Enemy Proclamations, and His Majesty's Minister at
Pekin is being instructed by telegraph to issue
"Urgent" King's Regulations accordingly.

Jordan is however not at present in possession of the
Proclamations, and as it is understood that they have
already been telegraphed to Hong Kong, Sir E. Grey

instructed by telegraph to forward to Pekin the text
of the Trading with the Enemy Act, and of the Procla-
mations of September 9th, October 8th, and October
It would also be convenient if copies of the
