I have made a file on 1899, 21 June, No. 1580.

(Subject.)

Defences of Hong Kong.

DESPATCH.

C. O. 16600 Received.

* (Rec'd 21 JUN 1899)

Last previous Paper. Your Telegram of 19th June by mistake taken as referring to my telegram of 8 June is now understood.

** & L(78)~12053-18000-12-08

Next subsequent Paper.

You will see Sir W. Hamilton's minute.

(Minutes.)

I have seen that this is agreed on the tel. of 8 June.

It seems to be about Amoy, in which case, it would appear that permission from at home has been anticipated — a rather injudicious proceeding on Sir Henry Blake's part. If the W.O. or the Secretary of State had objected, he would have looked foolish.

You will see from the confidential despatch that we have received from the W.O.

W.O. ? Put by. A.F.

(unless you think we should communicate tel. now.)
