MACDONALD ARRIVES AT GYANTSE 209
have been compelled to advance into a semi-civilized or
barbarous country. It is often highly inconvenient to have
to do this, but it is the most humane course, and I am
not sure that it would be so inconvenient if it were
followed consistently. It need not mean annexation or
petty interference, but it must mean sufficient influence
to prevent relapses to barbarism.
We reached Kangma without incident on June 22,
and halted a day while Colonel Hogge was sent to disperse
a body of 1,000 Tibetans who were holding a sangared
r position on the road which runs down here from the
Karo-la. While halted I received a telegram from the
Tongsa Penlop at Phari to say that a big Lama and one
of the Councillors were coming to Gyantse, and that a
parcel of silk had arrived for me. The Penlop also said
I he wished to come himself to see me at Gyantse.
t Thinking this might indicate anxiety of the Tibetans to
come to terms at last—at literally the eleventh hour, for
k there were only two days left up to the expiry of the time
~t beyond which I had signified that I would no longer be
rk able to negotiate at Gyantse—I telegraphed to Govern-
ment, recommending that a period of five days' grace,
t up to June 30, should be given to them. Government
$i replied, on June 24, that the advance to Lhasa might
'6 certainly be deferred for that purpose, and I so informed
the 'l'ongsa Penlop.
On June 26 we reached Gyantse, after encountering
considerable opposition at the village and monastery of
Niani, which was held by 800 Tibetans. The fight lasted
from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m., Colonel Brander from Gyantse
assisting by occupying the hills above the village. Major
Lye, 23rd Pioneers, was here severely wounded in the
hand and slightly in the head. On its arrival our force
was ineffectually bombarded from the jong.
General Macdonald had now to break up the Tibetan
force investing Gyantse. On the 28th he attacked a
strong position on a ridge on which were the Tse-chen
monastery and several fortified towers and sangars. The
process of clearing the villages in the plain below lasted
most of the day. At 5.30 the position itself was stormed
