March 27th, 1908.

Referring to my despatch of March 3rd. and to

my telegram of yesterday I have the honour to en-

close 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 pre-

pared opium from China to Hong Kong 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 pre-

pared opium to Hong Kong from China should be pro-

hibited; an Imperial Rescript sanctioning the memor-

ial has been issued, and also instructions to the

Provincial Authorities concerned; and the Viceroy

of Canton has ordered all Customs and Likin sta-

His Excellency

tions and Local Authorities to take preventive

measures

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

Governor and Commander-in-Chief,

Hong Kong.
