS, made by the natives themselves of wild ‘“vegeta- ble” silk. The roof is covered with straw from the rice. Around the large palace are twenty-five smaller palaces, which are occupied by his wives, his sons and the members of the government. The Sultan has frequently told me his palace was the most magnificent thing of the kind in the world, He asked me once if any king had 4 palace that was as handsome as his. I tola him readily that his (the Sultan’s) palace would be used by any of my countrymen fer the chickens to roost in. RerorTEk—Is the Sultan the chief of the Church as weil as of the State ? Captain MorENo—Yes, sir. His Ministry is com- posed of a Visir, Mohamet Shaa Toncoo of Marras, Under him are three ministers, Sheik Abdullah Toncoo of Compound Java, Sultan Shaa Shawan- dar of Acheen, and Ackmet Shaa Laby Toncoo of Pedir. By the way, in regard to the Acheenese army, I may add that the Sidibuys are brave and good soldiers, An order given to them by a Mus- sulman chief THEY LOOK UPON AS SACRE just as though the Prophet Mohammed him- self had given it. They will serve as a nucleus for the Acheenese army which will have to be organized. The number of the Sidifuys while Iwas there was about feur hundred. In case of necessity the Sultan cowld organize an army of 10,000 men, moregr less well armed with old-fash- 1oned muskets of @ peculiar shape. The blades of their swords which they use in war are poisoned. The Malays are terrible enemies when they run @-muck. The Dutch have had some terribie expe- Tiences with them, A BIGHTEOUS REQUITAL, One of the Rescued from the Steamer Atlantic Contributes $100 as the Initia- a Fund for the Reward of the of the Fatal We have to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. Jugla’s check for $100, enclosed in the following letter, for the benefit of the humane and self-sacri- ficing fishermen of Mars and Lower Prospect islands, who so kindly received the rescued from the steamer Atlantic:— - New York, May 14, 1873, To THE EpiTor oF THE HRRALD:— i Iwas @ passenger on board the {ll-fated steam- ship Atlantic, Ihave just recovered, and my first thought is for the kind inhabitants of Mars and Lower ipect isiands, They gave us all their provisions, parted with all their clothes.

The particulars have been already reported in the Henaup, It is understood that eight of the jurors stood for the plaintiff and four for the govern- ment. The amount involved was about $75,000. Jndge Blatchford decided yesterday in the case of Al- bert Smith, assignee in bankruptey, vs. Crawford, that an assignee in bankruptcy has a right of action to sue for a been contracted two years prior to the filing of the peti, tion in bankruptey. In the case of Edward 8. Stokes, the Clerk of the Court of Appeals yesterday signed the writ issued by Judge Brady for the stay of proceedings. This will bring the case immediately before the Coupt, and ast only requires fourteen days’ notice under the rules of the Court to bring a case on for hearing, this important case will no doubt be heard and decided before the Court takes its usual recess in June. THE BELGIAN MURDER. The Case of Carl Vogt, Charged with the Murder of Chevalier Bianco—Com- mencement of the Examination Before Commissioner White—Testimony for the Prosecution. Yesterday the case of Canl Vogt, alias Joseph Stupp, a Prussian subject, who is charged with the murder and robbery of the Chevalier Bois de Bianco in the month of October, 1871, at Brussels, Belgium, was brought on be- ore Commissioner White, when evidence for the prose- cution was adduced. Ex-Governor Salomons appeared for the German gov- ernment, and the prisoner was aiso represented by counsel. Counsel for the prosecution offered in evidence the mandate issued by the Department of State in this case. He also offered in evidence a voluminous mass of depo. sitions taken in Belgium in reterence to this charge. Counse) for the defence objected to the admission of the depositions on the ground that there was no evidence that the consular officer certifying to the same is resident inthe country from which thé accused party came. The objection was overruled and ex The admission of the d objected to, for her reason that they ae have been certified Minister at Berfn, instead of the Charge Objection overruled and exception taken. ‘The correctness of the translations of the depositions put in evidence was deposed to by Rudolph Dulon. Ex-Governor Solomons then detailed the whole case to the Commissioner, stating the facts and circumstances pretty much the same as they were developed when this Matter was in the State Courts, and fully reported at the time in the Henaup. He reviewed the life of the pris- oner, observing that he had married a young woman who lived on the estate of the Count, near Cologne, in Prussia; that he had become a tenant on estate, and that had, alter following, the career of a spetidihritt, been ejected from his holding for non-payment of rent. The prisoner had acquired some fortune with his wite, but this he disst even to gain access to the Count’s house. At this tine the prisoner was in very poor circumstances, being un- able to pay his board bill. October, 1571, the Count wi his body being considerably burned. His safe was robbed of bonds to the amount of about five hundred thousand francs, and at about that time the ed, under an assumed name, with a mistress, to thence to the United States, Among other state made by counsel was one to the efect that one of the bonds stolen from the Count had been deposited with Duncan, Sherman & Co., of this city, who sentit to Brussels for payment. The authorities there seized the bond, and, upon making inquiries respecting it, learned that it had come into the possession of Messrs. Duncan, Sherman & Co. from a person who had received it in ® Broadway saloon from the prisoner. After ably adverting to other features of the case Mr. Salomon’concluded his states ment and proceeded to read the depositions, beginning with those relating to the medical examination wi had been made of the Count’s body after its disinte ment, for it was not until after hix burial that any si Picton of foul arose. Counsel having read a con- pla a. Kiderable portion of the depositions, the iurther hearing of the case was adjourned. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. Criminal Trials, Judge Benedict sat in the United States Circuit Court yesterday, and proceeded with the criminal business. The Judge announced that he would on Monday next hear such motions as counsel might make in the follow- ing cases Charles Callender, indicted for receiving a bribe as a national bank examiner; William H.

