        "content_text": "312\n\nAppendix II. (No. I. The reasons assigned in Mr Rienaecker's Letter of the 8th January, 1856, to the Colonial Secretary, and 16.)\n\ncorroborated by all but one of the witnesses (unless we also except another witness, who admits the duty, but appears to doubt the readiness of the Government), appear to us conclusive in favor of the opinion which we ourselves have formed, that the Government of this Island ought to undertake the entire construction of the Praya, and that in no other way can the purposes, which have urged the Government to propose the work, be accomplished. The state of the shore, so alarming to the public health, calls for immediate measures of prevention. The crimes and disorders which occur daily and nightly amongst the dense Chinese population of this city, demand that whatever measures facilitate the approach and action of the police, ought to be commenced and executed with all possible despatch. The danger of conflagration, so terribly recalled to our apprehension last month, must be considered as normal amongst a population inhabiting tenements constructed of fragile and inflammable materials, and nearly destitute of the means of access to the water. The necessity to commerce of an uninterrupted and a public communication with the sea are pressing and obvious. But whilst all these considerations demonstrate that it is the duty of Government to take the shortest and speediest way to the completion of the project, they seem also to impose the condition that the work shall be done efficiently and securely, and with an inflexible regard to uniformity in the execution.\n\nThe solitary witness, who thinks that some saving in the contract price may be effected by substituting the Marine-Lotholders as Contracting Parties in the place of the Government, and investing them with all the powers and rights of Government for the purposes of such contracts as they shall be able to make, is himself so strongly impressed with the force of the above-mentioned objections, as to admit that, even if his suggestion be adopted, it will still be necessary that the work should be commenced at the time, and completed in the manner, which the Surveyor-General may direct—that the Surveyor-General's eye should be constantly directed to it whilst in progress—and that \"if it be left to the Marine-Lotholders themselves, it will never be done at all.\" It is obvious that the variance between Mr Pustan's evidence and the great body of the evidence taken by us upon this First Point of Enquiry, is more apparent than real. A work so conducted as Mr Pustan proposes is, at least, a work undertaken on the part of Government, and differing from a work directly undertaken by Government, only in respect of a certain want of unity in the initiation of the work, and in the division of the expense of it; and in both of these respects, we think, the preference is clearly due to the latter—an opinion which we have the satisfaction to find is unequivocally confirmed by the great body of evidence before us.\n\nII. Some difference of views amongst the Marine-Lotholders was naturally to be anticipated upon the question as to the conditions of tenure of lands reclaimed or to be reclaimed from the sea. In one respect only they appeared to be unanimous—in ignoring the fact that at present the Crown alone has title to all such lands, whether already reclaimed, or unreclaimed, and that the Crown will continue to have title to the latter after the same shall have been reclaimed by the Crown itself, or by persons not having title to those lands against the Crown, or authority under it. This common error was the source of the numerous fallacies to be detected in their evidence on the subject of their claims, real or supposed, to the equitable consideration of Government. The jealous eye of the law scans a grant from the Crown with great rigor, and reads it in quite another light from that of a grant made by subject to subject. 5 Bac: Abr: Prerogative In the latter case the rule is, that \"a deed shall be taken most strongly against the grantor,\" i.e., the subject; in the former case the rule is, that a deed shall be taken most strongly for the grantor,\" i.e., the Crown. This is the principle upon which that other well-settled doctrine is grounded, that \"in the construction of its deed of grant nothing shall be implied against the Crown,\" and again, the doctrine that, \"unless where expressly provided to the contrary, the Crown retains all its prerogative rights in respect of the thing granted.\"\n\n17 Edw: 11, st: 2, c. 15.\n\nThere is no difficulty in the application of these familiar and wise maxims of constitutional law.\n\n\"Public notice and Declaration, &c of We have it in evidence that even at the time of the first notification of the intentions of Captain Elliot to hold the first land sales that were ever effected in this Colony, the community were not suffered to be ignorant that no 1st May 1841. Appendix II, (No. 1); and lands would be allotted here but with a general reservation of all Her Majesty's rights according to the principles and practice of British Law, upon tenure to the Crown,\" and, before all, pending Her Majesty's further pleasure.\" Sec Laws of Hongkong, P. 3.\n\n\"and no occupancy respected,\" until evidenced by the execution of a Crown Grant, and perfected by Registration of Extract from Terms the Grant \"in the Government Office.\" The first land sale took place on the 14th June 1841. The Terms of Sale of Sale,' &c. Appendix were read to the bidders before the commencement of the proceedings, and they were expressly informed by that I, (No. 3) and see document that whilst the sea-frontage of each lot was nearly ascertained, the depth from the sea would necessarily 'Laws of Hongkong, vary considerably,\" and \"the actual extent of each lot\" being still unascertained, \"the parties would have the oppor- p. 4. tunity of observing the extent for themselves.\" They were further informed, that the Crown Grant, the sole evidence of title, would not be issued to any purchaser until \"the precise measurement and registration of the lots should be completed,\" and that, on his side, the purchaser would not, until delivery of his Crown Grant, be called on to pay the rent for the first year, \"reckoning from the date of Sale\" of his lot.\n\nSir Henry Pottinger, the first Governor of this Colony, and with whom we find that the wise and far-reaching project of a Praya first originated, was even more careful than Captain Elliot to preclude the possibility of all popular error as to the rights and intentions of the Crown in this matter. Referring to the important \"Government Notification\" of the 22nd March, 1842, we learn that, at that early date, whilst as yet not a Crown Grant had been issued, the Allottees of Marine-Lots already sold, and the future bidders for such as remained to be sold, were distinctly apprised that \"the reclaiming of land beyond high-water mark must be deemed an infringement on the Royalties of Her Majesty, (and it is therefore positively prohibited) by any private persons.