Sir,

With reference to your letter No.45669/1903 of the 21st January 1904, enclosing a copy of Despatch No.523 from the Governor of Hong Kong with regard to the boundary between the Naval and War Department property commanded by the line marked J.X.Y.Z. and the Eastern Praya Extension, I am directed by the Army Council to transmit the following observations for the information of Mr. Secretary Lyttelton.

2. The contention raised in paragraph 3 of the Governor's despatch No.523, viz: that the War Department reclamation has been extended beyond a line mutually agreed upon in 1899, is based upon a misapprehension as to the nature of the concurrence of the War Office indicated by the Commodore in his letter of 9th October 1899 forming an Enclosure (No.I) to that despatch.

The "revised scheme for the War Department reclamation" referred to in that enclosure was submitted by the Admiralty for War Office concurrence in substitution for one previously agreed upon. It involved a very material alteration in the line of the seaward frontage
