I have seen no such flags as to which you refer,

but there are two flags down with the Hong Kong Regiment

They were taken

at Kowloon which should be examined.

at the action of Lam Chun pass. Mr. May saw them sæe A

resident of Sam Chun confirms information already conveye

to you that over 1000 men from Chinese Territory took

i

part in the fighting and alleged that Major Fong" who

was stationed at Sam Cham must have known what was going

on and took no step to stop the movement

This confirms the Chinese letter already forwarded

by me from Ping Shan stating that you are allowed IXXXra

to carry out your settled plan.
