I have the honour to report for the information

of the Secretary of State in continuation of our letter of the 20th of September that the sum of £400,000 was duly paid by us, on behalf of the Government of Hong Kong, on the 6th instant to the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank to be applied towards the repayment of the Loan obtained by the Viceroy of Wuchang from the branch of the Bank at Hankow. The equivalent in dollars of the sum of £700,000 was also paid on the same day, on behalf of the Government of Hong Kong, to the Chinese Minister at New York and s receipt was taken from him in accordance with the terms stated in the telegram from the Covernor of Hong Kong received at the Colonial Office on the 3rd of October.t

2. A slight difficulty arose in telegraphing the form of receipt out to New York, as our Agents did not possess a code suitable for the purpose, and it seemed undesirable that the message should go in clear. We therefore approached the Foreign Office privately, and Kr Campbell kindly consented to telegraph the form of receipt to the Consul General at New York to be communi- cated by him to our Agents there.
