Government House, Hongkong, 7th July, 1896.

Sir,

I have the honour to forward for your consideration the enclosed copy of a despatch from Sir Claude Macdonald, dated 25th April, 1896, with 2 sub-enclosures.

Encl: 1 - 25th April, 1896. Correspondence which has passed between Her Majesty's Minister in Peking and the Chinese Government regarding certain questions.

Encl: 2 - 1/6/96.

Encl: 3 - 17/6/96.

The Right Honourable Joseph Chamberlain, M.P.,

I am surprised that Sir Claude Macdonald should have raised such a question. I would be a considerable bar to the progress of matters in the colony.

From the point of view of expediency, I would be glad if the matter could be dealt with from the standpoint of commercial considerations.
