Therefore as is in record I deputed Lao Tee Fun
to proceed to Hong Kong to have Chung Hsiu-nan arrested
and at the same time made a reppesentation to you ask-
ing you to telegraph to H.E. the Governor of Hong Kong
requesting him to direct the Superintendent of Pelios
to arrest Okung Hsiu-nan and to instruct the Russian
Bank to detain the money. Now Lao Yee Fun has report-
od by telegraph that he has had Okung Hsiu-nạn
arrested by the Hongkong detectives and detained in
the Police Station. It appears to me that Ohung Hsiu-
nan's guilt is perfectly clear, and since he has been
arrested by the Pelios at your telegraphio request,
he ought to be extradited to Canton for trial. There-
fore as is my duty, I hereby send this despatok, pray-
ing that you will telegraph to H.E. the Governor of
(
Hongkong to have the criminal Chung Hsiu-nan handed
over to the deputy Lau Yee Fun to bring back to Canton
for trial, so as to strengthen our national firendship
