SECTION 1.
Sir,
Foreign Office to India Office.
WITH reference to the letter from this Department of the 4th instant relative to
Foreign Office, May 26, 1905. the Namting-Nalawt section of the Burmah-Chinese frontier, I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to transmit to you herewith, to be laid before the Secretary of State for India, a copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Minister at Peking on the subject.*
It appears from this despatch that the Chinese Government, in their note to Sir E. Satow of the 30th March last, refuse to recognize the line laid down by Sir George Scott as a provisional frontier,
Lord Lansdowne would propose, subject to Mr. Secretary Brodrick's concurrence, to approve Sir E. Satow's suggestion that the note should be ignored for the present. Attention has already been called in my letter of the 4th instant to the question of exercising supervision over the provisional frontier line.
I &c.
anı,
(Signed)
F. A. CAMPBELL.
