P 10 AUG 08
1908.
Referring to my despatch of March 3rd.,
74
and to my telegram of yesterday, I have the honour to enclose
a translation of a note from the Wai Wu Pu, dated March 24th.
in which the measures taken by the chinese Government to meet
Your Excellency's wishes in regard to the prohibition of the
export of prepared opium from China to Hongkong are stated.
A memorial was presented to the Throne on March 22nd. to the
effect that His Majesty's Government had agreed that both
countries should take steps to stop smuggling, and recommending
that the trade in prepared opium to Hongkong from China should
be prohibited; an Imperial Rescript sanctioning the memorial
has been issued, and also instructions to the Provincial
Authorities concerned; and the Viceroy of Canton has ordered
all Customs and Likin stations and Local Authorities to take
preventive measures, and has issued a proclamation.
I have the honour to request that I may
be informed by telegraph as soon as Your Excellency has taken
the steps referred to in paragraph 4 of your despatch of
January 15th., 1908 (No. 10208/1908).
I have etc.,
(Sd.) Stephen Leech,
for H. M's. Minister.
