A letter from Sir G. W. des Voeux was written with regard to these Islands, but the Colonial Secretary has not been informed of the date of this letter & I am unable to trace it.

5. It is possible that the letter to which Sir G. W. des Voeux referred was Col. Sect's letter of July 26, 1887, enclosed in your letter in reply. If this is not so, I would be glad if the Officer Commanding Hongkong would be requested to show me the letter in question, and also furnish me with a full reply to the letter of 30th May.

I am most desirous that all outstanding questions with regard to military requirements in Hong Kong should be settled.

6. Whatever may be decided with regard to the rights, if any, of the War Department over the whole of the land coloured yellow on plan A, Mr. Lyttelton gathers that the Army Council now only asks for rights over the land included in red dotted line on the larger plan and do not require the land coloured yellow on plan A.

7. Copies of this correspondence with G.O.C.
