July 15th.,1898.
Some days ago, I had the honour to receive your
despatch with regard to the Settlement at Hong-Kong in which you asked me to depute an Officer to discuss matters with you. I have accordingly, as a first measure, drawn up Regulations in eleven clauses on the lines of the despatch received from the Tsungli Yamen, and I have entrusted the ma- nagement of this matter to my Foreign Deputy, Wang Ts'un-shan, a Taotai en disponibilité for Kuangtung.
I have therefore the honour to request you to
transmit the Regulations to H.E. the Governor of Hong-Kong.
If, after perusal thereof, he finds he can ar- range matters in accordance with these Regulations, I will,at an early date, despatch an Official to Hong-Kong to determine the boundaries.
I have,&c.,
(Seal of Viceroy.)
Enclosed is a copy of the Regulations.
