21st June, 1900.
Hatter most urgent.
Referring to my telegram of
yesterday, Li Fung Chang intends to travel here in a Chinese Merchant's Steemer, bringing with him his personal guard of 100 armed men and two maxims. will tranship at FongFong on the 27th instant on to
Fe
a Canadian Pacific Steamer for Shanghai and Tientsin and will leave his body guard to follow in the Chinese steamer. He asks for a safe passage through Hongkong waters for his body guard.
still I believe H Pesqzyadim that it is desirable to induce him to re- main at Canton. By his asking, it may be that he wishes to be refused; but a refusal might make an enemy of a man, whom I consider friendly. Please in- struct by telegraph.
