In regard to the troops leaving Umballa for Darjiling it appears that owing to the open nature of the country which the Tibe Mission has reached at Tuna it has beon found that a mounted escort is likely to be more useful than one composed of infantry mon untrained to ponies. Thero is also some difficulty about food. It has been decided therefore to replace about a hund red of the men already in Chumbi Valley by Mahomedans drawn from various regi❤ ments in the Punjab and trained to ride. These have been collected at Umballa and are now under despatch. No additiona Maxims are being sent.
February 3.-There have been no further meetings between Colonel Younghusband. and the Thibetan delegates. The latter in ist upon the retirement of the Mission to Gnatung as the basis of negotiations.
February 6.-The latest from the Thibet Mission states that a new Chinese Amban is shortly expected at Lhassa from Pekio.
There is no sign of any activity in the Thibetan camp at Guru.
Two days snow has fallen at Tuna, and the snow is forming drifts tefore a violent wind.
The health of the Mission escort at Tuna continues good.
An ekka road is being constructed over Tang La.
London, February 3.-The Marquess of Lansdowne, last night, referred to the in- utility of Chinese intervention with Thibet, and said that a Chinese envoy left Pekin in. December, 1902, for the express purpose of arranging the difficulties with Gros
45 Britain, and he had not reached Lhassa
yet. The Government
dia were satis fied that there had no contravention- of the existing Act, because the Mission was political and not military,

FIRE IN QUEEN'S ROAD.
Two Houses Destroyed. Shortly before ten o'clock on Saturday night a fire broke out in No. 352 Queen's Road Central, which resulted in the com- plete gutting out of Nos. 362 and 354 bo- fore the fire was got under. When the brigado arrived on the scene, under the command of Mr Hallifax, the flames had a good hold of No. 352. As usual the want of water hampered the efforts of the fire men from the outset, the force of water availablo being insuflicient to send the water to the second floor of the building. The house in which the fire broke out ie the second house in a terrace, so that the firemen were able to take their hose up a lane and play on the flumes from the rear. Several lengths of hose were taken up the lane, and into the adjoining houses. When the top floor of No. 352 fell with a crash, sonding dense volumes of smoke and sparks into the darkness of the night, the water was still very weak. By degrees the water gained volume, presumably after the residents had taken enough out
