Summary (also from the next page)

In the early days of Dutch colonial rule, officials wrote about developments in several areas in what is now Indonesia. A sergeant was ordered to plant coconut trees and raise cattle in Ternate Timor. The president was planning to inspect a stone fortress there, but had been ill in bed for 5 months. On July 11, a citizen named Barent Steenhof arrived from Timor with a letter from Fort Concordia dated June 8. Several ships arrived between May and July, bringing four letters from President Maximiliaan de Jong. The garrison at Fort Concordia was doing well, though Captain Lieutenant Jacob Pietersz van de Carper had died on November 25. He was replaced by merchant Jacobus Lijdema. Many servicemen were sick and some had died. A rebellion on Roti island was successfully put down. In Macassar, King Palacca, a Dutch ally, captured the capital city of Tosorra in Toadjo on December 1 after a long siege. On December 23, the conquered kings appeared at Fort Rotterdam to surrender their weapons to the president. They accepted the treaties previously made with the kings of Tello, Goa and Sadrabona. The defeated rulers were fined 52,000 rijksdaalders (104,000 mas) to cover Dutch expenses. They paid 7,800 mas in gold, cash and slaves. The Raja of Tello left for Bima against everyone's wishes with his wife (the Biman king's daughter) and most of his subjects, leaving Tello nearly deserted. The Dutch withdrew their troops from there. Reports suggested the Raja wasn't well received in Bima, with the king there not even standing to greet him.
