India Office to Foreign Office.--(Received August 16.)
India Office, August 15, 1906.
WITH reference to my letter of the 10th May last, I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to forward herewith, for the information of Sir E. Grey, copy of a telegram which has been received from the Government of India, stating that they consider Chinese and Shan co-operation in the construction of the Bhamo--Tengyueh Railway desirable.
Mr. Morley agrees with the view taken by the Government of India, and would suggest that instructions should now be given to His Majesty's Consul-General at Yunnan-fu to continue the negotiations for the construction of the line within Chinese territory on this basis.
Inclosure in No. 1.
I am, &c.
