L HASA DELEGATES ARRIVE 227
friends with us ; they were the two biggest men in Tibet
next to the Dalai Lama, and it was both against their
religion and disgusting to them to have soldiers in the
same place where they were staying. I said they must,
after all, allow that this could not be half so disgusting to
them as having their soldiers firing into niy camp at
Gyantse, while I was asleep, was to me. They continued
one after another wrangling and protesting against our
occupying the Jong. After listening for an hour to their
protests, I asked them if they would now care to hear the
terms we intended to ask of them. They replied that
they could not discuss any terms till we returned to
Gyantse. I said I had no wish now to discuss the terms,
but merely desired to know if they wanted to be acquainted
with them. They continued to protest that they would
discuss nothing here, and it was only after considerable
fencing that I got them to admit that they had heard the
it terms from the Tongsa Penlop.
I then said that I wished them to understand that if
tq we were further opposed on the way to Lhasa, or at
I Lhasa itself, these terms would be made stricter. I said the
~;► British Government had no wish to be on any other than
friendly terms with 'Tibet, that we had no intention of
remaining in Lhasa any longer than was required to make
a settlement, and as soon as a settlement was made we
would leave. But I had the Viceroy's orders to go to Lhasa,
D and go there I must. I desired, however, to give them
most earnest advice and warning. They were the leading
men of Tibet, and upon them lay a great responsibility. I
was quite prepared on arrival at Lhasa to live on as
friendly and peaceable terms with the people as I had at
Khamba Jong, and as I had when I first arrived at
Gyantse ; to pay for everything, and to respect their
religious buildings. It rested with them now to decide
whether our stay at Lhasa should be of this peaceable
nature and of short duration, and whether the settlement
should be of the mild nature we at present contemplated,
or whether we should have to resort to force, as we had
been compelled to do at Gyantse, to impose severer terms,
and to prolong our stay.
