FOREIGN OFFICE.

August 4th, 1905.

276

Sir,

I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to state that his attention has been drawn to the enclosed extract from the Journal des Fabricants de Sucre of the 5th of July last, in which it is stated that a considerable quantity of the 1903-4 sugar crop in the Philippines is destined for local refineries.

In view, however, of the large amount of sugar said to have been so appropriated, it seems to His Lordship doubtful whether the word "raffineries" in the enclosed extract is not a mistake for "consommation".

I have to instruct you to report whether any sugar refineries are now in actual operation in the Philippine Islands, and, if such is the case, as to the extent of the annual output of refined sugar.

In the event, however, of there being no refineries...

J. Kenny,

Esq.,

&c., &c., &c.

Manila.
