Canton, 4.10 10 DEC15)

"Since then Siemssons have had (28/9) 2,500 bales of Cassia and

"637 rolls of matting and again (29/9)1,500 bales of Cassia held up

"in Hongkong and up to now they have not been released.

"The affair is in the hands of U.S. Consul and has been referred by

"cable to Washington.

"Siemssons weak point seems to be that they discharged in the name "of the Chinese exporter and not openly in Kahl's name. The

"Hongkong Authorities can bring this up against them. "However the goods should be fully covered against war risk.

Also Reuter Brockelmann & Co. (28/9) had goods on board the river *steamer but were able at the last moment to persuade the Purser not *to put the goods on the manifest and take them back to Canton. "Hongkong knew all about the consignment but it agreed to its "being taken back to the Chinese shipper in Canton. So the attempts "of the two firms, after the last proclamation, to carry on business

"under the American flag have for the present come to an end.
