My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have had before them your letter of the 15th October last, No.37085, in which you forward a copy of correspondence which has passed
between the Secretary of State for the Colonies and the
Governor of Hong Kong on the subject of the regulations regarding the anchorage of Foreign men-of-war in Hong Kong
waters.
2.- In reply, My Lords desire me to request you will represent to Mr Secretary Lyttelton that, in their opinion, such restrictions as those imposed on Foreign Men-of-war by paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Hong Kong Colonial Order of the 26th June last go beyond the intention of Clause 6 of the Colonial Defence Committee's Memorandum No.186 M of the 21st July 1899, in which it is laid down that "in regard to "restrictions on the place of berthing of foreign ships of "war in Colonial Ports, it is open to Colonial Governments to "berth Foreign men-of-war and transports entering the harbour "in such a position as to preclude the possibility of the "defences of the port being taken at a disadvantage, special "care being taken in such cases to allege the general convenience of the port as the ground for the arrangement".
