In reply to your letter of the 14th instant, I
am directed by the Marquess of Salisbury to state
for the information of Mr. Secretary Chamberlain
that, as the insurrection in the Philippine Islands
can not be regarded as at an end, it would, in His
Lordship's judgment, be inexpedient to withdraw the
Proclamations issued by the Governors of the Straits
Settlements and Hongkong and by the British North
Borneo Company prohibiting the export of arms to
}
the Philippine Islands.
I am,
he Under Secretary of State
Colonial Office.
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
F. H. Villiers.
