Chinese Proposal,
HARBOUR
510
If the Portuguese Goverment is to sanction the medira- cations of the Extradition Hules and the Harbour Regulations which are modified by the Hasse deverment to the satisfaction of the Chinese Government, China will agree to temporarily allow the aeke Government to resume the Harbour works, which, in reality, are contrary to the treaty of 1887 made between China and Portugal, This does not represent any abdication of right to the treaty made in 1887. It is merely to oblige the lacas Government that the Maene Harbour might not be stopped entirely to trade, as the Fasne Governmedi- ment has olearly stated that such work either on land or water shall not be con- sidered to 4* be Portuguese territory pending the decision of delimitation, and that if after delimitɛtion the locality or localities, land or water, on which such work has been per- formed, should belong to China, such or works, land or water, shall be handed over te China unconditionally. It is on account
of the friendship between the two countries being se well main tained for several hundred years that the Chinese Government has given allowance for such a request with a hope to increase the prosperity of kasno,
The Harbour Vorks te be resumed as agreed to by China shall be as follow:
