CONFIDENTIAL

SECTION 1

Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received October 12.)

No. 1

(No. 210.)

Peking, October 12, 1912.

(Telegraphic.) R.

My telegram No. 208 of 9th October: Seizure of opium. Owing to rapid fall of water in river, consul-general has been obliged to go to Nanking. Facts of the case having been clearly established, he thinks his return to Anking would serve no useful purpose, and suggests that the question should be settled here.

I should have greatly preferred settlement on the spot, but am willing to adopt alternative course if you consider it preferable.

(Sent to India.)
