I have the honour to transmit for your information
the enclosed copy of correspondence with the Senior Naval Officer
at Hongkong concerning the attitude of the Philippine Government
in the watter of the export of coal from Manila since the declara-
tion of war between England and Germany.
If you have not already been in communication with
His Majesty's Government on the subject I shall be obliged if you
will furnish me with such information as you may be able to obtain
on the following points;-
(a). What has been the ostensible destination of vessels
exporting coal from Manila since the beginning of the
war.
(b). Is there, under normal conditions, any export of coal
from Manila to such ports.
(c). Is there any reason, and if so, what is the reason, to
believe that the coal was intended for the German
Squadron.
(d). Were any unusual facilities given by the Authorities at
Manila for the clearance of coal laden vessels, 0.g. a8
to notice of clearance and time of sailing. (Note. It is alleged that some vessels were allowed to clear late at
night).
(e). Were the vessels that have been used in the export of coal since the outbreak of war regular colliers,
I have, etc.
