(Enclosure to No. 185 of the 20th June, 1904.
Viceroy Ts'en to Mr. Campbell),
(Translation.)
From
16th June, 1904.
SIR,--With reference to the HUNG TSUN-FUK case, I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your Despatch of the 5th instant stating that you had communicated the contents of my Despatch on the subject to the Government of Hongkong, who had replied that when all the terms of settlement mentioned in the Imperial Edict had been duly carried out, the case might then be considered as definitely closed.
I was on the point of drafting a reply to you, when a communication on the subject came to hand from the Wai Wu Pu. The Wai Wu Pu therein informed me that, having received from the Grand Council a copy of the Imperial Edict issued in answer to the memorial presented by me detailing the circumstances of the case and asking for the punishment of those implicated, they forwarded the same, together with a copy of my original memorial to the British Minister, who had expressed his acknowledgments for such a very satisfactory settlement.
When the Imperial Edict above referred to was telegraphed to me, I immediately sent copies to the various officials concerned for their guidance, as well as one to you for your information. Since then Admiral Ho CHANG-CH'ING has been removed from his post; and the vacancies caused by the dismissal of the other officers implicated have been filled by temporary substitutes. The terms of settlement have thus been carried out in full; and I would therefore ask you to inform the Governor of Hongkong accordingly.
I have, &c.,
(Viceroy's Seal.)