\"\n\nDuring the whole of the period intervening between the date of that paper and the first issue of Crown Grants to the occupants, we have failed to discover any trace whatever of the revocation of that Public Announcement, or even of any connivance being extended by the Authorities to encroachments or purprestures upon the domains of the Crown, seaward or landward. A highly respectable witness, however, whose principal establishments being at Canton and Macao during that time imposed upon him the necessity of spending the greater part of his time at those ports, intimated his very strong impression that there was some distinct encouragement held out to himself and other purchasers during that period, and even after the delivery of their Crown Grants, to reclaim as much and as far as they pleased towards the sea,\" subject however to \"the risk of the reclaimed land being resumed by Government, if wanted for public purposes,\" and without any promise of compensation for it, if resumed. It is obvious that, even if the recollection of this gentleman were so far supported by documentary or other evidence, as to establish against the Crown and in favor of himself and those particular occupants who may have acted upon the alleged encouragement, a case of royal conscience and equity, the reservations appended would reduce the case to an almost infinitesimal value. But we must observe—(1.) that we can find no vestige of any Notification,\" or \"Circular,\" printed or in manuscript, bearing on this point, except those already cited, which bear altogether the other way; (2.) that it is an error to suppose that, in 1844, or at any period however early in the history of this Colony, a \"Government Gazette\" and the printing of Government Notifications did not exist, or that such Notifications, if made, were not printed; (3.) that if even the Queen's representatives were under the necessity of reserving the Queen's further pleasure\" in their official and authoritative announcements on the subject of tenure, the community ought to have known that the Land Officer, Captain Mylins, and his successor, Captain Meik, could not possibly be authorized to hold out encouragements, private or public, in derogation at once of those Notifications of the representatives of the Crown, and of the prerogatives of the Crown itself; and (4) that the reference to a supposed stipulation in an early Crown Grant to the same effect, a reference afterwards admitted tacitly to the same effect, a reference afterwards admitted tacitly to have been made in error, makes it very probable that the entire impression which Mr Edger entertains on this subject may, at this distance of time, be very easily accounted for, if we remember that the form of the Crown Grant, a form which has never varied since the first issue, does contain a kind of stipulation within the boundaries of the registered lot (but not beyond them), subject of course to the usual right of the Crown or \"encouragement\" to reclaim or improve, and indeed to build upon the lands granted and lying to resume the whole or any portion of the lot upon three months' notice, and equitable compensation, to be determined by the Surveyor-General; and that it is very likely that the witness, speaking from memory, may have erroneously supposed that the clauses in question applied also to the sea-shore lying beyond the boundaries of the Lot.\n\nThe form of Crown Grant to which we have just alluded was first settled in 1844; and, in that year, the first issue and registration of Crown Grants took place. The Crown Grants continued to be issued and registered during the whole of that year and the next, and thus the titles of the occupants, under the old acknowledgements of their biddings, were at length made perfect. We perceive in the circumstances which ensued upon this promulgation of the form of Crown Grant another proof that, down to this time at least, no Marine-Lot-holder had felt himself in any way encouraged to encroach upon the sea, or had doubted in the least the precariousness of a tenure from the Crown subjected since its origin to \"the Queen's pleasure, the reservation of all Her Majesty's rights, the British Law and practice, and the positive prohibition of reclaiming land beyond high-water mark by any private persons as an infringement of the Royalties of the Crown.\"\n\nWe find that the terms of the \"title\" now about to be exchanged for the old \"acknowledgement,\" did, in 1844, excite complaints on the part of the Marine-Lotholders. But we also find that these complaints had no reference to the limitation of \"boundaries\" seaward or landward, as contained in the Grants, nor to the right of resumption thereby vested in the Crown, nor to the paramount claims therein asserted on behalf of public purposes\" over personal privileges, nor even to the absolute powers in respect of those reservations and thereby bestowed upon the Queen's Surveyor-General, nor indeed to any matter bearing upon the present question of Marine-Lotholders, in the slightest degree. We find that a former letter of Captain Elliot was made the groundwork of complaint. But in Appendix II, (No. 6.) we also find that in that letter only one subject is discussed, and that one entirely foreign to our enquiry. Captain Elliot had there held out some \"encouragement\" for the hope that \"the Queen's further pleasure\" might operate to the advantage of the first buyers of lots, Inland and Marine, in the way either of reduction of Quit Rent, or of transmutation into a fee simple tenure. The promulgation of the form of Crown Grant had dissipated those hopes. It was of that disappointment that the Thirteen Firms of Marine-Lotholders complained, and only of that one. \"the faith of that pledge,\" as they termed it, they told Sir Henry Pottinger that they had, down to that date, (the 4th March, 1844,) expended \"on sea-walls, warehouses, and dwellings, very considerable sums.\"\n\nExpressio unius est Hongkong,' p. 3; see Appendix II, (No. 6.) exclusio alterius. If encouragements of any other kind had been held out to them, either to build sea walls,\" or to do any other work seaward of their Northern boundaries, it is clear from this document that they had not thought themselves safe in relying upon those encouragements, and in commencing those works. The personal testimony of Marine-Lotholders themselves confirms the inferences which we have deduced. The Honble. Mr Edger, whose recollections go back to a period anterior to the formation of the Colony, \"thinks that no land at all was reclaimed \"(from the sea) before Leases were issued,\" and that indeed \"sea-walls were made before the issue of leases, but in general between the limits of the land that was measured off;\" and Mr Antrobus, whose own encroachments on the sea-shore date but from 1854, states that \"he is not aware whether any land was reclaimed from the sea before his arrival here, rather more than five years ago.\" Such being the case before the issue, what was to result from a \"title\" so onerous as that which was now to be forced upon them? If any regard we had to the strength of language, we must suppose that the Crown Grant was viewed, from its first promulgation, not only as no \"encouragement\" to costly and unauthorized encroachments upon the Marine domain of Her Majesty, but as the utter bar to all improvements whatsoever, even within the surveyed and registered boundaries of the grantee's own Lot. \"Had they been previously aware,\" say the Thirteen Firms of Marine-Lotholders,\" of the conditions now proposed, they certainly should not have expended one farthing on buildings at Hongkong.