With reference to my despatch of February

7th., I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that I have

continued to urge the ai Wu Pu to take steps for the prohibi-

-tion of the export of prepared opium from China to Hongkong,

and to meet Your Excellency's wishes in issuing this prohibi-

-tion under an Imperial Decree.

On February 26th., I received a semi-

-official letter from the "ai Wu Pu, translation of which I

have the honour to enclose, stating that they are in tele- -graphic communication with the Viceroy at canton upon this subject, and that as soon as they receive a reply they will

communicate with me officially on the question.

I have etc.,

(sd.) J. N. Jordan.

Sir F. D. Lugard, K.C.M.G., C.B., D.5.0.,
