Curtailment Coolies.
Referring to my telegram of 6th June, Viceroy will not permit recruitment of Transvaal coolies pending instructions from Wei Wu Po. Urge strongly recruiting under Convention for Hongkong embarkation port should be authorised by Chinese Government. Hongkong deep-sea vessels conveying Chinese emigrants cannot proceed to Canton on account of too great draught. Elimination of Hongkong will cause very serious curtailment supplies of South China coolies.