\"\n\nOn the other hand, every one of Sir Henry Pottinger's acts and words at this very juncture is utterly inconsistent with the notion that he entertained any doubt himself, or had led others into any doubt, as to his line of conduct with respect to the rights of the Crown to the sea-shore in front of the Marine Lots. His Excellency's decision on the subject already cited was notorious to the whole community. Among the principal works which, at his request, the Land Officer, Mr Gordon proposed to undertake, and which Sir Henry Pottinger referred home with approbation, but for lack of the means could not undertake without the authority and assistance of Her Majesty's Imperial Government, a prominent place was given to the following project: \"a space of land to be reclaimed from the sea in front of Government Hill, to form a Public Landing-place, with an Esplanade or Public Walk; a Praya to be carried out in front of all the buildings, both Eastward to the Point, the property of Messrs Jardine & Co., and Westward as far as Navy Bay, or four miles between the two extremities, the land thus reclaimed to form a number of Marine Lots; \"a public roadway close to the sea, of fifty feet in width to be left on the Praya, and the space between that and the houses to be the private property of the possessors of the Lots assisting in carrying out the plan paying a proportion of the expenses, and for whatever land they gained of course charged at the same rate as for the rent of the Lots.\" That the fact of such a proposal having been made, and the details of it were no secret to the community at the time, or even long afterwards, may be very fairly inferred from Mr Montgomery Martin's once celebrated Report, compiled by him within six weeks of his arrival here in the following year, when Sir John Davis had succeeded Sir Henry Pottinger in the Government of this Island. That Report contains a direct but sneering allusion to the Praya, amongst other valuable projects of Sir Henry Pottinger, all of which are ridiculed by Mr Martin, little dreaming how many of his sarcasms were soon to be refuted by the literal fulfilment of the projects. Whilst the notoriety of the fact is proved by the boldness of the sarcasm, the mild and temperate rebuke which is contained in the observations of Sir John Davis in reply, and which, together with the attack, will be found in the Appendix, is, on its side, a proof that his Government and that of his predecessor were agreed in their opinions as to the policy to be followed with respect to Crown rights to the sea-shore, and the propriety of commencing the Praya, as projected by the latter, so soon as the finances of the Colony would permit, but without impeding the construction of the other public works and improvements enumerated in Mr Martin's Report.\n\nNothing indeed but the financial difficulties under which, even in Sir Henry Pottinger's time, the Colony had been laboring, and which were greatly and notoriously aggravated in later years, appears to have led to the delay in carrying his project into execution. The formation of such a work had been strongly urged upon the Admiralty by Commodore Sir Edward Belcher, R.N., then commanding a squadron in the China Seas. It had been notified by a Government Circular to all the leading mercantile firms, perhaps to all the mercantile firms without distinction then carrying on business, and many of whom we perceive now represent themselves to be hostile to the formation of a Praya, except on the condition of being allowed to monopolise the whole benefit so far as their sea-frontage extends, with an entire exemption from Quit Rent, and without being called upon to defray any portion of the cost. Yet the project of those days had the remarkable fate of being received by them with an almost unanimous adhesion.\n\nCircular Letter of Out of eight firms, themselves Marine-Lotholders, whose replies have been recorded in the Land Office, only one Me Gordon, dated 28th (that of Messrs Holliday, Wise & Co.,) hesitated \"to add to their already heavy expenditure,\" and to incur April 1843, in Append. the loss of privacy and convenience, to say nothing of the profits of wharfage,\" privileges which they were 1, (No. 10.) nevertheless ready and willing to forego for the public advantage.\" All the rest signified their consent and proffered their co-operation. They were willing to do it at their own expense to renounce the formation of private wharves, in favor of the common advantage. They had the welfare of the community at heart, not their own individual profit. One highly respectable firm, to whom the Circular was sent, but who do not appear to have returned a direct answer, nevertheless took the opportunity, in reference to another question then at issue between themselves and the local Government on the subject of an alleged encroachment by the Land Officer upon their Southern frontage, thus to express their highly creditable repugnance to all purprestures and encroachments whatever. Messrs Dent & Co. say that the boundary marks (granite blocks) on their Water-front Lots, marked Nos. 3 and 4, and 4 and 5, were at that time in the exact situation where they were placed by the Officers of Government, and also on the spot where the \"pickets were placed on the day of public sale, when they made the purchase.\" They remark, that \"the quantity of water-frontage which they purchased was not a matter of speculation in land, but that they confined their purchase to \"what was strictly and indispensably necessary for their establishment, and had not sought to increase their interest in \"such land elsewhere. Nothing short of such reasons,\" they conclude, \"would have induced them to solicit the consideration of Government to their case, it being far from their wish or intention either to ask for anything more that (sic) what they had considered to be their actual right, or in the most remote manner to stand in the way of public \"Improvement.\" It is, we think, impossible better to describe the relative positions of Crown, Crown tenants, and the public.\n\nThis general concurrence of the Government and Community of Hongkong on the subject of the Praya, did not fail to impress the Secretary of State very strongly in favor of the measure. But the project required some consideration, and His Lordship's friendly feeling towards it was at first evinced only by privately transmitting to Sir Henry Pottinger some corroborating testimony from another quarter in favor of the project. In the following year, however, his decision was officially announced. The utmost approbation was bestowed on the works projected, especially the Praya—the Governor was invited to send home the necessary Reports and Plans;—but the question was asked whether there were the necessary funds for the execution,\" and a clear intimation was given that to the Marine Lots, rather than to the Imperial Treasury, His Excellency must be prepared to have recourse for the means whereby the Praya might be executed at the least possible\" cost to the public.\" The matter of necessity rested there until the pecuniary difficulty could be overcome. Owing to circumstances too well known to need recapitulation, it was not fully overcome until the end of our last financial year. Your Excellency is the first Governor who has been able to decline the Parliamentary Grant, and this is the first year in which you have been able to decline it.",

