| − | '''Expedition of 1895-96''': The continued misconduct of the Sana Kachins from beyond the administrative border rendered punitive measures necessary. They had remained unpunished since the attack on Myitkyina in December 1892. Two columns were sent up, one of 250 rifles from Myitkyina, the other of 200 rifles from Mogaung, marching in December 1895. The resistance was insignificant, and the operations were completely successful.<br>[http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Kachin_Hills Extract from 1911 Encyclopedia]
