Telegram will follow.

Come back to Hong Kong when the papers from M. Chamberlain arrive, we can, if the latter omits, telegraph giving indication of action desired, affirming intention, if he thinks fit.

Walter will arrive on the 17th.

It is no use to consult the I.D.

As Lord Salisbury is away, we should send them copies of any telegrams received or sent.

Wait for Pixley's reply.

Suggested that the telegram was held back by Sir J. Wingfield's instructions.

The former papers have now returned from M. Chamberlain, and I have spoken further to Mr. Villiers. He sent our letter of the 3rd inst. to Lord Salisbury yesterday, telling him, as he had presumed Mr. Chamberlain would decide what answer should be sent.

The S.C. concurs, I understand, in the terms of the letter, and I have drafted a telegram which should, I think, be sent at once.

Mr. Villiers tells me that Lord Salisbury concurs in our view as to the customs stations, and that a telegram will be sent to Pekin on the subject.

I do not think it had better refer to the rather obscure telegram from the Governor on 23rd March (No. 9840).

C.P.L.

Copy of Sir A. Blake's 5 April telegram to our Consul-General to be sent to S.C.
