may be settled? Would Hi-Chamberlain recommend to Lord Salisbury that a telegram such as the following should be sent to the Governor?
Waay and 31 May You telegrams 30 Daar 31 May and despatches up to and including 28 April. Following is decision of H.M. Govt. Boundary already delimited. AM Substitute buddin w bz occup will be future boundary, and troops should be withdrawn from Sam Chun as soon as you and your adviser think this step can safely be taken. Viceroy should be informed that payment of indemnity is expected.
For Exper Caal Should be so informed and warned that any renewal of disturbances on the frontier or in the neighbouring district will involve fresh occupation of San Chun. If He should accept, informed also that it will be in view, also that the recent disturbances and intention of Chinese authority to exercise jurisdiction within the city of Kowloon which will henceforth be administered as the rest of the territory. This is the final decision of H.M. government. They are not prepared to make further demands on the Chinese government or Viceroy as such demands would inevitably lead to similar claims by other Powers. Unless you strongly press the point, to demand money compensation. Your efforts and those of your officers are fully appreciated.
CPL 31 May See 13929 also I appr CPL 1 June that it will be best to adopt the river boundary already delimited but I think that there is a case for demanding compensation for the failure of the Viceroy to prevent the attacks on the leased territory. I assume that the Chinese officials wish the British to continue exercising authority in Kowloon.
But I would be disposed to hold Sham Chun until the compensation is paid. It is already known that the Chinese officials exercise authority in Kowloon.
Let me know what you hear and missing the bond in S30 will be in the margin.