        "content_text": "for Your Ladship's informalin.\n\nI have the hover to be,\n\nYour Sexdolipi\n\nThat obedient servant,\n\nRatud frums Murdonnell,\n\n18 bay\n\n∞\n\nBBB\n\nGovernor.\n\nTHE CHINA MAIL.\n\nHONGKONG, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1887,\n\nTHE PEKING FOREIGN BOARD ON WESTERN EDUCATION IN CHINA.\n\nWe have been favoured with the following translation of an important Memorial by the Foreign Board at Peking, relating to the establishment of the proposed School for the study of European sciences, the first memorial upon which subject we recently copied from the Shanghai newspapers.\n\nMEMORIAL by the Chinese Board of Foreign Affairs setting forth the arguments in favour of the study of astronomy and mathematics, and proposing regulations to this end.\n\nYour Majesty's servants present a respectful memorial in which they submit the views they have formed respecting the study of Astronomy and Mathematics, and an extended system for calling forth candidates, both private and official, for examination.\n\nThey humbly premise by observing that they have already, on the 5th day of the 11th month, (December 11th 1866), presented a memorial in which, in consequence of the existing need for pursuing astronomical and mathematical study with a view to the construction of machinery and firearms, they proposed the institution of a school in addition to that of the Tung Wen Kwan (the school for languages) and the selection of Manchoo or Chinese literary graduates of the second class or of the five subsidiary degrees of the same class, as also of officials of the 5th rank and below it who are already in actual employ, whether at Peking or in the Provinces, who should be enrolled after selection by examination, and the engagement by Europeans as instructors for the school, the regulations for which were to be carefully framed in detail and submitted for approval on the Imperial assent being signified to the proposition. In reply to the Memorial a decree has been issued, commanding that the proposition it contains be carried into effect, as has reverently been placed on record.\n\nYour servants now proceed to observe that the proposal for inviting candidates to examinations for the study of astronomy and mathematics does not in any wise imply a study due to mere curiosity and love of strangeness or deriving its impulse from the arts and science of the men of the West. It is simply that, inasmuch as the methods followed by Europeans in their manufacture of machinery are in every case derived from the knowledge of mensuration and numbers, now that China has formed the desire to study the principles of the construction of steamships and machinery, unless Western teachers are made use of as guides to expound the fundamental principles of construction which form the basis of mechanical skill, and the attempt be made to be our own instructors, a useless waste of the public money without advantage to the actual necessities of the time may be apprehended as the result. Your Servants have accordingly weighed this subject with repeated deliberation before setting forth the statement of their views. If, however, the matter be viewed without careful reflection, there will doubtless be some who will hold that the undertaking mooted by Your Servants is a matter brought forward without urgent necessity, and others who will deem it wrong to abandon the methods in vogue in China for the purpose of following in the footsteps of Europeans; whilst there will even be some who will maintain that for men of China to apply themselves to study under European instruction is a thing deeply to be ashamed of. Such views as these, however, only spring from lack of discernment in the questions of the day.\n\n73 $4390/67.\n\nThe necessity that China should devise means for giving strength to herself has by this time reached its highest extreme, and no man of discernment believes otherwise than that the way to strengthen ourselves consists in pursuing certain of the European studies and in the manufacture of foreign appliances. Among the Provincial Viceroys, such men as Tso Tsung-fang and Li Hung-chang have been able clearly to appreciate this principle, and to adhere firmly to its enunciation; and in their memorials they have constantly dwelt at length upon the subject. Last year, Li Hung-chang established a Factory at Shanghai, to which officers and men selected from among the troops of the capital have been sent for purposes to study; and quite recently Tso Tsung-tang has also requested permission to set on foot an Institute of Arts in Fukien, to select youthful and promising students and to engage foreigners as instructors of spoken and written languages and of mathematics and designing, to serve as a stepping-stone to the future construction of steamships and machinery. When the subject is thus regarded, it is plain that it is impossible to do otherwise than pursue the study of Western knowledge, and that this is not by any means the mere unsupported opinion of Your Majesty's present few Memorialists.\n\nIt may indeed be objected that transactions such as the hiring of steamships and the purchase of foreign arms, have already been carried out at the various Ports, and it may be asked, this plan being at once convenient and economical, what need exists for further trouble and expense? Views such as those are due to insensibility of the fact that the study which China stands in need of is in no wise confined to steamships, muskets, and artillery; but even on the ground of steamships and firearms, although the plan of hiring and purchasing as occasion dictates is a convenient one, yet by such a course the art of their production remains for ever in the hands of others, whilst by studying to elucidate their principles of origin, both the art is made intelligible and its practical application is placed within our power. The one course is an expedient to meet the requirements of circumstances, the other is a plan adapted to lasting needs; which of the two is the right one it requires no discussion to make clear.\n\nThis is the ...\n\nThe idea that it is wrong to abandon Chinese methods and to follow in the steps of European may also be dilated upon. It is to be remarked that the germ of Western sciences is in fact originally borrowed from the Heaven-sent elements of Chinese knowledge. The eyes of Western philosophers having been turned towards the East, and the genius of these men being minutely painstaking and apt for diligent thought, they have succeeded in pursuing study to new results. For these they have usurped the name of sciences brought from overseas; but in reality the methods (of their philosophy) are Chinese methods. The case with astronomy and mathematics, and it is equally so with the remaining sciences. China has originated the method, which Europeans have received as an inheritance. If now China be enabled to exalt herself to (their) level, and we thoroughly master the fundamental knowledge of these affairs, we shall no longer need to seek aid abroad when circumstances arise, and the advantages in this respect will assuredly be neither slight nor few. Moreover, the sciences of Europe were highly appreciated by your Majesty's sacred ancestor, the Emperor Benevolent (K'ang-Hi). During his reign, Europeans were ranged among the officials of the Court, were appointed as functionaries of the astronomical department: they were included in like favour with that which embraced their colleagues; in its comprehensive largeness the Imperial wisdom knew no distinction of country. Neither is it fitting that among the canons of the past which our reigning House upholds, ...",

