acknowledged by even the Chinese to be weak and incom-
petent, and his Associate Resident had been allowed to
resign some months back. The new Amban, though
appointed in December, was only .just leaving Chengtu,
and could not reach the frontier till January. The new
Associate Resident had been given sick-leave before even
joining his post. Mr. Ho, though I had given him the

The unsatisfactory nature of the situation had in the

our Minister at Peking, on September 25 presented a note
to the Chinese Government, stating that, in spite of the
Dalai Lama having agreed that negotiations should take
place at Khamba Jong, the Tibetan representatives had
refused to negotiate there ; they had imprisoned two British
subjects at Shigatse, and refused to release them ; and
they were collecting troops, and making hostile prepara-
