position as regards the Chinese Telegraph Office in Hong Kong

makes it necessary for me to add that it is impossible for

me to countenance any continuation of this long drawn out

dispute, and that, failing a speedy and satisfactory solution

of the question of this appointment, I shall have no

alternative but to close the office at once and to entrust

its management provisionally to the Eastern Extension

Telegraph Company.

I have, &c.,

($d.) C. CLIENTI,

Governor.

His Britannic Majesty's Consul General,
