With reference to my telegram of the 23rd
February, I am told by the Army Council that the Gmeral
Officer Commanding has reported that there are prevalent
in Hongkong the wildest rumours concerning the riot in
Singapore; and that he strongly urges in the interests of
a Colony with an Indian garrison that plain facts as
received from Singapore be published.
Please say what the General Officer Commanding
desires to be published beyond the statement given in my
telegram of the 23rd February, which is the substance of
what was published here.
