Hannibal has been informed by the Conference
Steamship Lines that in future they are unable to carry cargo
for him. A telegram received by the P. and 0. Steamship Co. from Mortlemen, London Secretary of the Conference Committee on
the 25th September in reply to a private letter from Hewett
The telegramis 西师 dated the 7th August is the cause of this.
follows:-
The British Government is of opinion that with the exception of Arnhold you should not trade with the shippers
Aat accord- referred to nor should trade with Hannibal. ingly, Arnhold has been officially recognised as British, Hannibal has been recognised here as British firm. I am satisfied that he has severed all connections with
Wendt & Co. and he has lately taken a British partner. The only objection I have is that his agent in Canton is Huygen who is a Dutchman and is also representing Wendt & Co. at
Canton. But he is taking steps to replace him as soon as
possible by a British agent.
I therefore trust that the Conference Lines may be
authorised by H„M's Government to ship cargo for Hannibal.
