The Gentry have been compelled to enter into a
bond to keep the people in Luklac quiet.

The Gentry and the officials concerned will go
on board the "Robin" and make a formal apology to
Lieutenant Commander Webster when an Officer of this
Consulate will be present.
Arrangements for the last of these conditions
being carried out are now being made with Lieutenant &
Commander Webster.
It is to be regretted that no person throwing
the stones has been arrested. I am inclined to believe
that the Authorities are unable to bring the outrage home
to the actual perpetrators. If I insisted I could probably get a few wretched coclies beaten, but I am sure you will agree that that would not be very satisfactory.
The Viceroy in his despatch to me states that he has
reiterated his stringent orders for their discovery and
punishment.
With this exception I am of opinion that the
above settlement of the case when completely carried out
will be sufficient and will prevent any repetition of
the outrages.
I have, eto,
(S) B. C. George Scott,
H. M. Consul General.
