Settlements copies of a note from Lofêngluh conveying a request from the Viceroy of Wuchang that increased vigilance may be shewn by the Colonial Authorities with a view to keeping in check the proceedings of all persons living in the Colonies who may be suspected of organizing rebellion against the Chinese Government. Lofengluh also furnishes lists in English and Chinese of persons considered to be in league with Kang Yu-wei, of which copies are enclosed herein.
In view of this communication from Chang-Chi-tung, Lord Lansdowne suggests for Mr. Chamberlain's consideration that the Colonial Authorities at Hong Kong and in the Straits Settlements be instructed to report by telegraph what is the present position in the Colonies as regards agitation against the Chinese Government.
I am,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
