Ref 11 SEP 26
FOREIGN OFFICE
September 10 1896
Sir,
I am directed by the Marquess of Salisbury to state,
for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies
that during a recent conversation between Her Majesty's
Ambassador at San Sebastian and the Spanish Minister
for Foreign Affairs the conversation turned on the revolutionary
outbreak in the Phillippine Islands, and the latter said that
he trusted that the necessary orders would be given at
Hongkong and Singapore to prevent filibustering expeditions
proceeding to the seat of the disturbances.
I am to say that Lord Salisbury would be obliged if
Mr Secretary Chamberlain would cause the requisite instructions
to be sent by telegraph to the Colonial Authorities on this
subject.
I am,
Sir,
Under Secretary of State
Colonial Office
Your most obedient,
humble Servant
F.A. Villers
