'have always possessed great influence in the i7es tern pit Of that district. Whatever the real object or expectations of the leaders of these deluded people may have been, it is clearly - asceriained that not a single chief 'of rank above the head of a village joined them, or appeared in any manner to give theta support or countenance. " By the time they arrived at Lobenar, a 'village situated on the banks of the Chimanook, - seven palls from Indramayo, the party amounted to about 900 men, which number it never ea deeded. It is a fact well worthy of notice, that 'in the course •of a desultoiy march of near fifty palls, from Chasam to Lobettar, not an instance is known 'to have occurred of property of any kiwi having been itijuretWand although they re mained stationary at Lobenar for many days, miuriug which the -ice, paddy, cattle, and other property of Mr. Muntsinghe was most tempting. ly in their way under she 'charge only of a few slaves, not a single. article was touched, nor a hu man being molested. • " Preparations were now in forwardness by the resitlents of the Prianger Regencies and Clic ribou-to attack the insurgents, if they . may b e so called, and It was carried-into execution at Lobe -•' tar on the 20th of December. Previous to this, ;„. Avowever, they bad beep attacked more than once by the assistant. resident al Indramayo, or under ills orders, but he wavrepulsed, and on one occa - lion, I understaruf;Mith.ll4 loss of either four or six European sobilers,.. " 1 cannot pretend, nor-is it . necessary for me; - to descrihe the operalions of,Mr.Matinan (the Mitch resident) on the 20th ;- but, as lain in formed, his arrangements, however long delayed; doubtless from unavoidable causes - , seem to have _ been judicious and perfectly adequate to time ob. ject in view . : and his conduct, as well as that of his head assistant, Mr. Van de Poel, during the '. contest, is represented on all sides as meriting praise for con - rake 'end humanity. " Is 'estiinated 'that 100 of the insurgents fel; • in the engagement, and 594 were made prisoners, Keysa, the Petingee who first commenced the in surrection, was observed to be very actively en couraging his men to repel Mr. Motman's attack, - and this man will found among the killed. " When the prisoners were disarmed, Mr. Morn en delivered them over to the military, -in Order that, they might be sechrely guarded to lir dramayn. On their arrival there, they were all pot into a coffee storehouse within .the fort, and "time storehouse was surrounded by sentinels. In time course of the night it is 'slated that an -attempt was made ; on the part of the prisoners, to escape 1 ,„ from confinement,—.the soldiers on _guard fired upon them, amid, horrible to relate, it ended in the :massacre of about 300 souls, In cold blood, by the military, under the orders and in the presence of their own officers! . . " Mr. Motman, lam told, did all that was in his _power to stop this dreadful sacrifice of human • blood, but 'Without effect : no attention seeins to :bave been paid to his representations, and he was obliged to submit; as he himself - declares, otitis feelings not to be described, to the spectacle of an unarmed multitude of poor Misled 'creatures whom be had vanquished and made prisoners in the Morning, massacred by their. own guards; coin ..Thanded by two officers, one biaring- his Nether. land Majesty's ceammissloo of Captain, and the other of Lieutenant, under the weak, Inconceiv . able, and inhuman pketext, that they could not be other Wise responsible for the 'security of the prisoners, or for their owirsafety, -as the prisoners intended to run "Aniook !" Will it be credited that antrinber of unarmed Wretches, confined in a secure teak-wood building imithin a fort, should ever thliik of attacking a ,luilitary force surrounding them As guards, and to whom they bad but a few -hours before surren dered themselves as prisoners, -while they had yet aims in their hands ?—He Mint be credulous in deed who can bring his mind to believe this I.— If ever the truth comes to light, it will then, I air convinced, be found that ar effort to give themselves hest) air, quite natural to so large a bedy of ,thett confined in a building of comps= natively stro t jl dimensions, the doors and windows of which were fib doubt closed for security, was, by the phsilldtiitnity, if not the cruelty ) o f t h e i r COnsidered as an ,attempt to escape,— and the- scene of blood once begun, th e - pHs/i -nert apprehending *hat was tO- follow, made such resistance as they had in their power, in the vain hope of saving their lives. " r But let this be as it may, those who re mained alive from the massacre Were embarked in coffee prows, and ditpatelied up the river to Canony Sambong,—and while on the river, the second act of time tragedy took place. An at tempt is said to have been again- made by the prisoners to escape, add bn this occasion many More were sent tO the other world to join their companicins in misfortune.. Indeed soimisatiable tweets to have been the, thirst for Javanese blood, that of 594 taken prisoners by Mr, Mot. man -on clay of the engagement, but 113 arrived at this place, where they are now in con - finettent ! " Many of these men have been examined beg. the Commission appointed by his Nether land Majesty's Government, to investigate the cause of the late insurrection ; and as far as I can learn, they agree in 3tatings that their only object was to go to Indramayo, and lay their grievances before the Landrost. In generals their conylaints are a;. , ,ainst the Kapala Chootacks and w h er na ti v e chiefs in immediate authority over them ;=—and this affords an obvious excuse for their assembling in a body td complain to th e En ropean local authority ;—which I believe in my soul was the only o bject the lowe r c l ass had in view, whatever plans of a ?bore extended or dan-' - germ's nature' may have actuated Keysg and other of their leaders.
