On the strong recommendations of Your Excel- -lency, on the earnest representations of Sir Charles Eliot, and on the explicit assurances of the Governor Sir Henry May that the Hongkong Authorities will not permit the students to imbibe un- -healthy political ideas, the President has therefore given orders to the Civil Governor of Chihli, Province to send directly to the Hongkong University eight Covernment students to pursue their studies.

I have now the honour to communicate the above information to Your Excellency so that you may apprise H. E. the Governor of Hongkong and Sir Charles Eliot, the Dean of the

University, of the facts.

I remain etc.,

(Sd.) Teai Ting Kan.
