AUG OF

The Marquess of Lansdowne to Sir E. Satow.

Foreign Office, July 25, 1901.

(No. 174.) Sir,

I TRANSMIT to you herewith a copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong, inclosed in a letter from the Colonial Office dated the 15th July, in which he states that the French Consul at Canton has informed Mr. Fung Wa Chun, a Chinese gentleman who lives in Hong Kong, and who is seeking a Concession for the establishment of waterworks for supplying water to Canton, that unless he agrees that the capital for the waterworks should be obtained in France, his Concession, if obtained, would not be confirmed, as an Agreement had been made with France that no Concession should be granted in Kwangtung or Kwangsi except to Frenchmen or with the consent of the French Consul.

Mr. Fung has since obtained a copy of the Agreement. I request that you will ascertain whether there is any truth in the statement.

I am, &c.

(Signed)

LANSDOWNE.