        "content_text": "6\n\nbarracks, there are but few houses, and in the centre is a very peculiar tower on a raised base some 20 feet high, and on the top of the tower the national flag is hoisted.\n\nThe town of Hanoi is situated between the citadel and the river, and extending beyond the former in a westerly direction. The streets are wide and the houses good, and well built of brick in some of the principal streets, but there are numerous ones where the shops are merely mat erections in the usual Tonkinese style; with one exception—the main street from the river where the Chinese live—the streets are unpaved, and in wet weather almost impassable from the depth of the mud; but as shoes are an exception with the Annamites, this drawback to European comfort does not affect them. The sedan-chair of China, so convenient for locomotion, is unknown, the high authorities and those who can afford it being carried in a hammock of silk or hemp network suspended on a pole supported on the shoulders of two or four bearers, and enclosed in silk or cotton curtains. There is a great deal of stir and movement in the streets; the shops are well stocked with articles of native workmanship, especially bamboo work in all its varieties, silk and cotton piece goods, paper, pewter, and glass ware, boxes, drums of all sizes richly painted, lacquered and gilt, and coarse crockery and china ware. Fowls, ducks, geese, oxen, and pigs, are both plentiful and cheap, with abundance of fruit, bananas and vegetables, and fish. Rice is the staple food of the people, who look well-fed and healthy, and have a fair amount of muscular development. The women, however, appear to be the dominant class, for they work like the men as coolies and labourers, and preside in the shops. They are generally good-looking, carry themselves gracefully, and but for the practice of blacking their teeth, many might be called handsome.\n\nThe Tonquinese are evidently of the type of race which may be called \"transitional,\" beginning in India, of which Burmah and Siam are offshoots; changing in the Malay peninsula and Annam, and again in the southern borders of China, and so with China proper, where it ends in the Mongol feature. The gradations are strongly marked and can be easily traced.\n\nIn manner the Tonquinese and Annamites are quiet and, owing probably to the arbitrary Government they are under, subdued and indolent. The population of Hanoi, the capital, is estimated at from 150,000 to 200,000 Tonquinese, and about 3,000 Chinese. The French speak of the rule of the Annamite Government as oppressive and arbitrary in the extreme, and that the Tonquinese would gladly throw it off if possible. It may be and probably is so, being the case generally with all independent Asiatic Governments, but as a strong feeling against the Government exists among the French officials in Tonquin, such an assertion must be accepted with reserve. Undoubtedly a feeling of great disappointment exists at the sudden and complete reversal of the policy of Lieutenant Français Garnier, which I will refer to more fully hereafter, and the surrender to the Annamite Government of what may be termed his territorial conquests in Tonquin. Indeed, the present obstructive attitude of the Court of Hué is attributed to this cause, but not justly so,\n\nit is not to be expected that an independent but weak Government can look with equanimity upon the capture of their territory by a surprise, or accept the dictum of the captors that it is for their good and that of their people to preserve an armed neutrality and open the country to foreign trade under French supervision. However this may be viewed from a Western stand-point, certainly it finds no favour in the East, where the acts of the so-called civilized Powers are stripped of their garnish and reduced to the simple proportions of right or wrong, and if the latter, never forgotten or forgiven. Time and the passing away of generations may somewhat render the past into oblivion, but until that, to think what is gained by the sword can be held by the hand, is a mistake which the French are now seeing, and are chafing under the discovery.\n\nI have, I fear, dwelt too long on this subject, but it is one which so nearly affects the position of the French in Tonquin, that I may be pardoned in having been a little diffuse; but I will now proceed to give a brief resume of the political history of the Annamite and Tonquin Kingdoms, and the events which led to the occupation of the former by the French.\n\nTonquin is divided into thirteen prefectures or tsan; Thauh-noi, Thanh-ngoai, Hung-hoa, Nam thoung, Nam ha, Haidong, Kinh bae, Sontai, Caobang, Lang bac or Lang-von, Thai nguyen, Tuyen quang, Quang-yen.\n\nBoth Tonquin and Annam have, from almost time immemorial, been the scene of rebellions, civil wars, and bloodshed. Passing over the rather obscure history of these events, it will be sufficient to date from the year 1740–1786.\n\nAt that date Canhung was King of Tonquin, or Ngan-nan as it was called,\n\n1\n\n7\n\nand Hien Vuong was King of Cochin China, or Annam, but was so disliked by his subjects, that the influential family of Tayson revolted and killed him. He left a nephew, Nguyên Auh, who fled to Saigon on the death of his uncle. The heads of the family of Tayson consisted of three brothers: the eldest, Yin-yae, was a wealthy merchant; the second, Long-niang, was a General Officer of high rank; and the third was a priest.\n\nCochin was then divided into three parts: the north had been conquered by the Tonquinese; Hué was occupied by the second brother, Long-niang; and lower Cochin was governed by Yin-yae; whilst the third brother was religious chief of the whole Empire.\n\nNguyên-Auh, the nephew of Hien Vuong, who had fled to Saigon, determined to recover his kingdom from the three brothers of the Tayson family. At the time when Hien Vuong was killed there was a Catholic Bishop named Pigneaux de Béhaine, called Adran after his see, and he it was who saved the nephew Nguyên-Auh, and took him to Saigon, and henceforth devoted himself to replacing him on the Tonquinese throne.\n\nLong-niang, the second brother, then attacked the Tonquinese, and after expelling them from North Cochin, entered Tonquin in 1786, obliging Chin-long, the then King, to fly into China, where he ended his life at Peking, in exile.\n\nBishop Adran then took the eldest son of Nguyên-Auh with him to Paris, to obtain assistance from Louis XVI of France, and a Treaty of Alliance was signed on the 28th November, 1787, and Bishop Adran returned.\n\nIn 1791 Long-niang died, leaving a son twelve years old; and Nguyên-Auh, with the help of some French officers, brought from Europe by Bishop Adran, captured Yin-yae's fleet in 1793. In the same year Yin-yae died, and was succeeded by his son. Nguyên-Auh attacked and defeated the latter in 1796, and conquered what territory remained under the government of the son of Long-niang, and thus Cochin (Annam) was once more in possession of its lawful sovereign.\n\nThe conquest of Cochin being finished in 1811, Nguyên-Auh then turned his attention to Tonquin, the then King of which, Cauh-thiuh, the son of Quan-hung, he defeated in 1802, and being then sole sovereign of Annam, he assumed the title of Hwang-te, and the surname of Gia-long, by which he is best known, and since then Tonquin has been a province of the Annamite kingdom.\n\nIt may be observed that as far back as 1541 the Li family, the founder of the second dynasty, of which was Li-ki-mao or Li-by, were the recognized heirs to the throne of Tonquin, and although they were displaced by usurpers, they are still considered so, and some of its representatives are said to exist.