Have reason to believe that British Steamers, the former "Sandhurst" and "Woodford" (which may possibly be reported as "St. Enoch" or "Toronto") are carrying coal to Hong Kong for the Russian Fleet.
Please report by telegraph the movements of these two vessels and their proceedings on arrival in the Colony and also whether they are acting under the Russian Fleet's orders.
