the corpse and gave it to his Followers, charging them, to give it proper
-burial. They were all struck with'deep grief at-the sight,- for the Adipdti

akin ahmf determinedupon vengeance, and the disturbance was not quelled
until the Smunan entered into an explanation. -He'then appointed' Jdya
Puspita to succeed provisionally to the administration of his deceased
brother, and otherwise conciliated the parties, who were- at last induced
quietly to return to Suraldya; not; however, without a determination of. one
day being revenged on the authors of this - calamity. On receiving the
appointment from ike Susunrm, vrhd&.Tdya Puspita returned; their gEateful-
ackowledgements for this mark of kindness, they as openly avowed that they
would never rest-in peace, until they had given a due return to whoeve'r Was

“ pursuance of this determination, Jdya Puspita took an early .occasion
to league with other discontented chiefs, and soon became the most -formidable
enemy to ffee tranquillity of the country..’
“ The forces of lie Susunan were completely defeated un a-pitched
battle, and the rebels made themselves masters- of several^mportant provinces
to the eastward of Pasuruan, which ■ place they alstf> besieged’until
the arrival of the Dutch auxiliaries. They were then driven beyond Porta-
rtikan; but being reinforced from Bad, soon forced* the combined-Dutch-'
and Javan troops to retreat again to Pasuruan.”
The effect of this civil war was now severely felt at Batavia. The compy
was hid waste, cultivation was neglected, and ai great'scarcitywoMridb was
felt at Batavia. This induced the Dutch to march a more ebnsidekb‘M;fd?;ce'

the country.
