Sir:-
With reference to your letter 36560/1904 of the
26th October
I am directed by the Marquess of W
Lansdowne to inform you that a communication was ad-
dressed to the Army Council by this Department, ask-
ing for their observations on the points raised in
your letter relative to the treatment to be accorded
to the officers and crew of the "Burni" at present
interned at Hongkong.
The Army Council state in their reply, a copy
of which together with a copy of the letter from
this Department of the 10th ultimo is inclosed for
the consideration of the Secretary of State for the
Colonies, that they concur in Lord Lansdowne's opin-
ion that it would be a mistake to impose hard labour
on a soldier or sailor who tries to escape from his
internment and is recaptured.
he Under Secretary of State,
