Londen within a week it looks as if Jap money will be

accepted. They have laid a very fine scheme before the

Fortuguese offering to build fastories, to increase the

revenue and employ a large number of the inhabitants. The

negotiations are being carried on by a local Jap dentist.

The Jap Admiral has paid the colony a visit and all his men

swarmed the town with small notebooks in hand. They offer to

develop the port and have direct lines to Japan, so you can

what they are after. Pernape London may do some thing

with Lisbon and may have done for all I know, but they seOIZ

to be keeping Hongkong in the dark. Our splendid isolation

I suppose.
