No. 167.
The Commissioner of Foreign Affairs has received
verbal instructions from the Tutu with regard to the question of
the supply of limestone to the Green Island Cement Company.
His Majesty's Consul-General wrote to the Tutu to
arrange a date for holding a conference for the purpose of arriving at a settlement and on the 28th. instant, accompanied by representa

the Tutu and the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Jamieson
started by asserting that the Industrial Commissioner had acted
in contravention of treaty. On the Tutu's asking to what treaty
provision he referred, Mr. Janies on replied that there was no need
to discuss that; the Green Island Cement Works were in urgent need
of limestone and the contractors had no stone to sell them. He
specially requested that the Green Island Cement Company might be
allowed to purchase the stone confiscated under the mining regula-

The Tutu emphasized his dubies that diplomatic
negotiations and business transactions should be kept quite dis-

would confuse such distinctions and tend to obscure the issues. As
His Majesty's Consul-General's sole intention is to prefer a
request on behalf of merchants, and as it is necessary to dispose
of the confiscated stone, the Government will make no difference
& between Chinese and foreign purchasers,/can grant the request to
allow purchase of the stone.
The Commissioner of Foreign Affairs will be glad if
