P 10 AUG 08

1908.

Referring to my despatch of March 3rd.,

74

and to my telegram of yesterday, I have the honour to enclose

a translation of a note from the Wai Wu Pu, dated March 24th.

in which the measures taken by the chinese Government to meet

Your Excellency's wishes in regard to the prohibition of the

export of prepared opium from China to Hongkong are stated.

A memorial was presented to the Throne on March 22nd. to the

effect that His Majesty's Government had agreed that both

countries should take steps to stop smuggling, and recommending

that the trade in prepared opium to Hongkong from China should

be prohibited; an Imperial Rescript sanctioning the memorial

has been issued, and also instructions to the Provincial

Authorities concerned; and the Viceroy of Canton has ordered

all Customs and Likin stations and Local Authorities to take

preventive measures, and has issued a proclamation.

I have the honour to request that I may

be informed by telegraph as soon as Your Excellency has taken

the steps referred to in paragraph 4 of your despatch of

January 15th., 1908 (No. 10208/1908).

I have etc.,

(Sd.) Stephen Leech,

for H. M's. Minister.
