he added, her power would be extended to India : there

were already 2,000 Chinese troops in Lhasa and its

neighbourhood, others were following, and it was not for

Tibet alone that so large a number of troops were

required.

This statement of the Dalai Lama's was borne out by

information received from Gyantse, which said that 2,000

Chinese troops from Chiamdo had arrived at Lhasa in

February, and that the 'I'sarong Sha-pé (the General who

had met Mr. White and me at Khainba Jong, and who

afterwards, raised to the position of Councillor, was one

of those who negotiated the Treaty) was the only high

Tibetan official left in Lhasa, and had to obtain the

Resident's permission for all his acts. The Gyantse

500 at Gyamda, ten days' journey east of Lhasa ; and 500

at Lharigo, fourteen days' march north-east of I.lhasa.

The Ministers also stated that the intention of dismissing

the Ministers who accompanied the Dalai Lama to India

I palace near Lhasa, known as Norbaling, was stated to

have been taken possession of by Chinese soldiers, who

were endeavouring to construct barracks capable of hold-

ing 1,000 Chinese troops at Lhasa.

Besides this, the Minister reported that Chinese police

were being posted throughout the country by the A rnban,

and where 'Tibetan police existed they were being dis-