\n\nSince the death of Gialong three monarchs have reigned in Cochin (Annam)—Minh Mang, 1820-1841; Thieu-tri, 1841-1847; and Tu-Duc, the present King; but although they owe their kingdom to the exertions of Bishop Adran, they have unremittingly persecuted Christians, For instance, Father Fernandez was beheaded on the 24th July, Bishop Henaris on the 25th June, and Bishop Delgado died in prison on 12th July, 1838. Finally, in consequence of the execution of Bishop José Maria Diaz, on the 20th July, 1857, and for other outrages, war broke out between Annam, Spain, and France, and this was followed by the victories of Admirals Rigault de Genouilly at Turon, on the 1st September, 1858; and Saigon, on the 17th February, 1859; Chasner at Kihoa, on the 25th February, 1861; Page at Mytho, on the 12th April, 1861; and Bonard at Bien-hoa, on the 9th December, 1861; ending with the Treaty of Saigon, of the 5th of June, 1862, by which the Provinces of Gia-dinh (Saigon), Dinh-tuong (Mytho), and Bien-hoa and the Island of Poulo Condor, in Lower Cochin, were ceded to France, and to these, on the grounds of intrigues and bad faith on the part of the Annamite Government, Vice-Admiral de la Grandière in June 1867 annexed the three western Provinces of Vinh-long, Chaudoc,\n\nand Hatien.\n\nI have thus as briefly as possible endeavoured to show how Tonquin became annexed to Annam, and Saigon came into possession of the French, and I will now proceed to give a résumé of the events which led to French occupation of Lower Tonquin.\n\nThe principal river in Tonquin, called the Ho-ti-kiang, but better known now as the Hung Keang in Chinese, and the Song Koi, or Red River, in Annamese, has its rise in Thibet, and is navigable from Manhao, the last city in the Chinese Province of Yunnan, and so down to the sea, a distance of 414 miles. Manhao is the entrepôt where goods are shipped to and from Tonquin and Annam, the mart being a more northern city, called Mongtsze, situated also on the banks of Song Koi, or Red\n\n229",

        "content_text": "233\n\n14\n\nthat he had made an arrangement with his creditors to pay one-half of his liabilities in the period of a year, and the rest in the following six months, and that he was leaving Saigon for Paris to prosecute his claims against the French Government, which through the Saigon one, he avers, supported him in his attempt to open up Yunnan by the Songkoi River, and then when they, or the Governor of Saigon rather, saw they might get implicated by his action, abandoned him, confiscated his property, and in fact ruined him. Such is the report, but it is more probable that M. Dupuis, who is a man of ability and great enterprise, will make some arrangements with his Government, regarding giving facilities for trade with Yunnan, which will recoup him his losses, and benefit the French Government by opening a trade with the rich and fertile provinces of Yunnan and Kwangsi.\n\nAs regards this route into Yunnan by Songkoi, or Red River, there can be no doubt of its availability, and that until lately a very considerable trade to and from Hanoi was done by the Chinese Resident there, and if the borders were cleared of the obstructions which exist in the shape of blackmail and independent Chinese clans that trade would be renewed. I saw the peculiarly-constructed boats of great length, and drawing little water, employed in ascending the river as far as Manghao and Mangtsze, both large trading cities in Yunnan, and I closely questioned one or two people who had been that route and they stated no difficulties existed, and we know that M. Dupuis several times took cargoes of salt from Hanoi to Manghao, and would have continued the traffic but for the Saigon Government, at the request of that of Annam, requiring him to leave Tonquin. That the River Songkoi is available, therefore, for the transit of the reported rich ores and produce of Yunnan and Tonquin seems certain, and on the removal of three obstacles alone a large and profitable trade may be said to depend, namely, the consent of the Governments of Tonquin and China to open the mines, and the clearance of the frontier of refugee Chinese and leviers of blackmail. All these accomplished the rest is easy.\n\nIf the Songkoi or Red River opens a route with Yunnan and Kwang-si, that via the Shan States and Bhamo is not the less available, and the two offer equal advantages, nor is there any reason why their interests should clash; on the contrary, for these points of exit are distant, and one gives geographical facilities which the other does not.\n\nNotices which have appeared in French publications urge upon the Government the necessity of taking immediate action by opening the Songkoi before the English have monopolized the trade of Western China by the Bhamo route; but this is a mistake, no single road from Yunnan could do that, and the more openings there are for the inlet and outlet of trade the better. Moreover, such is not the intention or desire of the British Government as far as I am aware, and if the French policy in Tonquin were less restrictive it would draw foreign capital to the country, and develop its rich resources, which at present are in abeyance from the poverty of the Government and the people.\n\nAs regards the position of the French at present in Tonquin, my observations lead me to the conclusion that it is unsatisfactory, and indeed they think so themselves, but from a different point of view.\n\nIt seems to me that the Annamite Government look upon them much as an individual would look upon another who has entered upon his property and assumed the management of his estate, and whom he is too weak, in the absence of law international or otherwise, to eject. All they can do is to be as obstructive and make things as uncomfortable for their unwelcome visitors as they can, and the only fear is they may go too far, and make themselves so unbearable as to authorize either an annexation, or the next thing to it—being a distinction without a difference—a protectorate pure and simple. This, I have every reason to believe, is what the French officials there look forward to, for not only do they feel they are in an anomalous position, but they regret the surrender by M. Philastre of the conquests, if they may be so termed, of Lieutenant Garnier, and to which they attribute their present difficulties.\n\nIf the French Government is not prepared to go further and incur grave responsibilities and a very large outlay, it would be well if it reversed the whole policy of the past, and entered upon a different phase, by restoring to Annam its entire sovereignty over Tonquin, and restricting its alliance with her to a commercial Treaty, and leaving it open to other nations to do the same.\n\nThat the Annamite Government would gladly avail itself of this rearrangement and place commercial intercourse upon a sound basis there can be no doubt, for it naturally views with alarm and dislike the occupation of the territory by an armed foreign force, small though it may be, and the interference it is subjected to under the provisions of a Political and a Commercial Treaty, which unquestionably was forced upon it.\n\n15\n\nI found it difficult to obtain information regarding the commercial products of Tonquin, but I met with a native called Petrus Truong Vinhky, who was an employé of the French Government at Saigon, and had been sent to inquire into the trading resources of that country.\n\nHe represented Tonquin to be rich in products of all kinds, having coal, copper, and tin mines, gold and silver. Its agricultural capabilities are immense, and silk is abundant and cheap; a piece of it might be purchased at Hanoi for 150 dollars which would cost at Saigon 250 dollars, and in China 400 dollars. This might be so, but from the little I saw of it I should say it was coarser in thread than that of China and very badly reeled, and the fabrics made from it were imperfect compared with the Chinese, and of very poor quality. Vinhky confirmed the information I had received regarding the occupation of the river that passes into Yunnan by the Black and Yellow Flags, and said as long as they held them the Yunnan trade would be paralysed. He believed, however, the French Consul at Hanoi would, in the course of a month or two, proceed there with an armed escort of 100 or 200 soldiers from Saigon to co-operate with the Annamites in clearing the road.