DALAI LAMA NOW
IN DARJEfLING
Fights Battle With The
Chinese Amban, But
Is Defeated

The Dalai Lama, recognized heal
of the Buddbistic church and an In
carnation of Buddha, is safely en-
sconsed at the Drum Druid Hotel in
Darjeeling, whittier he fed owing to
the persistent contempt shown him
and the studied ignoring of his au-
thority by the Chinese Amban.
The Dalai Lama of Thibet arrived
at Lhassa four months ago armed
with authority from Picking to take
over the administration from the
Provisional Governors, appointed as
the result Of the Younghusband Mis-
sion. Many inconsistencies had been
dcspoiled by the Chinese. notably
that at Dabung. and many monks
had been massacred
The Dalai Lama had reason to re-
monstrate with the Chinese Amban
on account of the excuses of Chi
nese troops on the Szechuan from
, tier, who had been killing Lamas
and sacking monasteries This re.
monstrance brought to Head the
whole question of the respective po-
sitions of the Ambah and the Dalai
Lama. The former said that Thibet
had been proclaimed a Chinese prov
ince; he, therefore, wss the sole
judge of what methods were expe-
dent in the dealing with the from
tier rebels. The Dalai Lama quoted
the letter of authority given him at
Peking
Since the withdrawal of the Brit
ish from Thibet, the Chinese have
been drafting troops in large COM
panies into the country. and mill
tary cantonment has been formed
three miles from Lhassa. with $500
trained Chinese soldiers armed with
magazine rifles and modern artil-
lery.
| The Amban stated that he would
move these troops into Lhassa IL the
Dalai Lama did not conform to his
views. Some companies of Lamas,
armed with old flint-lock weapons,
were hastily enrolled under the title
of Golden Soldiers" fierce bat
tie was fought in the market place,
and the Thibetans were routed
| The Dalai Lama with a large fol-
lowing made his escape, and, having
crossed the Chaksham ferry. destroy
ed all the boats, and thus hamper.
ed the pursuing Chinese. Although
pursued by the Chinese, by making
forced MARCHES, they eventually ar
rived at Yatung. in the Chumbi Val
/ ley, thence by easy marches reach
! ing Kalimpong, IN British Sikhim.
Here they were entertained at the
Scotch Presbyterian Mission, In
charge of Rev. DR.. Graham, and,
having rested after their long march
and privation. the journey was con-
tinued to Darjeeling, which city
they entered in state.
The arrival of the Dalai Lama has
caused the greatest excitement IN
Bhutan and Nepal. His Holiness 10
accompanied by the Maharajah- Ku-
mar of Sikhim, sixty ministers, three
hundred troops, and followers. A
Durbar will be held and the Brit
ish Government will be petitloned to-
arbitrate the matter.
The Dalai Lama has slight,
though well-knit, figure. His face
Is thin and deeply pitted with small
pox, and one is not very apt to as
sociate him as being al incarnation
of Buddha.
