368 THE A'L'TITUDE OF THE TIBETANS

reversed their former attitude of positively refusing all

direct intercourse with us.

On the opposite side of Tibet, in that part not directly

under the Lhasa Government, but inhabited by people of

the 'Tibetan race and of the Lamaist religion, matters

were, however, very different, and in the spring of 1905

serious troubles, including the massacre of both Chinese

officials and Europeans, occurred.

Around Batang for years past the Tibetans had been

very turbulent. In February, 1905, according to Chinese

accounts, a Chinese official was forcibly robbed near

Batang, and the Chinese Amban, Feng, sent a hundred

Tibetans belonging to a regiment in Chinese employ

to arrest the robbers. Thereupon great crowds from

the surrounding country assembled in the neighbour-

hood of Batang, declaring that Feng had no right to

establish his permanent residence there. Communication

by water was cut off, and on April 2 the people, in

collusion with the Lama brigands of the 'ring-Lin monas-

teries, surrounded 13atang." The Roman Catholic Mission

Chapel was burned, and subsequently Pères Mussot and

Soulié were murdered here, and four others at Litang.

'l'he Chinese general was shot in the main hall of the

Yamen, and Feng only escaped through a back gate. He

was, however, followed up and surrounded in a house to

which he had fled. He tried to escape from this also

with seventy-three men, but of these only three escaped,

and all the rest, including the Amban Feng himself, were

killed.

A French priest of the Tibetan Mission, when inform-

ing Mr. Litton, our Consul at Teng-yueh, that the revolt

appeared to be spreading to all the large lamaseries in

North-West Yunan, thus analyzed the cause of the

disorders.

For some two years past the Szechuan Government

had been endeavouring to bring Batang and the adjacent

country under the ordinary jurisdiction of the Chinese

officials, which was violently resented by the Lamas.
