CONQUEST OF LAssA.
Il Is Now Beina Attempted BY
Strong British Force.
China, Which Exercises Suxerainty
over Thibet, Has offered No Pro-
test-Country Ruled by Cor
rupt Priests.

Eng,aud's so-called peaceful" ad-
vance into Thibet with a force from
1000 to 5000 strong, led by COL Young
husband and Col Macdonald. is the
subject of much discussion by Euro
pean statesmen. Russia Is suspicious
of the movement. From the English
governments standpoint the expedi-
ton is to support and protect the COM
mission sent to more rigidly enforce
the treaty between Great Britain and
Thibet: also to gain new concessions
and, more than all. to enlarge the
channels of commerce and see that
Russia gets no more favors than Eng
land.
Before the expedition started the
Chinese government published In the
Picking Gazette an official memorial
from the amban reporting a conference
with the Thibetan state councillors. at
which he urged them to abandon the
policy of obstruction and to be reason
able and discuss in friendly manner
trade questions with the British COM
missioners who would cross the from
tier. The memorial was an indication
that China herself would place no seri-
Gus obstacle in the way Of negotia-
tons. Since the expedition started the
Chinese government has made no pro-
test or remonstrance OF any kind; on
the contrary. it has given evidence
that it regards the expedition with APP

service. He was in the trenches dur
ing the whole Of the great battle
known as the .'seven-day fight" In Pa
mama three years ago. Under his lead
ership his troops fought desperately,
and at the conclusion Of the struggle
there was q pile of 400 dead men in
front of them. Gen. HuertAs has .
great reputation as q strategist. Once
he was given q detail Of so men and
ordered to capture battery OF I'VE
pieces. which was located near the sea
shore. He took i've men and made q
cautious detour to the rear Of the POI
sition he wished to take. Then his So
men landed in a boat within sight Of
the defenders Of the battery. AS soon
as the enemy got busy in front he
pounced upon them from the rear with
his little squad. and got their guns
without the loss of man.
His latest exploit vas the csptur. Of
his two superior officers during ".he
bloodless revolution" He agreed to
assist the secession movement, and al
though the time had been set for the
outbreak, he had not told his officers or
his men. 1t seems Colombia got wind
that trouble was brewing on the 18TH
mus. and quietly sent out forces to put
down the movement Two superior Of
dcers walked into the barracks one
afternoon and took Huertas unawares.
None Of his subordinates happened to
