Mr. F. Hesse to Sir F. Campbell.-(Received November 10.)
Electra House, Finsbury Pavement, London, November 9, 1908.
Dear Sir Francis,
REFERRING to your letter of the 26th ultimo, in which you were good enough to inform me of the intimation made to the Russian Minister at Peking by the Wai-wu Pu as to the signing of the main Manchurian Agreement between China and Japan, I have now the pleasure to inform you that the following further telegram has been received from Mr. Dresing:-
"After great trouble both working Agreements now concluded, and will probably be signed Saturday (7th instant). Every possible precaution taken to prevent competition. Chefoo cable will be established without extra charge to the public, China paying Japan part of her proportion."
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) F. E. HESSE.
