Government House,
Hong Kong,
6th April, 1899.
Sir,
I have the honour to enquire whether the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands by the United States of America has been officially recognised by Her Majesty's Government, as the question has arisen whether the law of the United States restricting the immigration of Chinese applies to the Hawaiian Islands.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Most Obedient Humble Servant,
Henry Arthur Blake
Right Honourable
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
&c. &c. &c.
GOVERNOR &c.
