308 IMPRESSIONS AT LHASA
I returned to the Sha-pés the sum of Rs. 5,000,
which I had exacted from them, and released the hostages
I had demanded on the occasion of the attack by a fanatical
Lama on two British officers. But I demanded back the
sum of Rs. 1,000 on account of the murder of one and the
brutal torture of another servant of the Mission caught in
the town of Gyantse on the night of the attack on the
Mission. I said we did not mind fair and square fighting
between men whose business it was to fight, but the
murder and torture of harmless and defenceless servants
was pure barbarity. The Sha-pés acknowledged that what
I said was just, but said they were not present, and knew
nothing of it. Rs. 1,000 were, therefore, retained to be
paid in compensation to the servants' families.
I then remarked that we had now had a general settling
up of all accounts between us, and could start fair. The
Sha-pés said they hoped now we should always be on
friendly terms, and they certainly meant to observe the
Treaty.
The Tongsa Penlop paid me a formal visit on the 10th
to congratulate me on the successful issue of the negotia-

settlement or at the manner in which it had been made,
and the Nepalese representative was of the same opinion.
The Tibetans were well satisfied with the issue of the
negotiations. And I dare say in their heart of hearts,
and despite all their protests, they had fully expected us
to annex the whole country, as we had annexed Burma, or
at any rate to annex up to Gyantse, and were probably
quite surprised to have got off so lightly.
Congratulations from India and England soon came
pouring in. Only six days after the Treaty was signed
came a telegram from the Viceroy conveying the con-
gratulations of the King himself. His Majesty, though
away at Marienbad, had immediately telegraphed his
congratulations, a particular compliment which is rarely
given for work in India. To the troops this was especially
gratifying.The telegram was read out to them on a full
parade, which General Macdonald ordered for the purpose.
