With reference to Your Excellency's letter

No. 562/1915 dated 30th. March, 1915, I have the honour to forward

for Your Excellency's information the attached paraphrase of a

telegram which I have received from the Amiralty. There seems to

be some misunderstanding on the part of the Admiralty as my letter

to Your Excellency dated 25th. March last is quoted, this letter

referred solely to telegraphic communication between the local

cable offices and Stonecutters, whereas the lines upon which a report.

vequers is called for are those connecting the Dockyard with

Stone cutters W.T. Station. As I wish to make the situation perfect.

-ly clear to Their Lordships I would be glad to know how the

matter of connecting the Cable Offices stands at present.

I have etc..

(sd.) Rob. H. Anstruther,

Rear-Admiral.

His Excellency

Sir F. H. May, K.C.M.G.,

Governor and Com ander-in-Chief,

Hongkong.
