My Confidential despatch of 11th March. General Whittier, New York agent of Belgium Syndicate which holds two-thirds of shares in American Chinese Development Company has succeeded Mr. Parsons as the President of that Company. Mr. Gray, American Engineer hitherto managing the construction of line, arrives at New York today to answer charges trumped up against him by Belgian interest. The Belgians hope to ooust him and get the controlling voice in the construction and management of the line. I urge that this aim be frustrated.
