CHINESE ILL-DISPOSITION 345
Later other evidence of Mr. Chang's antipathy came
to light. The Tibetan Jongpens at Gyantse informed
Captain O'Connor in January, 1907, that since his
arrival upon the scene their position had become very
difficult, for he had told them that in future the Chinese
were to act as intermediaries between the English and
Tibetans, and so before complying with any request of his
they would be obliged to ask the permission of Mr. Gow.
And on March 5 Captain O'Connor telegraphed that he
was now completely cut off from personal intercourse with
Tibetan officials, as Mr. Gow refused to let the Jongpens
see him.
In other directions also the change for the worse since
Mr. Chang's arrival was apparent. The Resident Yu-tai,
with whom I negotiated in 1904, was reported to have
been dismissed from office and imprisoned in fetters in
January, 1907. His Secretary was also degraded, and
a desire to sweep away all Chinese officials connected
with the improvement of our relations with the Tibetans
seemed to have inspired Mr. Chang's actions. A similar
resentment against Tibetan officials concerned with the
recent negotiations was also shown, two Councillors and
a General being degraded. These incidents afforded, in
the opinion of the Government of India, indubitable proof
of Mr. Chang's determination to upset the status quo
and destroy the position secured to us by the Mission.
Mr. Chang's assumption seems to have been that virtual
recognition of Chinese sovereignty over Tibet was in-
volved in the signature of the latest Convention with
China.
So clear, indeed, had the intention of the Chinese to
work against us rather than with us been showing itself
that Sir Edward Grey, on February 9, 1907, telegraphed
to Sir John Jordan that, while it was our desire to have
matters put right, not by separate action in Tibet, but
through the medium of the Chinese Government, he
should bring Mr. Chang's action to the attention of the
Chinese Government, and point out to them that the
recognition by China of the Lhasa Treaty was not con-
