Sir,

With reference to your letter of the 2nd March
1899, relating to the payment of Crown Rents for property acquired by the War Department at Hong Kong, I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you for the information of the Secretary of State for War, that

mentioned in paragraph 4 of the same letter, and in War Office letter of 29th November 1898, were acquired from

the Hong Kong Government was actually paid a capital sum on
account of Crown Rent on the property in question.

I am,
