MR. HILLIER'S telegram of yesterday.
Peking, March 10, 1911.
German, American, and French Ministers have, I understand, approved proposal, and if Germans and Americans are satisfied we have no reason to object.
Our great interest lies in construction of Canton-Hankow line, which we should hasten at all cost.
