Action of the Chinese officials.

Twelve hours after the tragedy I received telegraphic information of what had occurred and transmitted it to the Viceroy who is staying at Whampoa on sick-leave. No time was lost in the despatch of two torpedo boats to the spot, and the Viceroy's Secretaries and other officials were present on board at the enquiry held by me on board the steamship "Sainam" immediately on her arrival. I took the opportunity to impress on them most strongly that the eyes of all the foreign Governments would be on His Excellency to observe if this brutal and murderous attack on foreigners, following on a long series of piracies and robberies, was dealt with in a manner calculated to show a desire and

a determination on his part to put an end once and for all

to a state of things which is a discredit to his administration. They assured me that His Excellency is thoroughly in earnest and was that day despatching both the Admiral

Li and the Brigadier General Huang with a considerable

force of foreign-drilled troops and a number of detectives

off to scour the country in the neighbourhood of the place

where the pirates disembarked. I urged an attack on the

large village of Tai Ping a few miles inland, which is

well known as the resort of pirates who have a stronghold on a hill close to the village.

Today I have received a letter from the Viceroy

announcing the capture of two of the band by the River

Police. Two Hongkong detectives are endeavouring to trace

the boats used for disembarking, and H.M.S. "Moorhen" is

watching the proceedings of the troops in the neighbourhood

of Tai Ping. (Signed) R. W. Mansfield.

Canton, 17 July, 1906.
