Addressed to Commander-in-Chief No. 6.
My telegram No. 1791 to Foreign Office.
Japanese Minister is informed by his govern-
ment that Commander of Makou Pescadores naval
station has been instructed to cause Uji chiefly
to patrol Bias bay in co-operation with British
men-of-war and to despatch in case of necessity one
or two destroyers to assist Ujl."
I presume you will arrange any necessary
details.
I am anxious for political reasons that we
should show that we welcome this concrete evidence
of Anglo-Japanese co-operation.
Repeated to Foreign Office No. 8, Canton,
Hongkong and Tokyo.
