CHINESE ACTION 371
with some 400 or 500, troops, who had been looting every-
where, which was hardly surprising when, according to a
French priest living in the district, he received neither men
nor money from his Government in spite of his warnings
of the growing seriousness of the situation. Mr. Litton
observed, further, that this was the third serious rebellion
which had occurred in Yunan during the three years of
Viceroy Ting's tenure of office, and that none of these
rebellions would have occurred if the most ordinary
efficiency and honesty had been exercised. Viceroy Ting's
government, he said, was a calamity to his own people and
a nuisance to his neighbours.
Only three days after he wrote this he received a report
that Mr. Forrest, together with Pères Dubernard and
Bourdonné, had been murdered.
The Chinese, in face of these occurrences, now took
strong measures to put down the insurrection. Chao Erh-

and that . the Chinese Commander was then at Batting

again broken out in Batang, that Chao's position was
critical, and reinforcements were being hurriedly de-
spatched from Chengtu in response to an urgent demand
for them which he had addressed to the Viceroy. But
he eventually established his position there, and, as will
be related below, converted it from a self-ruling State into
a Chinese district.
In January, 1906, Chao set off with some 2,000 foreign-
drilled troops, equipped with rifles of German pattern and
four field-guns, for Hsiang Cheng, a lamasery at one time
the home of over 2,000 Lamas. It is situated about a
week's journey south-east of Batang on a high plateau
surrounded by mountains, and the territory under its
