His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General presents his compli-
-ments to the Tu Tu and has the honour, under instructions from
His Majesty's Minister, to formulate, on behalf of the Green Island Cement Company, a specific claim in respect of the losses
which they have suffered sustained as a consequence of the action of the Kuangtung Government in cutting off supplies of limestone.
Since the interview on the 28th. January, at which this

Foreign Affairs on the lines then suggested by the Tu Tu, but
unfortunately they have not resulted in any modification of the
status quo ante. The local representative of the Company has call-

on what basis a modus vivendi, satisfactory to both parties,
could be arranged but has been categorically informed that, unless
all idea of a claim for damages were abandoned, further negotiat-

All friendly methods, therefore, of arriving at at solution

Minister has no alternative but to notify the Chinese Government
that a claim for damages past, and, should the present hostile
attitude be maintained, to come,
lies against them and Mr. Jamieson
has accordingly the honour to inform the Tu Tu of this fact.
In doing so he would express regret that all offers, which
he has made as to purchase of stone quarried, and all proposals
which he has put forward as to continued working have been re-
-jected, also that his request as to explicit information with
regard to a settlement on "commercial lines", first mentioned by
the Tu Tu, has been ignored.
His contention that the Green Island Company's contracts
were carried out with the full knowledge and approval of the late
Imperial Government has not and cannot be refuted, and the
cardinal circumstance of the insertion in Ch'en Tu Tu's proclama-
