Addressed to Hongkong.
German Consul-General informs me that Russian
Consul-General five ladies and one infant are being
deported and he asks permission for transit through
Hongkong. Names of the party will be sent by post
to-day. They propose to arrive at Hongkong by the
morning steamer on December 30th and tranship for
Vladivostock via Shanghai on the following day.
Please telegraph approval if no objection.
They also request permission to make purchases
in Hongkong as all their effects including passports
and other papers have been seized by the Chinese.
Remaining five members of consulate staff and
all other Russians caught in Canton about eleven
in all have been executed.
