Referring to my telegram of 6th May Viceroy Canton

will not permit recruitment of Transvaal coolies pend-

ing instructions from Weiwupo. Urge strongly recruiting

under Convention for Hong Kong embarkation port

should be authorized by Chinese Goverment. Hong Kong

deep sea port of Om ton. Vessels conveying ChineRe

Emigrants carot proceed toCanton on account of too

great draught. Elimination of Hong Kong will cause

very serious curtailment supply of South Chinu coclies.
