Sir,

C.O. 16754 HEAD 11 MAY 08

PEKING, 31st March, 1908.

In my despatch No.107 of the 30th instant, I had the honour to enclose translation of a Note from the Waiwupu, informing me that telegraphic instructions had been sent to the Viceroy at Canton to take the necessary steps for prohibiting the export of prepared opium from China into Hongkong.

I have now received a communication from the Waiwupu, of which I have the honour to enclose a translation herewith, stating that the Viceroy has taken effective action locally, and that an Imperial Rescript has been issued prohibiting trade in prepared opium with Hongkong.

In accordance with the request of the Chinese Government, I have communicated with the Governor of Hongkong, sending him a copy of the Waiwupu's Note under cover of a despatch, of which is also enclosed herewith.

Sir Edward Grey, Bart., M.P. &C. &C.
