TIBETANS EXPELLED ACROSS BORDER 71

lacking, were not for the time in favour of such a proposal.

And another alternative of stopping all Tibetan trade they

thought would be hard on our own traders, and might

drive trade permanently away to Nepal and Bhutan. They

accordingly adopted the above-mentioned course.

Mr. White went to Giagong on June 26, 1902, with

200 men, and camped half a mile from the Tibetan wall,

where the Khamba Jongpen and 40 men were stationed.

He gave them twenty-four hours' notice in which to move

to the other side of the boundary. On the following

morning, after some protests, the 'Tibetans removed across

the boundary. On July 4 a number of Tibetan officials

visited him, and said they had come under instructions

from the 'Tashi Lama to show him the Giagong boundary.

Mr. White told them that his orders were to lay down

the boundary as shown in the Convention of 1890, which

had been signed by the Chinese Amban on behalf of

the Tibetans. To which they replied that they had

heard of the treaty, but that it was invalid, as it had not

been signed by any 'Tibetan. The 'Tibetans, however,

asked for a copy of the treaty and for the names of the

passes, and Mr. White told them they could see for

themselves if the water ran into the Sikkim Valley or into

Tibet, and where the water parted into Sikkim and Tibet

was the boundary. He found on the tract 6,270 sheep,

737 yaks, out of which only 1,143 sheep and 80 yaks

belonged to the Sikkimese, and the remainder were

Tibetan. Near the top of the Naku La he found a

Tibetan wall running across the valley, with a blockhouse

on the east.

The immediate consequence of this action was, that at

the end of July the Viceroy received a letter from the

Chinese Resident at Lhasa, asking for an explanation

of the object and reasons of Mr. White's proceedings, and

saying that he had appointed Mr. Ho Kuang-Hsi to

proceed to Giagong, and had further arranged with the

Dalai Lama for the despatch of a Tibetan official to act

conjointly with Mr. Ho in any discussion with Mr. White

which should arise.

The Viceroy, in reply, wrote to say that the object
