Telegram. Governor Sir M.Nathan to Mr.Lyttelton
(Received Colonial Office, 11.25 a.m. 7th October, 1905)
I have just heard that this morning the con-
ditions of Agreement for loan from Hong Kong to Viceroy at
Wuchang and payment of £400,000 to Hong Kong and Shanghai
Bank were published in Shanghai,
In these circumstances I propose to inform the
Executive Council confidentially of the conditions and
concomitant advantages. At present they know nothing
of the matter.
Do you concur.
