Enclosure. 29th Jany.

I have the honour to transmit the enclosed

report by the Captain Superintendent of Police for the year

1899.

1900. With Six. spare copies.

2. The report shows an increase on serious crime, but the conditions during a great part of the year were not formal, and there is no doubt that the neighbouring Chiñese territory was last year and still is on a disturbed state which must re-act upon this Colony. The decrease on crime in the New Territory during the last quarter of the year is satisfactory.

3. With regard to paragraph & of the report the Police have for some time past taken steps to search for arns male passengers embarking at HongKong for the various places in the New Territory and outside of it to which they ply, and I anticipate that this action may have a beneficial effect in preventing piracies not only in the waters of the Colony but on Chinese waters éls0.

4. Fourteen stations were opened during the year in the New Territory. At some of these the men have suffer- ed a great deal from Malaria, but I am in hopes that now that permanent stations have been erected an improvement in health

will follow.

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M. P.
