31st ultimo, and to state that he concurs in your pro-

posal to inform the Governor of Hong Kong by tele-

ed to him by His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokyo and he

would suggest, for Mr. Secretary Harcourt's considera-

tion, that Sir F. May should be merely instructed to

repeat the telegram sent to him from the Colonial
