390 THE ATTITUDE OF THE TIBETANS
January 20, a small fight took place between the Chinese
and Tibetans ; eight Chinese and fifteen Tibetans being
killed, and eighteen of the latter being captured, all of
whom were at once beheaded. The Tibetan troops then
withdrew, and on February 12 forty Chinese mounted
infantry and 200 infantry arrived suddenly in Lhasa, while
L000 more were only two marches behind. A crowd of
unarmed Tibetans went to look at the new arrivals and the
Chinese fired into the midst, killing two Tibetan policemen,

Wai-wu-pu to our Minister at Peking. But the Dalai
Lama, remembering what had happened just recently in
Eastern Tibet under Chao Erh-feng, who was now himself
at Chiamdo, was not so confident as to what these
additional troops were meant for. When the new arrivals
entered Lhasa on February 12, three of his chief Ministers
were with him in the Potala, and during the meeting
news came that the Chinese had despatched ten soldiers
to the house of each Minister to arrest him. Upon
hearing this, and that more than the 1,000 Chinese
troops had entered Lhasa territory, the Dalai Lama and
