RECO

(Feet 12 SEP 04)

With reference to my despatch No.155 or

Juns 29th and to Mr Brenan's despatch No.32 of June

19th, a copy was sent direct to Your Lordship, I

have the honour to inclose a further despatch from

Me Brenan referring to comments in the Press on a

telegram which at the instance of the Chinese Go-

vernment I sent to the Governor of Hong Kong sugges-

ting that the Directors of the Chinese Tung Wah

Hospital should issue notices calculated to calm

the public excitement and restrain the popular fer-

ment against foreigners at Canton. I have the

honour to inclose to Your Lordship a copy of this

telegram and of Sir William Robinson's reply.

I have C.,

(Signed)

N. R. O'Conor.
