I um directed by the Marquess of Salisbury to
state that Her Majesty's Consul General at Antwerp
reports that the Japanese Steam Ship "Kawaehi Maru"
sailed from that port on the 23rd instant for Singa-
pore, Hongkong, Kobe and Yokohama with arms on board,
vis.,
Sixty five cases of Revolvers supposed to be
for Hongkong and four cases of cartridges and nine
cases of Rifles for Singapore.
His Lordship would suggest the advisability
of calling the attention of the Governor of Hongkong
to this consignment of arms, which may be intended
for the insurgents in China.
The Japanese Chargé d'Affaires has been re-
quested to bring the matter to the notice of his
Under Secretary of State,
