86 A MISSION SANCTIONED
by telegram to the Viceroy, and on April 14 the Secretary
of State, presuming that it would be necessary to include
in the scope of the negotiations with China and Tibet the
entire question of our future relations with Tibet, com-
mercial and otherwise, asked the Viceroy for his views as
to the form which these negotiations should now take,
with special reference to the means to be adopted to
insure that the conditions that might be arrived at would
be observed by Tibet.
The Viceroy on April 16 replied that he had recently
received from the delegate deputed by the Chinese Resi-
dent an intimation that if Yatung was not considered a
suitable locality, they were willing to negotiate at any
place acceptable to us. And he proposed, accordingly, to
invite the Chinese Resident to depute delegates to meet
our representative at Khamba Jong, which was the
nearest inhabited place on the Tibetan side to the frontier
in dispute near Giagong. The Viceroy proposed that our
representative, with an escort of 200 men, should proceed
to that place, while reinforcements were held in reserve in
Sikkim, and that, should the Chinese and Tibetan repre-
sentatives fail to appear, or should the former come with-
out the latter, our representative should move forward to
Shigatse or Gyantse, in order that the arrival of the
deputations from Lhasa might be accelerated.
The Secretary of State telegraphed on April 29 that
there was no objection to the Chinese, Tibetan, and
Indian representatives meeting at Khamba Jong or to the
military arrangements recommended ; but His Majesty's
Government considered that without previous reference to
them the Mission should not advance beyond that place,
as in existing conditions, even in the event of the failure
of the Chinese and Tibetan parties, any sudden advance to
Lhasa was not, :n their opinion, justified.
In regard to the subject-matter of the forthcoming
negotiations, the Viceroy telegraphed on May 7 that,
having regard to the stultification of existing treaty
provisions, and to the unsuitability of either Yatung,
Phari, or any other place in the Chumbi Valley, for a
trade-mart, in which business could be transacted directly
