400 THE ATTITUDE OF THE TIBETANS
him to reason, but he would not listen ; and when Lien-yü
telegraphed that, on the arrival of the Szechuan troops
in Lhasa, the Dalai Lama, without reporting his intention,
had fled during the night of February 12, and that his
whereabouts were unknown, the Emperor commanded the
Resident to take steps to bring him back and make satis-
factory arrangements for him. The aforesaid Dalai Lama
had been guilty of treachery over and over again, and had
placed himself outside the pale of the Imperial bounty.
To his superiors he had shown ingratitude, and he had
failed to respond to the expectations of the people below
him. He was not a fit head of the saints.
He was, therefore, to be deprived of the title of Dalai
Lama as a punishment, and to be treated as an ordinary
person, and the Resident in Tibet was to at once institute
a search for a number of male children bearing miraculous

generations of Dalai Lamas.

dated February 27, the Chinese confirmed their verbal reply.

conformed to the treaties." But the Dalai Lama does
nothing but run away on one pretext or another," continued
the note "and must really be considered to have renounced
his position voluntarily." But under no circumstances
would the dismissal or retention of a Dalai Lama be used
to alter the political situation in any way."
In a further interview which Mr. Max Miiller had with
the Chinese Grand Councillor, Natung, on March 5, the
Chinese position was again stated. He showed, by sketch-
ing his career, how impossible it was to place any con-
fidence in the Dalai Lama. Ever since the Lama assumed
direction of affairs in 1895 he had been a constant source
of trouble to China, and our expedition in 1904 was the
result of his intrigues and wild disregard of Treaty
