State for the Colonies.

(Received Colonial Office 9.45.a.m.,9th August, 1913)

702700*5-

Your cypher telegram of 6th August 1 have

informed Tsen Chun Hsuan who is now a refugee that

he cannot remain at Hongkong.

He wishes to go to Penang and at his request

I have asked the Governor of the Straits Settlements

if he can reside there. I see no objection but he should not remain here as recently while at Canton he has declared himself violently opposed to Yuan Shih Kâi. In the meantime I am granting protection to him.

LAY.
