sir,

31st March, 1897.

I am directed by the Secretary of State for War to

acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 30th November

last No. 22486/96, enclosing copy of a dispatch, and its

enclosures from the Governor of Hong Kong, on the subject of

lands at Kowloon over which the War Office exercises certain

rights for defence purposes.

In reply I am to inform you that Lord Lansdowne hes

no wish to dispute that there is a substantial difference

between Colonial Military Lands, of which the War Office

enjoys full use, and lands over which, while remaining in the

possession of the Colony or its tenants, the Wer Office only

enjoys restrictive powers, as against the erection of

buildings &c., With regard to lands of the latter class, he

is quite prepared to admit that the War Office has no claim,

To the Under Secretary of State,

For the Colonies.
