London, June GA dispatch from the

the Amban come to Gyang Use with
qualified Thibetan representatives, to set
tie the outstanding differences before
June 20, has been returned unopened
and without comment.
The Thibetans have therefore, the cor
respondent says, deliberately chosen war.
The Thibetans are now concentrating in
the monastery and the town Of Gyang
Use. Another concentration is rumored
between Railing and Khang Ma.
The present intention of the Thibetans
IS to prevent Brighten. Macdonald from
arriving at Gyang Use, and it is possible
that recent experiences have taught the
enemy how to make his advance a mat
