In a series of despatches ending with 51869 my confidential despatch of the 16th October I have
informed you of the progress of events in connection with the strike and boycott, and I have now the honour to submit my final report before leaving the Colony.
2.
The situation generally remains unchanged Confused fighting is reported to be in progress on all sides of Canton, and the anti-Red forces appear to
be holding their ground rather more successfully than
was anticipated. One of the Chinese cruisers recently seized ten strikers' launches in the neighbourhood of
Macao, and a number of the strikers, including seven
of the leaders, were shot. In the same locality the peasantry, in exasperation at the extortion of the strikers pickets,seized a number of men, secured them in pig baskets, and threw them into the sea.
