It is desired to enroll a small Corps of Chinese in Dorsetshire to serve as part of H.M. Regular forces in the Capacity of Submarine Miners: but The General has been asked whether
They
are included in the words
"Persons of Colour"
in The
95th Section par. 2. of the Army Act 1881 - or must become British Subjects before being enrolled.
There are certain difficulties as regards the latter course, & it seems

Must mean any person who is not a white man,
Certainly is not. this Lordship
