Sir:-

In accordance with the request contained in your

Yux

letter No. 35804/1903 of the 5th. instant, I am di-

rected by the Marquess of Lansdowne to return herewith

the original enclosures of the despatch of August 21st

from the Governor of Hongkong respecting the murder of

a Chinaman in that Colony in March last.

Lord Lansdowne agrees with the suggestion of the

Secretary of State for the Colonies contained in the

last paragraph of your letter, that, besides demanding

the trial of the perpetrators and instigators of the

crime, the action of Admiral Ho and the other Chinese

officials implicated should be brought to the notice

of the Chinese Government with a view to their severe

punishment.

The despatch, of which a copy is enclosed, has

accordingly been addressed to His Majesty's Minister

e Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
