(Svdney Sun Cables.; I LOINDON, March 3.
The Gaily Mail snys a grim secret of Lhassa was revealed to the Indian agents of the Crompton Co., engineers, of Chelmsford, by Tibetan runners. The Crompton Co. recently dispatched 300 tons of electrical machinery for erection in the "Forbidden City," in charge of a young Tibetan peer named Bingang, the condition of the contract being that no Knglishman enter Lhasa. The machinery was safely reported 400 miles from the rail head at Kalimafter which there was a long silence. The agents now report that bandits, allegedly representatives of the new Tibetan Government, met Ringang with a mule caravan in a mountain pass, assassinated the party and threw the whole of the machinery over the precipice. Rjngang was a relative of the Dalai Lama, and was cducated in England, where he studied engineering. As a sequel to the news the British Everest, expedition has abandoned its projected attempt in the autumn.
