376 THE ATTITUDE OF THE TIBETANS
residents in Chiamdo had to serve the Lamasery. At the
end of last year there was a great deal of unrest, this
traveller reported, among the Tibetans in this and other
parts of Tibet owing to the appointment of Chao, whom
they feared and hated, and everywhere they were pre-
paring and drilling soldiers, and in some places had
already declared their independence, and refused to give
transport to Chinese officials travelling.
Chao, however, early in 1910 was entirely successful
in his operations, and occupied Chiamdo, Draya, and
Kiangka without suffering any casualties.
Such were the relations between the Chinese and
Tibetans in those parts not directly under the Lhasa
Government. That they must have profoundly affected
the inhabitants of Tibet proper must be very evident, and
what the effect was I will relate after I first traced the
relations between the 'Tibetans and ourselves at this time
and followed the adventures of the Dalai Lama himself.
Returning, then, to the relations between ourselves
and the Tibetans on the other side of Tibet, we find
representations being made by both parties as to what
each considered breaches of the Treaty by the other. The
Tibetans objected to our administering Chumbi during
our occupation, and we objected to their reconstruction of
the fortifications of Gyantse Jong.
The Government of India replied to the Tibetans that
the action taken by us in the Chumbi Valley called for
no explanation or defence, as it was in strict accordance
with the terms of the Treaty. As we subsequently
gave up the Valley, the point is not of any importance.
On the other hand, by levying trade dues at Phari, by
the stoppage of free trade vid Khamba Jong, by the
stoppage of the letters of the British Trade Agent at
Gartok, and by their failure to pull down defence walls
on the road between Gyantse and Lhasa, Captain
O'Connor considered* that the Tibetans had clearly con-
travened the provisions of the Treaty.
