230 THE ADVANCE TO LHASA
they said, let us forget the past ; let, us be practical, and
look only at the present. Here we are, the leading men
in Tibet, ready to negotiate at Gyantse, and make a settle-
ment which will last for a century."
I replied to the Yutok Sha-pé that I had no doubt that
if a sensible man like himself had been sent to me sooner,
we might have made up a satisfactory settlement long
ago, and there would have been no necessity for us to go
through all this inconvenience of advancing through an
inhospitable country to Lhasa ; but after the many chances .i;
which had been given them of negotiating at Gyantse, I
they could hardly consider it reasonable that we should ii
give them any more. Moreover, the Viceroy had formed i
the opinion, from the fact of the Ta Lama having told me I
at Gyantse that he had no authority to evacuate the jong ii
without referring to Lhasa, and from the fact of his run- d
ning away, that he had not sufficient power to make a it
settlement. For all these reasons we were compelled to 40
go to Lhasa, though I was ready to negotiate on the way, i
and we would return directly a settlement was made. iü
They then made further reference to their religion iii
being spoilt if we went to Lhasa, and I asked them to
make more clear to me in what way precisely their re- 0
ligion would be spoilt. I said we were not intolerant of iy
other religions, as they themselves were. They had yester- Ia
day told me that, though there were some Mohammedans j
in Lhasa, yet they were not allowed to practise their
li
religious rites. We had no such feelings towards other i
religions. On the contrary, we allowed the followers of
each to practise their religious observances as they liked. 14
The delegates said that they were not so intolerant to
the Mohammedans : they merely forbade building mosques, EI
and prevented any new Alohammedans coining into their
country. I said that at any rate some were there, and 4
apparently they had not spoilt the religion of the i
Tibetans. They replied that the ancestors of these had i
come many, many years ago, and the Tibetans had become
accustomed to them ; to which my rejoinder was that if
Mohammedans had lived among them practising their
religious rites for all these years—apparently for centuries
