120   KHAMBA JONG

signed by the Resident and the Viceroy on the ground

that it had not been signed by one of themselves.

When the Queen's Great Secretary heard of the way

they had set at naught the treaty which the Amban and

the Viceroy had signed, he was exceedingly angry, and

ordered Mr. White to go to Giagong to remove the

Tibetans who had presumed to cross the frontier which

the Amban and Viceroy had fixed. Mr. White had gone

there and removed the Tibetans, and thrown down their

guard-house, and reported to the Viceroy what he had

whatever of annexing their country, and it was possible,

indeed, that he might make concessions in regard to the

lands near Giagong, if in the coming negotiations they

showed themselves reasonable in regard to trade. But I

warned them that, after the way in which they had broken

and repudiated the old treaty, concluded in their interests

by the Amban at the close of a war in which they were

defeated, they must expect that he would demand from

them some assurance that they would faithfully observe

any new settlement which might be made.

" You come and travel and trade in India just as you

please," I said.   You go where you like, and stay there

as long as you like. But if any one from India wishes to
