I have the honour to forward herewith for
your information copy of a despatch, and its en-
closures, addressed to me by the Governor of Hong-
kong, regarding the status of German property and
of German subjects on Shamden.
At Bir Henry May's request I proceeded on
the 11th instant to Hongkong and had an interview
with His Excellency and General Kelly. The lat-
ter was anxious that the views, to which he has
given expression in enclosure No. 3, should be
cabled to London, and, should that have been done,
I should have reported to you by telegraph.
Now,
however, that they are embodied in the form of
despatch I have not thought it necessary to do so.
In
Sir John Jordan, G.C.I.E., K.C.B., K.C.M.O...,
His Majesty's Minister,
ING
