on the 26th instant, in which he was instructed to make representations to the Chinese government in regard to the recent disturbances in the territory leased to Great Britain and to the proceedings of the Chinese authorities
and troops.
Lord Salisbury is of opinion that it
would be advisable to await the result
of Mr. O'Conor's representations before making any further communication to the Chinese government in this
matter, so as to obviate a

overlapping communications to the Tsungli Yamen.
Lord Salisbury would
suggest that
the proposed telegraphic instruction to the Governor of Hongkong should also be deferred. I am,
Your most obedient
humble servant
