I have received your letter of July thirtieth and the copy of the letter of the Colonial Secretary of Hongkong

dated July thirtieth with its enclosures, relative to the Indian

agitators in Manila.

I note what Mr. Severn states relative to

sending Dost Mahomed to Hongkong. This we are unable to do, but I

three weeks ago had the Chief of Secret Service of the City of

Manila call in Dost Mahomed and another of the lending Indian

agitators here and tell them that owing to the disturbed conditions

throughout the world, we could not permit any activity on the part of the Indians residing in these Islands looking to the creation of

disturbances in a neighbouring colony, and that further activity

on their part would result in immediate step being taken to rid

the Islands of them. The Chief of Secret Service reported to me

that Dot Mahomed and his fellow Indian were badly frightened and

he thought we would have no more trouble from them.

I note that the inclosure to Mr. Severn's

letter, signed "B.S.Jakh",is not dated. This may be an oversight in

copying. If there is a date on the original letter, will you

please let me know when it was sent ?

We are desirous of not permitting any action

in the Philippine Islands which will be embarrassing to peaceful

neighbouring colonies, and I will take steps immediately to impress

on these Indians the fact that the statement of the Chief of

Secret Service of the City of Manila was not an idle one, but am

afraid we can not take any action looking to the deportation of

any of them to Hongkong.

This Government is highly appreciative of the

desire of the Colonial Authorities in Hongkong to aid us, and I trust you will make it evdent to them that we desire to recipro-

-cate to the greatest possible extent.

agitator
