With reference to your letter No.10059/96 of

the 13th May last, relative to the provision of barrack

accommodation at Hong Kong, I am directed by the

Secretary of State for War to acquaint you, for the

information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies,

that it has been arranged between the Governor and the

General Officer Commanding the Troops, Hong Kong, that

the sum voted by the Legislative Council for the

current year should be devoted to the construction of

barracks at Kowloon for the Hong Kong Regiment, and an

urgent demand for certain stores required for the work

has been received.

As the General Officer Commanding reported by

telegraph that the Colony proposed to pay for the store's

in question on delivery, it was anticipated that the

Crown Agents for the Colonies would not be in a position

to pay for the stores on their delivery by the contractor

at Woolwich for shipment, and therefore it has been

arranged that in this instance the bills for the

stores will be met by this Office, and the value of the

stores,

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

S. W.
