Sir C. MacDonald to Sir Edward Grey.—(Received September 29.) £26 OCT 06

I AM in receipt of a note from the Japanese Government informing me that, with the object of giving every possible facility to foreigners who have left immovable property behind in districts within the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Kwantung, it has been decided that applications for the establishment of rights in connection with such property may be made to the Japanese Foreign Office through the medium of the official Representative in Japan of the applicant's country, without necessitating a visit by the owner or his agent.

All applications are to be accompanied by documentary proof, giving a list of the property, its nature, quantity and value, and the date. It is stated that the application should be in Japanese, but, when unavoidably necessary, it may be made out in English or French.

I am forwarding a copy of this despatch to His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires in Peking, with a suggestion that it may be advisable to inform certain of His Majesty's Consular officers in China of the above.

I am also forwarding a copy to the Governor of Hong Kong.
