Peking, April 13, 1911.

HUKUANG loan.

Hillier's telegram 13th April.

Next meeting takes place on Monday, 7th April, and it is essential that Ifillier should have authority to conclude agreement.

Further delay is dangerous, and the political and commercial advantages to us of through railway to Hong Kong far outweigh all minor objections.
