to the truth of the report published in the "Times"
that a contract had been signed for the construction
of a railway from Macao to Sungshui by a Sino-Portuguese
Syndicate, and I am to enclose a copy of the telegram
which has been received in reply.
Mr. Secretary Lyttelton will observe that the
Agreement has been signed, and that the capital has
been subscribed by Chinese subjects and Macao Chinese.
Purely Portuguese subjects are interested to the extent
of Fifty thousand dollars, but no other foreign capital
has been invested.
I am,
per
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
H. Campbell
