Government House, Hongkong, 29th November, 1907.

In continuation of my despatch No.286 of the 22nd instant asking that I may be furnished with a complete statement of the Military expenditure borne by the Imperial Government on behalf of this Colony, I have the honour to submit the following observations.

2. Appendix 21 of the Army Estimates for 1907-08 contains an apparently complete statement of the sums appropriated under each Vote for each of the Colonies and the total for Hongkong appears as £293,080. I am however informed by Colonel C. H. Darling, R.E., Chief Engineer, South China (who is acting for the General Officer Commanding) that this sum does not include Loan Expenditure on works, or charges under Vote 9 "Armaments and Engineer Stores" (heavy guns, he adds, cost up to £10,000). In the Estimates of the previous year,
