QUESTION OP THE INDEMNITY. A GERMAN DISCLAIMER. [press association.] LONDON, 21st October. The British representative at Gyaugtse is entitled under the Tibet Treaty to go to Lhassa to settle questions which it is impossible tcdeal with elsewhere. Reuter's Agency understands that spreading payment of the indemnity over seventy-five years was arranged at the instance of the Tibetans, while Colonel Younghusband was at Lhassa, although the Tibetans were warned of the terms of the treaty providing for the occupation of the Chumbi Valley until tie money was paid. The statement of the India. Office implies that the- Home Government did not assent to the arrangement. The North German Gazette says Germany has not taken step,* either officially or confidentially in the Tibet question. The Minister at Pekin expressly intimated that Germany waa not interested.
