Colonial Secretary's Office.
Hong-Kong, 4th.October, 1897.
In reply to your letter, undated, I am directed
to inform you that this Government has no intention of allow-
ing the British Colony of Hong-Kong to be used as an Asylum
for persons engaged in plots and dangerous conspiracies
against a friendly neighbouring Empire, and that in view of
the part taken by you in such transactions, which you euphemis -
tically term in your letter emancipating your miserable
countrymen from the cruel Tartar yoke', you will be arrested
if you land in this Colony under an order of Banishment is-
sued against you in 1896.
I have, &c.,
(Sd.)J.H.Stewart Lockhart,
Colonial Secretary.
MR. SUN
