With reference to your letter of the 23rd
ultimo, 16805/1901, relative to certain land for a new
battery at Hong Kong, I am directed by the Secretary of
State for War to acquaint you, for the information of
Mr Secretary Chamberlain, that the battery referred to in
paragraph 2 of your letter as West Point Battery was
included in the list which accompanied War Office
letter dated 26th February, 1897, Hong Kong 5/3007/97,
under the name of Belcher Point Lower Battery, Emplace-
ments for two 12 pr: Q.F.guns.
2. It was subsequently decided to place the guns
outside Belcher Point Battery, and the site now in
question was selected as the most suitable for defence
purposes. It was suggested by the station that the name
West Point Battery should be used, but it has been
finally decided to adopt the title of Belcher Quarry
Battery.
3. With reference to paragraph 1 of your further
Bath
letter of the 17th instant, 37905/1901, I am to state
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial office.
