Enclosure 1.

Sir,

In continuation of my Confidential Despatch of the 8th ultimo, I have the honour to transmit the enclosed copy of a Proclamation which the Viceroy of the Two Kwang has issued exhorting the inhabitants of the Province of Kwangsi to emigrate to South Africa. This Proclamation was posted at Wuchow on the 6th instant and has, I understand, been widely published throughout Kwangsi.

2.

The only exception that can be taken to its wording is in respect of paragraph 10, which is not in accordance with clause 3 of the provisional arrangement entered into by Mr. C. W. Campbell with Mr. Wen Tsung-yao, of which a copy was sent to you with my last Despatch. This clause stipulated that intending emigrants should be brought to Wuchow by the Chinese Authorities at the expense of the latter.

Mr. Campbell is in communication on this subject with Mr. Wen Tsung-yao, in the absence of the Viceroy who is still at Kweilin, and Messrs. Butterfield and Swire - the local Agents of the South African Labour Association - have, at my suggestion, declared their willingness if necessary...
