Yamen, Canton, August 16, 1889.'

My Dear Mr Alabaster,

was

His Excellency the Viceroy

exceedingly surprised to receive

your telegram last night, Immediately

on its receipt, telegrams

the military

were

sent to

authorities. His Excellency

does not think that the rumour has

any foundation; but,

of course, in

of

case of accident, the Kowloon officials

will be held responsible,

I write this by instruction of His Excellency the Viceroy .

Yours very Inly, (Signed) Foai Sih.