\n\nThis was confirmed by M. de Kergaradec, who told me he was going there, partly to see into the state of affairs, and to come to some arrangements with the Flag factions, and partly for scientific purposes. Vinhky represented that the Annamite Government was favourable to the development of the resources of the country, but according to M. Kergaradec they were not. It is difficult, therefore, with such contradictions, to arrive at the truth; in fact, I make no pretensions of giving an account of the native trade of Tonquin in this despatch, for my opportunity of obtaining information was too brief.\n\nI can only say that from all accounts it is a very rich country, and with the establishment of good relations with the Government might be made a very profitable one to Western Nations; and even if M. Kergaradec succeeds in either conciliating it or enforcing obedience on the Yellow and Black Flag factions, much will be done towards opening the Yunnan trade. Indeed, I believe this intended expedition of his to the factories originates in the French having called upon the Annamite Government to clear the frontier passes of these bandits, to which it replied it could not do so without assistance, and therefore is of more importance than is at first apparent.\n\nI may now, as briefly as possible, refer to the ecclesiastical position of Tonquin with reference to Christianity.\n\nThe first missionary to Tonquin was the Italian Jesuit, Julian Baldinotti, who arrived in 1626; he was followed in 1627 by Alexander de Rhodes (French) and Antonio Marquez (Portuguese); these were expelled in May, 1630, but numerous successors followed them. Persecutions followed; Messari died in prison on the 15th of June, 1723. Buccharelli was beheaded with nine Tonquinese on the 11th of October, 1723. John Caspard Crats, born in Germany in 1698, Bartholomew Alvarez, born in Parameo, in Portugal, in 1706, Emmanuel de Alreu, born at Aronca, in Portugal, in 1706, and Vincent de Cunha, born in Lisbon in 1708, were beheaded on the 12th of January, 1737.\n\nAfter the persecutions of 1737, there was a period of calm, and the King of Tonquin even sent to Macao for some mathematicians, and on the 6th of March, 1751, Father Simonelli and four other Jesuits arrived; but the King changed his mind and did not want them. The Jesuits were replaced by the envoys of the \"Missions étrangères\" in 1659. In 1679 Tonquin was divided into two religious provinces, Eastern and Western. The Spanish Dominicans took charge of Eastern Tonquin in 1693. The two provinces were again sub-divided, and the Roman Catholic missions in Tonquin are at present—\n\n1st. Western Tonquin (Missions étrangères) created 1679. at Sokien (Hanoi).\n\n2nd. Eastern Tonquin (Spanish Dominicans) created 1679. at Ké-né (Bac-niuh).\n\nMonsignore Puginier\n\nMonsignore Colomer\n\n3rd. Central Tonquin (Spanish Dominicans) created in 1548. Monsignore Cezon at Biu-chu (Nam-dinh); Monsignore Riano Coadjuta at Ngoc-duong (Hung-yen).\n\n4th. Southern Tonquin (Mission étrangères) created in 1546. Monsignore Ganthier\n\nat Xa-doai; Monsignore Croc Coadjuta at Huong-phuong (Bac-ninh).\n\nAs before mentioned, I called upon Monsignore Puginier, and found him most agreeable and communicative; he was apparently about forty years of age, and",

        "content_text": "# \norder that we may know where we start from.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY, in putting the motion that the resignation of the provisional committee be accepted, said he would venture to add to it that the best thanks of the meeting be tendered to that committee.\n\nCarried.\n\nMr. Eos proposed that the following gentlemen be appointed the permanent committee for carrying on the work of the institution :- Right Rev. Bishop Burdon, Rev. Dr. Chalmers, Hon. Sir John Smale, Hon. J. Russell, Hon. W. Keswick, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. H. B. Gibb, and Messrs. T. Jackson, W. H. Forbes, D. R. Crawford, W. H. Davis, and A. Lister.\n\nHon. H. B. Gibb said he expected to go home shortly, and thought his name might be omitted. Mr. FORBES said he also expected to go home shortly.\n\nBoth gentlemen were requested to allow their names to remain in the resolution, and consented. The following words were also added to the resolution-\"With power to add to their number.\" Rev. J. HENDERSON seconded the resolution. Carried.\n\nThe BISHOP- May I just say that, so far as I can see, the points to be determined by this permanent committee, will be the fees, the hours of attendance, and all the little details connected with the school. The master, I hope, will be, notwithstanding the fears of some, an efficient man for his work. I have done the very utmost I could to secure the best man possible, and I think every care will be taken in his choice. I may say that so far from Dr. Stewart and myself being opposed to each other, I went to him for the purpose of asking his advice in reference to the appointment, and he himself is one of the subscribers.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE raised the question whether a Secretary and Treasurer should be appointed by the present meeting, and, after some conversation, proposed that it be left to the committee to appoint its own officers.\n\nMr. TOMLIN seconded. Carried.\n\nThe CHIEF JUSTICE- Do the resolutions sufficiently define the duties of the committee, and that they undertake the general management of the school and its details? How that is I don't know. Of course they would manage the school in all the general details that committees usually do, but the master's department of the school must be managed by the masters beyond question. I take it no school ever thrives in which the committee interferes. That I believe we find in England in all public establishments, and therefore I don't think any one here would wish to interfere with the master's department, but all but the master's department ought to be in the hands of the committee. If that were done, I think we would have done pretty nearly all, but I think we ought to say what we do commit to the committee, be that what it may. That is a suggestion I make. And I would take this opportunity of saying I think the lines laid down here by this paper which I hold in hand are such as ought to commend themselves to everyone. For myself, I am for instruction- religiously if you can, but if not, instruction. And I cannot say but I look with very great satisfaction at what the Roman Catholics have done in this colony. They have shown us Protestants an example we have to follow, and I wish them every success. There is plenty of room for the success of every class in this colony, especially religious thought. For myself, if to-morrow there were a very good Presbyterian school established here, I should be very glad to see it. I believe you cannot have too much of education, but you may spoil a school by setting it up against another. I hope we will all agree in supporting this school, which Mr. Kidd I think established to meet, what was a very decided want in this colony. (Hear, hear.) I don't think there can be a dissenter in this colony- although Mr. Kidd in his views was very special, but I am sure there is not a Presbyterian or Independent in this colony who would not have preferred sending their children to Mr. Kidd than to give them no education at all, or to give them education without religious instruction at all. I hope therefore in this matter we shall be able to pull together, and that Dr. Chalmers's great and acknowledged learning will come to aid this committee, as well as the acknowledged talent of our much respected Bishop- Applause).