Sir,

With reference to Your Excellency's enquiri-

-es respecting the measures to be taken to prohibit the export

of prepared opium from China to Hongkong, we have the honour to

state that we have telegraphed to the Viceroy at Canton to

frame measures for such prohibition to be enforced, and to

bring them to the knowledge of the public by issuing proclama-

tions calling for observance of the same.

As regards restricting the importation of

opium from Turkey, Persia and other countries, the import from

Turkey and Persia which are not Treaty Powers -

can be

regulated by China herself, and we have already communicated

with the Revenue Department on this subject in order that

measures may be taken.

As soon as replies are received on both

these questions we shall communicate officially with Your

Excellency. In the meantime we have the honour to make this

preliminary reply, and we avail etc.,

(Sd.) Prince Ch'ing and Ministers.
