Sir:-

AK

With reference to my letter of the 18th of Ap-

ril last, I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne

to transmit to you, to be laid before Mr. Secretary

Lyttelton, a copy of a despatch from His Majesty's

Ambassador at St. Petersburg, forwarding a transla-

tion of a Note which His Excellency has received

from the Russian Government on the subject of Mr.

A.H. Rennie's claim for compensation in consequence

of the detention of the Steamships Calchas" and "Ara-

bia" at Vladivostok.

Lord Lansdowne would be glad to be favoured

with any observations which Mr. Lyttelton may de-

aire to offer on the Russian reply.

I am,

sir,

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Hb Macustell
