Sir:-
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to
transmit to you herewith copy of a telegram from His
Majesty's Minister at Peking containing a suggestion
that a portion of the German garrison of Kiaochow
should be interned at Hong Kong.
Sir E. Grey concurs in Sir J. Jordan's view that
the object-lesson which would be provided by the
proposed internment would be very effective. Before
however approaching the Japanese Government with the
suggestion he would be glad to know how far it is
practicable and how many of the prisoners could be
interned in the Colony.

Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
