In Macasser, the governor received reports about only 20 people remaining. He met with the king of Goa in the early morning, pretending to just go for a horseback ride. They discussed how to capture or eliminate a certain fugitive without causing much disturbance. The governor expressed concern that working with the Bonijle chiefs would be unsuccessful and might even cause unrest throughout Celebes.
The king promised to discuss the matter with his nobles and provide a quick answer. On Wednesday the 28th, the Tanets Prince Arou Lipoe, along with Kassie and Pabitjara Daleng Paloerang, delivered a letter from the king. They reported that the Tanetterese people were afraid to work in the paddy fields near the village of Lempangang due to fears of harassment from the people of Peana T Asia, also known as Arou Pantjana's people. The governor assured them they could continue working without fear, as he had ordered Arou Pantjana to prevent any violence.
