I HAVE received your despatch No. 187 of the 21st April, inclosing a translation of the provisional Mining Regulations drawn up by the Board of Commerce, and officially communicated to you by the Board of Foreign Affairs.

I approve the terms of the note which you addressed to Prince Ching, pointing out that the Regulations were not in accordance with the spirit of Article IX of the Commercial Treaty of 1902, and that they could therefore not be accepted as a fulfilment of the undertaking therein contained.

I am, &c.
