Sir:-

I am directed by the Earl of Kimberley to trans-

mit to you herewith copy of a despatch from Her

Majesty's Minister in China enclosing copy of Sanita-

ry Regulations which, in view of the epidemic at

Hongkong, he has authorised Her Majesty's Consul

General at Shanghai to issue.

In laying this despatch before the Marquis of

Ripon, I am to request you to state, that with His

Lordship's concurrence Lord Kimberley proposes to

approve these Regulations, in view of the similar

steps which have already been authorized in Japan.

I am,

sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Pofily.

The Under Secretary of State
