THE BRITISH IN THIBET.
London, September 4.
His Excellency Lea Sa Jen, (he Chinese Ambassador in London, is apprehensive that the British invasion of Thibet will lead to the annexation of Thibetan territory, and thus bring the British close to the Chinese frontier. Having expressed himself to that effect in a note to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Marquis ot Salisbury has replied that the British operations in Thibet will be confined to expelling the Thibetans from Sikkim. The Chinese Minister does not appear to be satisfied with this explanation. It is thought that the objection urged by the Chinese Minister is merely a diplomatic mode to enable China to strengthen her position in dealing with England on the question of Chinese immigration to Australasia.
