might bave been more serious.os tehes to the Associated Press show that 00 little wes the onset Office Col, ritich the the of Sikkim, notth-east MONTREAL, expected that the British officers were eating eandwiches, and adjusting cameras.Mr, Candier, the correspondent of the \u2018Daily Mail,\u2019 had a narrow escape from th, receiving twelve wounds.Col.Younghusband, and bin staff, were not far distant, «nd also wholly unarm- | ed, and it is evident that but for the na) courage and presence of mind of jen.MacDonald and his officers, a terrible dinaster might have occurred.The Thibetans displayed doggedness, apparent! being minted by the smallness of t itish foree, and ignorant of the effect of modern firearms.The whole affair enly occupied ten minutes and even after the retreat the Thibe tans disdsined to scatter, and marched polemaly in lines under a bail of bui- THE CASUALTIES.Major Dunlop was wounded in the band, end Mr.Candler, the \u2018Daily Mai! correspondent, was wounded in both hands and in the head.The retreating Thibetans lost heavily, but when Gen.MaeDonald\u2019s forces advanced to Guru fur- resistance was made and a few more casualties were suffered in driving the Thibetans from the village.Among the Thibetans killed was the Lhasa general, the military commandant of Phari, and Lata, the :epresentative of the Golden Monastery, to whose influence and violent hostility a frat part ve.Al of the t difficalty is though &e incident is regrettable, it is that the sharp lesson now taught the Thibetans will save many hundreds of lives eventually and make Thibet understand that i i longer useful .KE care is being taken of the Thibetan wounded.Tins uignificant fact, that three of the Thibe- tan ls escort were srmed with rifles ing the Roesian imperial stamp.Rustian ammunition was also found.A DIFFICULT MARCH.The British eoluma, which had eamped for some months among ihe Himalayas > got under way last week, ; first destination of the invading force was Gyangtse, in ibet.The British bed not anpounced any pair tion of goi 0!
