TIBETANS ASK BRITISH AID 395
Peking Government's written assurance. Intrigue on his
part against the Chinese he denied. The Amban was
altogether hostile, and a hostile policy had been adopted
by the Chinese. He repeated his statement that the
Chinese had designs on Sikkim, Bhutan, and Nepal. So
far as Tibet was concerned, there was no need for the
large force of 2,700 troops which, according to his infor-
mation, the Chinese had in and round Lhasa. The Lama
also gave his account of his relations with Dorjieff, who,
he said, was a purely spiritual adviser, and of the treat-
ment of the letter from Lord Curzon. He inquired, at
the conclusion of the interview, how his appeal was
answered. In reply Lord Minto said that at present he
could give no reply at all, but that he was very glad
to make his acquaintance, to extend hospitality, and
to hear his views, which would be placed before His
Majesty's Government. The Dalai Lama again thanked
Lord Minto warmly for his hospitality and took his
leave.
On the return of the Dalai Lama and his Ministers to
Darjiling further representations were made by the latter
to Mr. Bell. They said that the only offence of them-
selves and the 'T'ibetan people was the struggle to maintain
the freedom of their country, and they asked* that a
British officer might be sent to Lhasa or Gyantse to
inquire into Chinese conduct, and that " an alliance under
which each party should help the other on the same terms
as the arrangement which they said exists between the
Government of India and Nepal might be concluded by
the Government of India with Tibet."
A few days later, on April 18, they requested f that
the aggression of the Chinese might be stopped while
discussion between the British and Chinese Governments
was in progress, and that permission to communicate
with their deputies at Lhasa might be given to the
Tibetan Government in Darjiling. Failing this, they
requested the despatch to Lhasa of British officers with
soldiers to inquire into and discuss the present condition
of affairs with the Chinese.
