My Lord:-
I have the honour to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your Lordship's Circular Despatch of this
series of the 18 th. instant instructing me to forward
direct to the Colonial Governments, therein specified,
which have acceded to the International Convention
ne
signed at Venice in 1897 any notifications of plague
which I may receive from the Netherland and Luxemburg
Governments.
With reference to this instruction I venture
to ask whether I should likewise forward such notifi-
cations to the Governments of Mauritius and Hongkong
from whom I receive notices of plague in those colo-
nies for communication to the Luxemburg Government as
the latter have no official representatives there.
The Marquess of Lansdowne, K.G.,
