BONI (Bone)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 206 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BONI (Bone) , a vassal state of the government of Celebes, Dutch
East
  Indies, in the
south
 -west peninsula of Celebes, on the Gulf of Boni. Area, 2600 sq. m. It produces
rice
 , tobacco, coffee,
cotton
  and sugar-cane, none of them important as ex-ports. The breeds of buffaloes and horses in this state are highly esteemed. The
chief
  town, Boni, lies 8o m. N.E. of Macassar, and 2+ M. from the
east
 
coast
  of the peninsula. The native race of Bugis (q.v.), whose number within this area is about 70,000, is one of the most interesting in the whole archipelago.
Boni was once the most powerful state of Celebes, all the other princes being regarded as vassals of its ruler, but its history is not known in detail. In 1666 the rajah Palakkah', whose father and grandfather had been murdered by the family of Hassan, the tyrant of Sumatra, made common cause with the Dutch against that despot. From that date till the beginning of the 19th century Dutch influence in the state remained undisputed. In 1814, however, Boni fell into the hands of the British, who retained it for two years; but by the European treaties concluded on the downfall of
Napoleon
  it reverted to its
original
  colonizers. Their influence, however, was resisted more than once by the natives. An expedition in 1825, under General van Geen, was not fully successful in enforcing it; and in 1858 and the following year two expeditions were necessary to oppose an attempt by the princess regent towards independence. In 1860 a new prince, owning allegiance to the Dufh, was set up. As in other native states in Celebes,
succession to the throne in the female line has precedence over the male line.
For the wars in Boni, see Perelaer, De Bonische expedition, 1859-r86o (Leiden, 1872) ; and Meyers, in the Militaire Spectator (188o).
