I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknow-
of the 15th instant ledge the receipt of your letter 1150/1906-1907, rela-
tive to the claim of 0 Yung against the United States
Government on account of the destruction of his junk
by a collision with a United States Collier.
In reply I am to state that as the Colonial Au-
thorities in causing the action brought by 0 Yung to
be dismissed, acted on the request of, and on the re-
presentations of fact made by the American naval offi-
cers, His Majesty's Government would appear to be
justified in asking the United States Government to
provide the plaintiff with other means of redress.
It would however materially strengthen the case,
>
if it could be shown that 0 Yung was a British subject,
and I am to request that Lord Elgin will in the first
he Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
