In despatch No. 163 of the 24th. of June

last you have communicated to be the correspondence exchanged

between you and the Hon. Colonial Secretary at Hongkong with

regard to the case of the destitute K. A. Nylender.

I cannot say but that I am greatly surprise-

-ed at the statement that the Swedish Government has recognised

Nylander's Swedish Nationality, while I am still without any

news to the effect that reimbursement of your outlays for the

said man has been granted.

I can of course understand that the Swedish

Government had to accept the man when landed on eisner their

shores in as much as that lost citizenship be/saforded by

returning to the Country. But there is a not too insignificant

difference between this sort of acknowledgment and paying the

expenses of a loafer's repatriation. What a Consul may be able

to do in a matter of this kind is at the request of a Foreign

Authority to give advice of the cheapest way of sending a man

home, which in this instance would have been to send him direct

from Hongkong to Gothenburg by the Swedish Asiatic Company's

regular line of steamers. But a Consul has no authority to send

home a man who is not or has not once been a Swedish registered

sailor without having previously obtained the Government's

sanction. Such sanction as you know has not been asked for by

me or through me and I therefore regret very much not to be

able to do anything in the matter at least until I hear from my

Government that your outlays will be paid.
