I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to you copies of two letters from Mr. Parkinson, a resident of German New Guinea, respecting a number of Indians from Hongkong who have been landed at Kuradui by a German mail-steamer, and in whom Mr. Parkinson has been good enough to interest himself.

On receipt of Mr. Parkinson's first letter a copy was sent to the Secretary of State for India and it was proposed to thank Mr. Parkinson for his action in the matter. As, however, it appears from his second letter that the Indian emigration from Hongkong is continuing in increased numbers and Mr. Parkinson surmises that this is due to a misapprehension on the part of the emigrants, Sir E. Grey considers it desirable to submit the correspondence to Lord

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
