C. O. 21344

Confidential

June 21, 1905.

With reference to my letter of the 15th instant, I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to transmit to you, herewith, copies of telegrams from His Majesty's Minister at Pekin containing further information respecting the application of the Viceroy at Canton for a loan from this country to buy up the American shares in the Hankow-Canton Railway Concession.

It will be observed that the Viceroy is anxiously awaiting a reply to his proposals and that the issue of this loan will involve other Concessions and generally affect British interests in the Yangtse Valley and South China which will be greatly advanced by an assurance of assistance from this country, while an unfavourable reply may react adversely on the negotiations for the Canton-Kowloon Railway.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