Taintor, who fs in dicted for embezzling $400,000, the property of the At- lantic Bank, Mr. Bliss, United States District Attorney, sald he wished to try this as one of the tirst of the long cases that Would occupy the attention of the Court, He desired to | set it down for Thursday next. Mr. Sherwood, counsel for Taintor, expressed a hope that the District Attorney wouid not ‘pass on the case so early a period. The indictment had been found only on the previous day, and he therefore asked t sufficient time to examine it. Judge Benedict told counsel that he might mention the case again on Monday, when he (counsel) could either | ask to have the indictment quashed or make a motion for the setting down of the trial upon a particular day. THE WAULRILL BANK DRFALCATION, nator William M.

CONVICTION FOR PRRIURY—“sTRAW Ratt.” A jury having been sworn, Charles Hydt, alias John Schoener, was put upon his trial for having, as a'leged, committed perjury by swearing before Commissioner Shields that he was the owner of certain real estate, in order to qnalify himselt ag a surety upon a Lond. when in reality, he did not own the real estate in question—in other words, that he “went straw bail.” The jury, with- out leaving their seats, and after a few moments’ consul- tation. convicted the prisoner, who was remanded tor sente to jurors, adino that they had sworn that they had no coriscientions criiples about finding a verdict of guiity where death was the penalty were calculated to prejudice the prisoner and to operate to procure an unfavorable verdict, He further contended that the ver | dict w riv against the weightot the evidence, A very strong point. and one most eloquently urged, was thai the diftculty irrad through Murphy seeking to prevent his brother from drinking. ‘The summary of bis argument was that if this was not a case of self-defence it stainly Wasno more than manslaughter in the third | deliberatio: ined for the prosecution, whose testimony showed that the quarrel was cominenced by the deceased, that he the first blow, but that the prigoner struck with the ice pitcher, which he took from the co Testimony for the aceused depended simply upo Good! character, to which several witnesses testified.

The defence was that he Was not on the roof at the time. The jury returned a ver- dictof manslaughter in the first degree. The prisoner was remanded for sentence, at the request ot Mr. Howe, his counse!, to enable examination of witness who caine in after the evidence had been submitted on the subject of the alibi, THE ASSISTANT ALDERMAN BRIBERY CASE. Mr. Howe moved for a speedy trial in the case of Ed- ward Costello, who is jointly indicted with Isaac Kobin- son for bribery. He states that the accused, who ts an ex-Assistant Alderiman, is about to leave for Ireland on ines, and if the case could not be tried immediately he asked that it putover antil October. Judge Davis suggested that unless the case be tried next week it be utover until October. The matter was referred to Mr, ‘helps, the District Attorney. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. a os SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM. The Killing of David Barry by David Murphy. On the 17th of April, last year, as will be remembered, David Murphy shot and killed David Barry at the liquor saloon of Patrick Ryan, corner of Sixtieth street and Sec- ond avenue; or rather the shooting took place in front of the saloon, the diMculty trom which the shooting oc- curred having originated in the saloon, He was tried in the succeeding June before Recorder Hackett, in the Court of General sessions, convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hung of August.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. A Conviction and an Acquittal, Before Judge Sutherland. Yesterday Assistant District Attorney Lyons repre- sented the people in this Court.
