REASONS FOR DEPOSITION   401

obligations. On that occasion he had fled from Tibet

without permission, but all along he had been treated with

consideration, and his insubordination borne with, by the

Chinese Government ; the latter had, however, been com-

pelled to depose him and appoint another, owing to his

proceedings since his return to Lhasa territory and his

flight from Lhasa without just cause. On Mr. Max

M filler asking for definite instances of insubordinate con-

the Amban had gone to meet him, yet the former, during

moreover, that there had been any diminution of position

or power of the Dalai Lama, and he could not believe that

a promise that only 1,000 troops would come to Lhasa

had been made by the Amban ; without the Chinese

Government's authorization, which had not been given,

such a promise could not be made.

Natung emphatically stated that newspaper reports as

to the proposal by the Viceroy and Chao Erh-feng for

conversion of Tibet into a province of China were without

a shadow of foundation. His Excellency said that the
