The Chinese Minister called at this office to-day

and, in communicating the telegram from Li Hung Chang

copy of which is enclosed, requested that instruc-

tions might be sent to the Governors of Hongkong and

the Straits Settlements to adopt stringent measures

to prevent all suspicious Chinese Insurrectionists

from organizing in those British Colonies rebellion

in the Chinese provinces and from exporting arms, &c.

I informed Sir Chichen Loh Feng-luh that the

Governor of Hongkong had been instructed to deport

any Chinese agitators whose proceedings might justify

such treatment and that the export of arms to China

had been prohibited. I also suggested to the Minis-

ter that the Chinese authorities should

communicate

to the Acting British Consul General at Shanghai any

information that they obtained regarding Chinese agi-

tators
