My Lord,
I have the honour to enclose herewith a copy of a despatch which I have addressed to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in regard to the promise retracted from the Tsungli-Yamen by M. von Brandt, the German Minister, in return for Germany's assent to the Opium Convention, that the Likin Pass system will, in future, be put on a more satisfactory basis throughout the Empire.
I have, &c.
Earl of Rosebery
(Signed) M. R. O'Conor
