and Hongkong it is easy to obtain in Kon-chau-wan Raw or Prepared

Opium free of such restrictions as exist at the two former ports,

and it is the natural supposition that the major part of smuggling

emanates from that source.

His Excellency further agrees that in Macao,

as is the case in Hongsong, there are Merchants who limit their

trade to the import and export of certificated Opium to China,

but that hitherto none of them have compleined that the Farm in

Macao acts prejudicially to their legitimate trade, being natural-

-ly of the conviction that they are unaffected by it.

7.

His Excellency the Governor further directs

me to say that the Macao Government remains with the best

intentions of co-operating with the llongkong Goverment in fact

it has hitherto really co-operated in repressing the entry of

illicit Opium into China. If some modifications in the legislation

become necessary in consequence of the Conference at the Hague,

of which the results are not yet officially known in Macao, His

Excellency the Governor would propose adopting all such modifica-

-tions, conforing however to the same rules as may be followed in Hongsong having regard to the identical interests which the

two Colonies have in this matter. As the term of the present con-

-tract will expire next year it would appear best that such

alterations as may be thought convenient to adopt should then be

made thus avoiding the binding clauses of the existing contract

on the Macao Government.

His Excellency, however, suggest the expediency of securing the adoption of those modifications at all the neighbouring ports interested in the matter, for unless this is done such modifications would not be productive of useful re-

-sults commensurate with the sacrifice made.

Health and Fraternity.

(Sd.) Manuel Ferra. da Rocha, Acting Secretary-General.

The Colonial Secretary of Hongkong.
