FOREIGN TRADE DEPARTMENT, LANCASTER HOUSE, ST. JAMES, S.W. 15th August 1916.

Sir,

With reference to your letter of the 4th instant, (35124/1916) enclosing copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong relating to the detention of a shipment consigned to Messrs. Viegelmann & Co, of Manila, I am directed by Viscount Grey of Fallodon to transmit herewith, to be laid before the Secretary of State for the Colonies, copy of a telegram which has been sent to His Majesty's Consul-General at Manila, from which it will be seen that 6 cases have been detained ex S.S. "Antilochus" in addition to those detained ex "Teutonic".

In view of the fact that these shipments were passed by the British Customs, Lord Grey has caused the consignee to be informed that he will raise no objection to the release of the goods provided that the Bill of Lading is handed over duly endorsed by Messrs. Viegelmann to Mr. Samuel Murray, who will also be required to give guarantees as to the ultimate destination of the goods.

I am accordingly to request that, if Mr. Secretary Bonar Law sees no objection, instructions may be sent to the Governor of Hong Kong, by telegraph if possible, to release the goods in question upon receipt of advice from His Majesty's

The Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office, Whitehall, S.W.
