Wai Wu Pu to His Majesty's Minister.
Sir:-
December 30th, 1909.
With reference to the question of installing a
Wireless Telegraph Station on the Pratas Islands we
have already had the honour to communicate with you
by memorandum a despatch of the Board of posts and
communications on this subject. We have now receiv-
ed another despatch from that Board forwarding a re-
quest from the Telegraph Administration as follows:-
*The British Minister suggests that China shall
send persons to the Hong-Kong Observatory to study
Astronomy and weather observations. The Administra-
tion would be very pleased to do this and are very
grateful for this kindness. It has been now decid-
ed to send five students to Hong-Kong for the above
purpose and we enclose a list of their names, ages and
native districts. We beg that you will communicate
with the British Minister and ask to be informed as
to the arrangements to be made for their reception
