The British Subject Robert Taylor, resident in

Hongkong, has applied to the Portuguese Government for

permission to establish a connexion with Macao by

means of wireless telegraphy. The Portuguese Govern-

ment would be disposed, in principle, to take the re-

quest of this British subject into consideration.

In accordance, however, with the reasons which deter-

mine that the opinion of His Britannic Majesty's Gov-

ernment should first be taken in these matters, the

Portuguese Government have the honour to infora His

Excellency Sir Francis Villiers of the application in

question and would be glad to know whether the British

Government think the request made by Mr. R. Taylor

worthy of consideration.
