sir,
British Consulate,
San Juan, P.R.
Jan. 26th 1915.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your Communication No. 624/4 dated January 25th, 1915,
in which you bring to my notice that your Office is
in receipt of a letter from the German Consul at this
port, wherein he requests permission to hand over to
me the responsibility of the bond and maintenance
until departure, of twelve Chinese at present on board
the "K.D.III", who having been born in Hongkong claim
to be British subjects, and also requesting to be
informed whether I, as Consul for Great Britain, am
willing to sign a bond in $500. for each of the above
twelve Chinese and will provide for their maintenance
until they depart from here.
In reply I beg to state that under the circum-
stances I am not prepared to sign the bond aforesaid,
nor
lir. Arthur S. Hibler,
Acting Commissioner
U.S. Department of Labor,
Immigration Service,
San Juan P.R.
