drive theiri from the country. On this occasion the Dutch commandant at
Japdra is represented«'as having« said, “ that this -application on; the part of
« the Susünan, was what the Dutch had been long -anxious for;, and that he
«» was ready to 'obëy-lîis Orders and'sacriflceJiis life in his service.’.’ . .
This- army- was -not« more- successful', than- thé former-tin- reducing.Jhe
revolted'provinces to submission ; but-by the aid of the. Dutch,;, who had
embarked à considerable force from Japdra, the Makâsar chief was driven
fifcm his;póst all thefwounded Vfere'brohght to Jctpdra. They. als;o: saved
the body of their «chief, Prtt Wira Trûna, who was killed on. thei/occasion,
and sent it to; Matdrem.
-It- appears -that the» assistance sent by •‘the 'Dutch-.) on this oçc^siçn,
consisted of four ships and ■ S&veral-Smaheftvessèls.With troops, which ®ere
midbrced 'at A^trébÿ'&e^M^tiwa»’« tfoopsànd vessels, e “ • Having arrived
to :the northward ;of MadUta, «they landed the troops, during .the night,
in -the forest, and in '-the morning sent -a present -tQ. the Makâsar chief,
requesting t his permission to take- in -fresh water, ’ ofewhieh/Ithey stoodin
èëèd,- alléging-it to be4heir intention-to depart immediately. Thlsrrequest
being grantedî ;the funs were landed, and batteries thrown up-, behind ithe
water-ca&ks.1 An attackwas then made upon thé enemy’s works, and in a
few- days the whole were 'demolished, -the chief, Krain M'QnteJuar&nr^
and mimerons pfMoner’s-taken.”
On .this iritëllîgënèe-reaching Matdrem, the Smunan assembled-allv his
family and chiefs, and directed another- attack to be made- upomthe' hostile
forcés. À third'arary was soon assembled- nt^Japdra,' w-here-ithe Dutch
wéfé ready to join them': ■ in the meantime, however, PtdmJdyU «formed* an
alliance with the MakaSars. •
The Pangéran Adipati, who wa£ appointed to a command in' this army,
had charge of the rear division, which he -had so arranged as to be, able to
act as emergënfcy might-require : but he was soonfeleâged from hisvdoubts,
for Trâna Jdya forgetting the agreement which he had entered- mto-with. this
prince, no sooner'saw himself thus -suecessfnl in the -ëastern próvinoes,. than
he- assumed the sovereignty himself, and caused himself toqbë installed,
nnrlpr the title of Prdbu 'Màduréta Senapdti Iftgaliga, and'confirmed his
alliance with thè -Makâsarsbÿ giving his daughter in marriage“tMheir. chief,
Dàin Galéngsong.
The conditions of this- alliance -are said to have been, that-Tribu* Jdya
should be placed on the throne oi-Matdrem, Dain Galéngsong appointed
chief
chief of Surabdya and Pasûnian^XDain Mandpok, chief of the eastern and
western districts od~Balamhdngun$j&adj,Sheik iCqjûran, a crafty Arab, chief
of Madura.\ 1
. After a desperate engagement,- the (forces -„ofe-Triina Jdya were again
successful. _ As a last effort, therefore, thé venerable ' Pangéran Purb&Ua,
uncle of the Sùsünan and nearly, eighty years of age, .summoned all the
chiefsi tor&flow>him, and -going ; himself - into uthe field*.©# battle, jjïerfoÿlned
extraordinary feats of [valour; till, his; • horse having • -been shot • under him,
ànd haying himself for softie time fought ;on loot, he was overp'oweredÿ. and
his scattered-forces • compelled to retreat towards Matdrem. ,
: , Trvma Jayd being •no'#?« in full possession' of Surabdya' .and .the ^eastern
districts, pursued-'his success as^fer as. Japdra. .Here, however, he was
effectually resisted by the chief, Angébdi. Wdng$a?dîpa and the Dutch, and
obliged to retreat. >.
As another division of-his army, under Udden DdfntatigWicMna,-rapidly
approached Matdrèin,',the iSusünan again .applied to the Dutch, who sent
©nevdf-ythe members of government,. A^dmirat Speelman, to assist him with
â icôn%idOràblë force byland and sea. The admiral left Bataviaiin 'December
1676' AvDij.'nrid.'rshoitfy. appeared before) CAénJow, .‘reducing-- to submission
