Government House,

Hongkong 8th.September, 1905.

In continuation of my Despatch

No. 141 dated the 31st. May, 1905, on the subject of the

penalization of raw sugar produced in the Philippine

Islands, I have the honour to transmit a copy of a note

which, after discussing the matter with Mr. William H.

Taft, United States Secretary for War, on the 3rd. instant,

I handed to that gentleman at his request on the 5th.

Mr. Taft told me that he would

take steps to get Congress to alter the duties so as to

reduce the existing surtax on raw sugar and bring it within

the limits allowed by the Brussels Convention and promised

me a further communication on the subject from Washington.
