I have the honour to inform you that this

Government has had under careful consideration your letter

of the 25th of October on the subject of the smuggling of

opium from Hongkong into the Philippines, and is now about

to pass the Ordinanes, of which a copy is enclosed, with a

view to strengthening the hands of the authorities in coping with the increase in smuggling which the prohibitio

of the import of opium into the Philippines and other

countries has undoubtedly created.

2.

By this Ordinance the control of raw opium

is increased (a) by the establishment and regulation of

warehouses for its storage, and (b) by regulating the

handling of it on import and for export or in transship-

ment; (a) by increasing the penalty for breaches of the

sections dealing with the movement of raw opium from a fim not exceeding $500 to a fine not exceeding $2,000 or, at

the discretion of the Vagistrate,to imprisonment not

exceeding 18 months; while under the contract for the Opium

Farm for the 12 months from 1st March, 1913, to 28th

February, 1914, the Farmer will be allowed to use only a

maximum of 540 chests per annum for boiling for local

consumption and of 180 chests for boiling for export,
