shipmate of army and ammunition

from

the

Colony

which there is some

reason to fear may be ultimately

destined for use

against the Imperial

Chinese Government, I have issued a Proclamation, a copy of which is enclosed, prohibiting the exportation

of warlike stores from the Colony, except under special permission, for a period

of six months from the 28th ultimo. The legitimate trade in arms and

ammunition will not, I trust, suffer by this measure, as warlike stores can still be exported by special

permission

28th Nov! 1899 (with 5 spaces)

permission granted

granted under Ordinance

3 of 1884, but I shall take care

that such permission is not

granted

except under such conditions as shall preclude the

possibility of the stores being

used to subvert the authority

of the Chinese Government.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your

obedient

humble servant,

William Robinson
