GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. th. August, 1913.
With reference to my Secret Despatch of the
1st. instant, I have the honour to inform you that on the oth. instant Tsen Chun-hsun arrived in the Colony from Lacao, whither he had apparently fled when he found that he was unable to exert any influence in Kwangtung or Kwan si in support of the revolution against the Central Government, and went on board a Japanese stomer while some of his suite went ashore to purchase tickets for Nagasaki. These were refused on instructions from the Japanese Consul who told the Secretary for Chinese Affairs that he had taken
this step on his own responsibility. Tickets for 3hongani by the
some stealer were then taken by the party. Later Teen declared that
he would not go to Shanghai as he did not think he would be safe
there. He asked for permission to remain in tuis Colony. This I felt justified in refusing as I judged that had I included Tsen's
name along the persons to whom by the authority of our telegram 27000
of the oth. instant the hospitality of the Colony is to be denied
you would have approved its inclusion. I did not include it as at
the time of making my recommendation he had not declared himself,
to my knowledge, as such a violent enemy of the resident. Toen
issued the most violent denunciations of the Prosident while he
was in Canton and made urgent appeals to General Lung and to the
Governor of Kwon si to throw off their allegiance to the Central
Government.
