Ping Shan, 23rd April, 1899.

793

Your Excellency,

The troops proceeded to Un Long yesterday and burnt the meeting house in which the brutal murder already reported by me was arranged. The inhabitants of Un Long and Ha Tsun all say that the burning of the houses on the 21st inst., and of the meeting house yesterday is a punishment richly deserved. There can be no doubt of the excellent effect produced in this neighbourhood by the steps taken immediately after having received information of the atrocious crime that had been committed.

The body of the deceased was found yesterday and buried.

Four houses have been closed at Ha Tsun and one at Un Long. The 4 houses belong to Tang I Shek, who was implicated in the murder, and the house at Un Long to Ng Fung Cheung, one of the ringleaders, who has fled.
