In continuation of my despatch No. 62 of the 7th instant, I have the honour to forward copies and translations of two telegrams from His Excellency Chang Chih-Tung to the Viceroy Ch'ên on the subject of Hupei railways.
These documents were published in a local native newspaper, and of their authenticity I have no doubt.
His Excellency poses as the champion of Hupei's rights against the designs of the Board of Communications, and takes it for granted that British financiers will readily lend money for his railway projects, including a line from Hsiang-Yang to Kuang-Shui, which formerly he told me could not be allowed, lest its continuation to P'u-K'ou should
