England. The Ti Rimpoche said he trusted that when
this settlement was made Tibet and England would
dt always be on terms of friendship. The Tibetans had no
wish to have relations with any other Power, and desired
now to keep on good terms with England. I replied that
f we had been on perfectly good terms with Tibet for more
I, than a century up till the time of the Sikkim War, and I
hoped that when the present settlement was made we
should be friends for ever.
had perused the Tibetan reply to hiin which he had
handed to me at our last meeting. It was more satis-
iit factory than the first reply, and there were some points
which the Tibetans would now evidently agree to. I
proposed, then, that we should get these points settled first
and out of the way, so as to make a start, and then work
III on to the more contentious clauses.
I then remarked that I had heard the Dalai Lama had
without any doubt whatever fled the country. The
Rh Amban said this was true, and he was evidently not flying
to China, but to the north—possibly to join the Great
Ike Lama at Urga. I said he would hardly be flying to China,
it for he would surely have obtained the Amban's per-
mission to proceed to Peking, or at least have informed
him of his intention. The Amban replied that he had
gone off without any warning, and he had now definitely
decided to denounce him to the Emperor, and would
to-day or to-morrow send me a telegram which he would
ask me to have despatched to Peking as quickly as
possible. I said I would do this service for him, and I
considered he was acting with great wisdom in denouncing
the Dalai Lama, for it was he who had brought all this
trouble upon his country, and he deserved to suffer for it.
I was not surprised, however, at so young a ruler coining
to grief, for our experience in India was that a young
trouble if they kept on good terms with her. The
Nepalese representative agreed with the Tongsa Penlop
that all four countries should be on terms of friendship
with one another, and that Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan
should always preserve good relations with their neighbour
