This letter was forwarded by the Secretary

of State to Hongkong on the 13th. June, 1904, and Sir Matthew

3153) Nathan replied on the 30th. of the following month referring 27046 to Sir Henry Blake's Despatch No. 237 of the 28th. June, 1901,

and Mr. Chamberlain's reply of the 6th. September, 1901, adding

"it seems to me that the United States Government are within

"their rights in imposing such conditions on the issue of the

"health certificates required at their ports of entry as may

"appear to them to effectually guard against the importation

"of disease, and, though there have been a few cases in the past

*in which these rights have not been exercised with tact, and

"one in which the discharge of a duly engaged seaman in an

"illegal manner resulted from his not having been passed by the

"United States Consular Medical Officer, I do not think that it

"is at present requisite that any representation on the subject

"should be made to the United States Government. I shall watch

"the future working of the system communicating with you later

"in the matter, if necessary.

The Colonial Office on receiving Sir

Matthew Nathan's despatch replied to the Secretary of the

Chamber of Shipping on the 13th. September, 1904, as follows:-

"It appears that the system of inspection by United States

"Medical Officers at vessels about to leave Hongkong for

*United States ports is generally approved by the Masters and

"Owners of Ships, as it prevents the detention in quarantine at

"those ports, which would be insisted on, if the vessels left

"Hongkong without a certificate of health from the Doctors

"attached to the United States Consulate. The inconvenience

"entailed is, therefore, merely an alternative to the greater

"inconvenience (the risk of which it is open to them to incur)

"of being placed in quarantine at their ports of destination”.

"In the circumstances Mr. Lyttelton sees no reason for interfer-

"ing with the practice”.
