The German Consul at Hong Kong has reported that Mr. R.A.J.Savago, Superintendent of Maile at

Hong Kong, during the last six years has always shown

the greatest consideration to meet the wishes of the

Consulate as well as those of the officers in Command

of Ships of the German Navy with regard to the delivers:

of mails. Requests for alterations in the directi

J

of the naval mails, by necessity often made at the

moment and involving therefore no small amount of extra

work to the Postal officials, have always met with his

kind and ready response. Repeatedly his personal

intervention has been instrumental for a considerably

earlier delivery of the mails to German war vessels,

which were absent from Hong Kong •

As Mr. Savage is now on leave of absence in

England and as there appears to be a likelihood that

he will not return to Hong Kong in the near future the

Imperial Government has instructed the German Embassy

to inform the British Government that the Admiral in

Command of the German Cruiser Squadron in the Far

as well as the German Consul at Hong Kong desire and

beg to have conveyed to Mr. Savage their best thanks

for the kind and courteous way in which he has always

met their wishes.

Mr. Savage's address is said to be:

33, Anson Place, Plymouth.
