Although there are many Europeans st Chentu, the capital of Szechuan, which is Mr. Fergusson's headquarters, there are not more then at the most five or six who have tenyelled, as he has done, in the region between the city and the Tibetan frontier and are in close touch with the people. Mr. Fergusson said :--
I have just come from Übenta, where I have lived for the past eight years, and have on many occasions visited the arsenals in that city, Chentu bas Ind an arsenal for over thirty years, the machinery of which for a long period was drixan by a 150-h.p. Birmingham engine

In 1905 the building of a new arsenal was began outside the city, covering twenty nores. The shops are large and well built, and in them for the past two years a German firm has had its representatives busily installing massive machinery. When I left in November the new arsenal was already working, and it was stated on good authority that between four and five thousand ten will be employed them by the end of the year.
POWDER FACTORY.
Five miles from the new uraene a large powder factory has also been erected, in which a German has been employed for quite two years tenching the manufacture of smoke- less gunpowder. This Gorman, whom I know porsonally, only left Cheuta in October last, An explosion took place owing to a Chinese end on the floor.

On the 25th alt, Lord CRIzon of Kedleston asked the Secretary of State for India whether he could give any information to the Home about the reported flight of the Dalai Lama of Tibet to Indin, or about recent affairs in Tibor, and whether he proposed to lay papers. before Parliament. He pointed out that two years or more had elapsed since the laat papers about Tibel had been placed before Parliament. Viscourt Morley I find it natural that the noble lord should put a question on this subject, because the incident is, no doubt, most remarkable and interesting performance. The Dalai Lama left Poking on December 21st, to have arrived at Lhasa on December of his movements between those two dates, but he appears to have spout two months Nagobuka (eight or nine days journey from Lhase) before proceeding to the capital. It had been rumoured for some time that there was nonsiderable friction between the Tibetan Government and the Chinese officials. This was said to be increased by the activity of Chao Erh Feng, farmer Viceroy of Szochton, who had been appointed Amban in Marsh, 1958, and with a Chinese army was slowly advancing in Enstera Tibet, where he had been for some months in the neighbourhood of Batang. No information at all has reached Calonita how the crisis was precipitated. But about Jannary 30 the British trade agent at: Gyantso received a visit from a Tibetau oficial specially sent by the Dalai Loms, and this official stated to our agent that the Chinese army was at Chiarade (about 400 (46 mussed half-a-day's marel from it. Nothing more was heard until February 17. The British agent telegraphed that day that 40 Chinese mounted Infantry had arrived at Lhasa, on the 12th, that the rest the Chinese army was close to the city, and that the Dalai Lama had fled the same night in the direction of India, He arrived at Phari (accompanied by three Ministers, then alps, and about 100) mon) on the 17th, after i fight with the Chinese at Chakaan. He stayed at the British duke bungalow. Hearrived at Yatong in the Chumbi Valley on the 20th, parsed by the Climase, and loft the next day for Guatong, whence he is expected to arrive at Darjeeling on the 27th, On receiving nows of the Dalai Lama's fight Bince then I have continuously seen troops the Government of India at once issued orders marching towards Dachieniu, which is the Chinese base of operations. I have never been to the British Agents at Gyantee and Yatung, and to the Political Ofeer in Bikkin, to main... out on the main road without meeting large tain an attitude of strict neutrality. This has camarans with supplies, azmunition, etc., been scrupulously observed.

He gave no indication of the cause of his flight except that the people of Lhasa had Leon greatly oppressed by the Chinese, mounted infantry having arrived and fired on the Tibetans killing and wounding some of them. He thanked the British Government for the courtesy with which he had been treated. About ten days ago a Tibetan deputa- tion walted at Caloutte, and a similar depata tion waited on the British Minister at Peking en the 21st inst. Both of these parties

The MARQUIS of LANSDOWNE—Are there no papers throwing auy light on the situation at Thess? I gather from the statement of the noble viscount that Lhasa has been virtually. cocupied by a Chinese force, with the result that this hight official whom he properly describes as being an object of veneration to many millions of his Majesty's subjects, has been forcibly ex- pelled from Lhasa and has taken refuge in British territory. I should have thought that there would have been some information avail- able us to that fact, and whether Lhasa has been occupied by a Chinese force.
Viscorner Monter ---I think it would ba premature to say that the Dalai Lama has been forcibly expolled. Of course, the moat meagre and cart statements have been supplied to us, CO.. and all that they say is that he has fed. The exact and precise reasons why he fled we do not know, nor do we knew when the Chinese marched into Lhasa and sailed the Tibetan force, The state of the Tibetan mind was explained to the Gorarament of India by deputation, but I will look father, and if I can find papers wourth producing I will produce them.

There were also many casualties among the riotera
It appears that notwithstanding & num. her of warnings and proclamations issued from the yamen of the District Magistrate, the farmers persistell in placing a large area under poppy cultivation, and matters come to a crisis last week when the District blagistrate, with a company of soldiers, appeared upon the scene and proceeded to pall the poppy plants up by the roots and otherwise destroy the crop. A large number of farmers, estimated at 2,000, quickly gathered to oppose these drastic proceedings, with the resulta above stated.
