CHINESE TROOPS IN LHASA 389
I had a personal interview on February 9, 1910, at the
Potala, with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, in regard to
the orders sent from Szechuan about sending 1,000 Chinese
troops to Lhasa... . ." He then agreed that the distribu-
tion of the troops to guard the frontier would be considered
on their arrival at Lhasa ; the Lamas would not be
P harmed or their monasteries destroyed, and there would
be no diminution in the Dalai Lama's spiritual power.
Wen further stated in this letter that the Dalai Lama had
agreed that the Chinese troops would have no resistance
offered to them ; that the 'Tibetan troops then assembled
would be dismissed to their homes ; that the Dalai Lama

Resident.

temporal power.

the Chinese, it was reasonably evident that the Chinese
meant to take the temporal power from the Dalai Lama.
But the point whether the Resident actually promised that
more than 1,000 Chinese troops should not be brought to
Lhasa is not clear. Anyhow, there is no mention of any
more than 1,000, and no intimation that more than 1,000
were coming, or request that they might be allowed to.
In India British troops are not sent into a Native State
without at least an intimation, and when the Resident had
made no mention of more than 1,000 being sent, the
Tibetan Government had some justification for complaining
when more than 1,000 arrived.
For this is what now happened. The Chinese, to the
number of 2,000, advanced from Chiamdo, where, on
