Enclosure a who 458 & 553

From G.O.C. in China & Hongkong-To H.E. The Governor of Hongkong.

Sir,

Hongkong, November 13th, 1899.

I have the honor to report that in accordance with instructions received from Your Excellency, the Camp at Sheung Po close to the town of Shan Chun has this day been finally broken up, and the troops have all quitted the Territory outside the leased zone. I have quartered a force of the Hongkong Regiment, not far distant, in our own Territory with the object of preventing the appearance in the minds of the Chinese, of our having been driven out, or of our having left Sheung Po otherwise than voluntarily, and I hope that thus disorders and risings will be rendered less likely; although it is difficult to say, seeing the peculiar disposition of the Chinese, that troubles will not arise as soon as our troops have left.

From G.0.0. in China & Hongkong-

Sir,

Hongkong,

November 13th, 1

1899.

I have the honor to report that in accordance

with instructions received from Your Excellency, the

Camp at Sheung Po close to the town of Shan Chun has

this day been finally broken up, and the troops have all

quitted the Territory outside the leased zone. I have

quartered a force of the Hongkong Regiment, not far dis-

tant, in our own Territory with the object of preventing

the appearance in the minds of the Chinese, of our having

been driven out, or of our having left Sheung Po other-

wise than voluntarily, and I hope that thus disorders

and risings will be rendered less likely; although it is

difficult to say, seeing the peculiar disposition of the

Chinese, that troubles will not arise as soon as our troops

have left.
