ultimo, No: 2431/1902-3, stating that the Hong Kong and

Whampoa Dock Company have decided not to purchase the

land adjacent to Kowloon Marine lot No:27, I am directed

to acquaint you, for the information of Mr Secretary

Chamberlain, that the Secretary of State for War

concurs in the modification of the arrangement,

described

in the memorandum enclosed in War Office letter of the

WO 225286th June 1902, Hong Kong 8/135, by the omission of the
