352 Sir,

With reference to the second paragraph of your despatch No.234 of the 13th ultimo, I have the honour to inform you that I do not propose to obtain more than one or two of the Sugar-mills referred to, and that it is intended to pay for them in the first instance out of colonial funds. These mills will not be given to the Chinese, but lent to them for a sufficiently long period to have their utility proved and to interest the native Sugar-refiners in their working. If their introduction yields satisfactory results, the mills will be sold.

I may add that this system worked well with cotton gins in the Bahamas.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Humble Servant.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P., &c.
