112 SIMLA TO KHAMBA JONG
to him the contents of the Resident's reply to the Viceroy,
and made a request, which was politely declined, that the
British Commissioner should remain at Giri in preference
to proceeding to Khamba Jong. In this despatch the
Chinese Resident informed the Viceroy that he had again
deputed Mr. Ho, in conjunction with Captain Parr, the
Customs Commissioner at Yatung, who, he said, were
truly of equal rank to the Commissioner deputed by the
Viceroy, to discuss all matters in a friendly manner. He
further said that the Dalai Lama had deputed his Chief
Secretary and a Depon (General) of Lhasa to negotiate
in conjunction with the Chinese Commissioners. But the
Resident understood, he said, that Khamba Jong was in
Tibetan territory, and therefore the meeting could only
be at the boundary near the grazing-grounds fixed by the
Convention of 1890. The Resident contended, that is to
say, that though the Tibetans had for thirteen years with
armed men occupied territory on our side of the frontier
laid down by the Convention, we were not even to meet
temporarily for discussion on the Tibetan side of the same
frontier.
On July 7 Mr. White, with his escort, marched to
Khamba Jong, and encamped on a small stream not far
from the Jong, or fort, which was an imposing building
on the summit of a lofty crag some hundreds of feet above
the plain. Mr. Ho wrote to Mr. White saying that he
had instructed the Khamba Jongpen to provide him with
supplies, and that he himself, accompanied by the two
Lhasa officials, would arrive there on the following day.
A letter of thanks was sent, and on the strength of
Mr. Ho's letter Mr. White wrote to the Tibetan Jongpen
asking him to supply some grass ; but the letter was
returned unopened, with a somewhat unceremonious
verbal message.
Major Bretherton, the energetic supply and transport
officer, who had come up from Sikkim to arrange supply
matters, on the following day found a rich and fertile
valley some three or four miles from Khamba Jong, where
grazing was abundant, and where barley crops were raised
and sheep and cattle reared.
