RECE REC 24 MAR 06
his Majesty's Consulate-General,
Canton, 6th. January, 1908.
Sic.
I beg to enclose copy of a Telegram, which 1
have this day forwarded to His Majesty's Minister, in regard to
certain coal mortgaged to the National Bank. This Telegram covers
the suostance of a reply (just received) from the Viceroy to the
representations, which I had addressed to niw on bus sucject.
The Viceroy cersists in claiming that there
is collusion between Fung and Chou, and he ignores my request to
withdraw the notice to sell the coal. de merely states that he had
come to that decision a month before the receipt of my orotest.
1 am forwarding, for Your excellency's in-
-formation, copy and translation of the letter as soon as possible.
i have etc.,
(Sa.) James Scout,
Consul-General.

Sir Matthew Nathan, K,C.M.G.,
