Inclosure in No. 1.
(Telegraphic.)
Government of Burmah to Government of India.
Maymyo, September 16, 1905.
LITTON telegraphs, Talifu, the 9th instant :- "Reason to believe that Yünnan Governor-General much alarmed at Thibetan insurrectionary movement. At the present time he will be probably amenable to pressure of Government of India on the subject of northern frontier. May I suggest you put severe pressure on Peking and also Yunnan, requesting Chinese Government should answer without delay whether they accept proposals of the Government of India in view of their obvious inability to maintain order?
should
The disturbance at Thibetan Yünnan cannot be said to have affected Burmah--Yunnan border. Litton's suggestion is submitted for such action as may be thought expedient.
