Sir:-
I am directed by the Marquess of Salisbury to
transmit to you, to be laid before Mr. Secretary
Chamberlain, a translation of a note from the German
Ambassador at this Court stating that permission has
been given by the German Government to the consign-
ment by the Steam Ship "Arragona" of four cases of
pistols to Messrs. Meyer and Company of Hongkong.
Lord Salisbury will be glad if Mr. Chamberlain
will cause the Governor of Hongkong to be informed
of this communication by Count Hatzfeldt and will
instruct him to give orders for the admission of
these ams, unless he sees any objection to such a
course.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I am,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
Islanderson.
