This Government has received reliable inform-

ation that arrangments had been made in Canton where a

send official opium monopoly has been inaugurated by the Authorities to smuggle this opium into China; and the Consul General for Japan has reported that the Japanese Master of the "Asia Haru" was asked by the manager of the Bank of Canton,

a Chinese Bank, to deliver the opium to a Chinese gunboat off Swatow or in the alternative to discharge it at Whampoa

and to take dummy opium in its place.

3. The 170 chests were landed in Hongkong by order of this Government, and they were sent back to Caloutta on board the .s. "Bui Sang" which sailed on the 21st March,

I telegraphed to you on the 28th instant as follows:- "Steamship "Sui Sang" left Hongkong 21st March carrying 170 chests of opium returned to Calevtta by order of this Government there is strong evidence of intention to smuggle to China."
