Sir,

In reply to Your Excellency's letter K.782

marked Secret of the 2nd March, I have the honour to inform

you that the Manager of the Asiatic Petroleum Company Mr.

W. H. Bell, has stated that the oil which it is proposed

to store on the site at Canton Road is a viscous substance

with a very high flash-point and practically non-inflammable

and I should be glad to learn whether in view of this you

adhere to your objection to the site,

I have, &C..

(sd.)

R. E. STUBBS,

Governor, &c.

His Excellency

The General Officer Commanding the Troops,

Hongkong.
