| 140 KHAMBA JONG British Commissioner ; (2) no Chinese delegates of suitable rank had as yet been sent ; (3) the procrastination of the Chinese Government ; (4) the warlike preparations of the Tibetans ; (5) the arrest and imprisonment of two British subjects ; (6) the complete failure of the policy pursued for twenty-five years, the only result of which was that the Tibetans mistook our patience for weakness, and despised our strength. They recommended, therefore, the advance should extend to Gyantse, and should not be con- fined to the Chumbi Valley, for these reasons : (1) That the Chumbi Valley is on the Indian side of the watershed, and is not regarded as part of Tibet, and a move from Khamba Jong only to there would be regarded as a retro- grade movement by the 'Tibetans ; (2) that if we moved only into the Chumbi Valley, we should find the existing situation at Khamba Jong repeated at Phari ; (3) that Colonel Younghusband considered it extremely important that we should come into contact with the 'Tibetan people, for they were quite prepared to enter into relations with us, and were friendly, it being only the hierarchy of Lhasa Lamas who were opposed ; (4) that, as we were pressing to have a mart at Gyantse, that object could be secured in no better way than by advancing thither at once. On arrival at Gyantse the force would not attack the place, but, as had been done at Khamba Jong, would establish a fortified port, and invite Tibetans and Chinese to resume negotiations. It was estimated, in a subsequent telegram, that the total force to be employed would be one battalion of Gurkhas, two companies of Sappers and Miners, two battalions of Pioneers, two guns, British Mountain Battery, two Maxims, and two seven-pounder guns. The com- mand of the whole was to be entrusted to Brigadier- General Macdonald. The Secretary of State,* in a telegram dated Novem- ber 6, at last gave his sanction to an advance. In view of the recent conduct of the Tibetans, His Majesty's Govern- ment felt that it would be impossible not to take action, and they accordingly sanctioned the advance of the * Blue-book, I., p. 294. | ||||
