Your Highness,
I have received a despatch from His Excel-
lency the governor of Hongkong on the subject of the riot which took place in that Colony on the 1st. and 2nd. of
November. The object of this disorder was to destroy the
shops and goods of Chinese vendors of Japanese articles, and it was organised from Canton by the so called "National Disgrace Society* which sent more than 20 emissaries to Hongkong on October 31st. for the express purpose of fo- menting a disturbance. These persons so far succeeded in their nefarious design that troops had to be called out to
quel the riot which they had provoked.
I need hardly point out to Your Highness the gravity of the offence and the injury to good relations involved in such proceedings. That a hostile demonstat- tion against Japan should have taken place in a British Colony at the instigation of Chinese agitators from Canton cannot fail to produce a most unfavourable impression on His Majesty's Goverment and it is my duty to draw the serious attention of the Chinese Government to the occurrence and to request that the responsible agents of the Society
I trust also that in question may be severely punished, the Viceroy at Canton may be urged to take all precautions
to prevent the recurrence of such an indident.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew
to Your Highness the assurance of my highest consideration.
His Highness Prince Ching.
