CHINEBE LEGATION,

September 16th, 1907.

Your Excellency:-

have the honour to acknowledge the re-

ceipt of your note of the 11th instant acquainting

me of the measures taken by the Government of Hong-

kong for the prevention of the export of arms and

munitions of war into China, which formed the subject

of my note of May 23rd last.

The measures are comprehensive, and well

thought out, and it is sincerely hoped they will

lead to such good results as expected.

I also take special note of the measure,

enumerated (c), namely, "Export to Macao has been

temporarily suspended", the adoption of which may in-

volve some inconvenience to the British mercantile

community in that Colony.

I have already telegraphed the gist of
