Vis Protei
f
Amoy for
ha
Services of
British officer
as to the defences
to advise
*
that port.
As Amoy, however, is in
the province of Fukhian, in regard to
which
Assurances
have been given by China
to Japan, similar to
those given to this country
in regard to
the Yangtze region,
Lord Salisbury has thought it
advisable to instruct
Her Majesty's Minister at Tokio
by telegraph to
inform the Japanese Government of the
Barlan's request, and
await their answer,
to which it is proposed to conform.
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant
Francis Bertie
