With reference to Your Excellency's letter of the 12th April I have the honour to inform you that sometime ago Mr Lau Chu Pak (

the Senior Chinese Vember of the Legislative Council, tried to raise money in this Colory and at Canton, and to form a Verchants Society with the object of financing Chan Kwing Ming (

} if he agreed to come to term with the Government at peking, and never all connection with Sun Yat Sen.

Chan Kwing Wing, however took no action in the desired direction with the result that Sun Yat Sen was able to have himself elected President of the Chinese Republic, and forthwith proceeded to send letters to persons in this Colony asking for money. The officer administering the Government thereupon caused a notice

to be innued, of which I enclose a copy and translation, warning the public against making any loans to Sun Yat San or his Government.

I am compelled to add that I do not approve of the term in which this notice in couched and should not have authorised their use if I had been in Hongkong. however, the issue of a warning notice to the same general effect was desirable in the public interests and in accord ance with the policy adopted towards the present Governpert of Kwang-tung, it appears to me to be impossible to take ary steps to cancel the notice.
