In his despatch No. 170 of April 10th Sir F. Satow informed you of the proposals which the Viceroy at Canton had telegraphed to the Vai Vu Pu on March 3rd in respect to the Canton-Kowloon Railway, and recorded the circumstances which led to the appointment by the Viceroy of delegates to negotiate with the representative of the British & Chinese Corporation.
These negotiations were undertaken at Canton early in April by Mr. Bland on behalf of the Corporation under instructions to adhere strictly to the Preliminary Agreement of February 16th, 1906.
On April 12th Sir Matthew Nathan telegraphed stating that negotiations were suspended on account of the departure of the Viceroy to the neighbouring Province.
Honourable
Sir,
