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
Müller asking for definite instances of insubordinate con-
duct, Natung said that although, on the Lama's arrival,
the Amban had gone to meet him, yet the former, during
the fifty days he was in Lhasa, had refused to see the
Amban again to discuss matters amicably; had prevented
the Amban and his escort from obtaining the usual
supplies, and by refusing transport according to regula-

to have occurred in Lhasa at the time of the flight of the
Dalai Lama, he said that no such information had reached
the Chinese Government; he would not assert that no
incidents had accompanied the entry of the Chinese troops,
but, seeing that the strictest orders to the contrary had
been given to the troops, he could not credit statements as

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
