Shan Chun should eventually be restored to China.
Lord Salisbury would however propose compensation on account of the Expense incurred owing to the Chinese resistance to the transfer of the leased territory, that a large indemnity should be asked for understanding that Her Majesty's Government will forego payment of it in whole or in part provided that Satisfaction be given by the Chinese Government in other matters. Lord Salisbury, would suggest that the Draft Telegram to Hongkong should be amended accordingly.
Your most obedient humble servant
