Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received June 17.)

Peking, June 17, 1908.

MACAO. At an interview which I had yesterday with some of the Ministers of the Wai-wu Pu, I inquired as to the incident mentioned in your telegram No. 94 of the 12th instant. The Portuguese Minister had already made representations to them on the subject, and they told me that, in the lack of information here, they had called for an explanation from the Viceroy at Canton.

Baron de Sendal had verbally suggested to the Wai-wu Pu the appointment of a Mixed Commission, which should delimit the boundaries of the Portuguese territory at Macao. This proposal I supported, as I had arranged with my Portuguese colleague. In reply I was told that this suggestion must be laid before Prince Ching and the other Ministers of the Wai-wu Pu, who are now in attendance on the Court at the Summer Palace.

The Ministers whom I saw were, I think, inclined to accept the proposal.
