*The reply to your previous telegram was

"sent to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and appears to have

"been forwarded by mail and not by telegram.

*I gather that the tax is not being enforced "and that H. B. M. Consul-General at Canton has not received "any reply to the protest which he addressedto the Governor- *-General on the 4th. instant. As the question has been referred *to the Foreign Office by the Goverment of India, I cannot take *any further action until I receive instructions.*
