What I have just said is what has trathfully occurred; and. therefore, the bases on which His Excellency the Civil Governor of Kwangtong has made his request are wanting. If these bases were true, it would have been a case of cruelty; and, in such an event, the Portuguese Authorities would have been truly under responsi- bilities. But such is not so and the quation is limited to an incident of internal order, which it behoves only the Portuguese Government to see to and which in no way can affect the prestige of the Government of the Province of Kwangtung.