\n\nThe BISHOP- With reference to Sir John's first question, as to the province of the committee, I think we must leave it to good sense.\n\nI don't suppose any committee of gentlemen would consider it their duty to interfere with the details and scholastic management of any school. If there is one place where divided management, or numerous management, would do harm it is a school. There must be one head and only one head, but of course there are many departments in which a committee can counsel without interfering with the daily work and routine.\n\nHon. H. B. GIBB- I take it the duties of the committee would be very much like those of trustees at home, not interfering unless there is some glaring abuse.\n\nDr. EITEL- As his Lordship said anyone present might ask a question, I would like to ask one. Neither in his opening remarks nor afterwards in what he said as to the subjects the committee would deal with, did I hear any allusion to one point which seems to me very important, the question what subjects are to be taught in the school. For instance, is Chinese to be taught, are Latin and Greek to be taught? In short, the question I wish to put to his lordship is, what standard will this school occupy itself with as regards the subjects of its teaching?\n\nThe BISHOP- I hope in time we shall embrace all, but certainly not at first. I don't think there is any limit except the material with which we have to deal. I think it would be unsuitable to teach Chinese, Latin, or Greek; the boys should be taught the ordinary branches of an English education suitable to their age, and if we got more advanced pupils we will have advanced education.\n\nMr. LISTER- I think we are somewhat in the position of persons opening a new house of business. We don't exactly know the articles in which we shall deal until we know what the demand is. We are opening business in a line as yet very little developed. If we find there is a demand for Chinese it is very easy to add Chinese, and the same thing applies to Greek and Latin. The programme of the school will no doubt be very much governed in years to come, as everything else is governed, by the demand. Parents will express their wishes as to what they wish their children to learn. All those points will, I think, in a few months settle themselves.\n\nThe BISHOP- Mr. Kidd had five and twenty boys, all little fellows, some of them not more than eight or nine. Well, of course the education you give to such children begins with ABC and English books, and there is no idea of commencing the study of Chinese. I think to teach Chinese to those foreign boys would require a man of learning such as is only found in Dr. Eitel.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE- The gentleman you will get out will be competent to teach Latin and Greek?\n\nThe BISHOP- I hope so-(a laugh)- but we commence these things without knowing what we are going to do, and with the idea of Mr. Kidd's pupils before my mind I did not think much of Latin and Greek.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE- It is quite common for children nine years of age to commence to learn Latin.\n\nThe BISHOP- Well, I think the teacher will be able to give them all the Latin they want.\n\nDr. EITEL- With reference to the question I put to his Lordship, and which was answered by Mr. Lister, as a father of children, if I wish to send my children to school I should like first to know what they are going to be taught, what the school offers for the children. I would not send my children to a school, and some fathers would not like to take their children from one school and send them to another, if the subjects to be taught in which nothing is known except that they are left to the committee to be settled by and by. What will be the subjects that will be taught in the school? because, apart from teaching in school there is teaching at home, and if subjects are taught in school that might be as well taught at home some people would not like to send their children at all. I make these remarks to show my question is not entirely an absurd one. You offer this school to parents and expect them to pay fees. If you do that it is but rational you should first tell them what education you have to offer - (Hear, hear).\n\nThe BISHOP- Is this not entering into details with which we have yet to deal. We have now got money to start a school which we are anxious to make beneficial to our fellow-countrymen. We know who we have to deal with and we shall try to give them as good an education as we can, but as to the details, I think it is too soon to commit ourselves as to what we shall do or not.\n\nPage 164",

Ces pièces ont été d'ailleurs heureusement ramenées, et la retraite s'est effectuée en bon ordre, sous le commandement de M. le lieutenant de vaisseau de Marolles.\n\nNous avons eu en tout quatre officiers, dont Rivière, onze soldats et dix-huit marins tués, sept officiers, vingt-quatre marins et vingt soldats blessés; parmi les blessés, le commandant Berthe de Villers a succombé le jour même à ses blessures; les autres officiers sont en voie de guérison.\n\nLe gouverneur de la Cochinchine n'a pas encore reçu du Tonkin la liste des hommes tués et blessés, il a l'ordre de la télégraphier dès qu'elle lui sera parvenue.\n\nNous avons ramené tous nos blessés, mais les morts ont été laissés sur le champ de bataille; l'ennemi les a emportés à Son-Tay, Bac Ninh et Phu-Hoai.\n\nC'est après un défi semblable adressé à Garnier par le même Lu Vinh Phuoc, que cet officier, aussi brave qu'imprudent, trouva la mort dans des circonstances pareilles.\n\nLes Pavillons-Noirs ont perdu 113 hommes, dont le second commandant.\n\nLa situation d'Hanoi est rassurante; les communications avec Hai-Phong sont libres. Les deux premières compagnies de renfort, arrivées de Cochinchine, sont parties de Hai-Pong, le 27 mai. Un bataillon de marche et une batterie de montagne, expédiés de Saigon, le 26, ont dû arriver à Hai-Pong quatre jours après.

Nous l'avons averti que nous considérions Hué, personnage important, plus puissant peut-être que l'empereur lui-même.\n\nCes lettres, qui sont un chef-d'œuvre de diplomatie orientale, toutes remplies de protestations obséquieuses, de récriminations vagues, de menaces obscures qu'il est difficile de démêler, vont de mai à la fin du mois, c'est-à-dire qu'elles se rapportent précisément à la période où se préparaient et se sont accomplis les événements dans lesquels le commandant Rivière a perdu la vie.\n\nEh bien, messieurs, ces lettres, à qui voudrait les prendre dans leur sens apparent, ne témoigneraient que du désir de vivre en paix avec nous, de la volonté de contenir les passions au Tonkin et de la crainte de n'y pas réussir, du dessein amical d'envoyer une escorte au-devant de notre nouvel agent pour le recevoir avec les honneurs dus au représentant de la France; si, en même temps, on n'y voyait des insinuations multipliées et fort claires destinées à faire entendre que cet envoyé ferait bien de ne pas partir, car on ne serait peut-être pas en mesure de garantir à lui sa sécurité.\n\nDans tout cela, messieurs, il est difficile de trouver aucune apparence de déclaration de guerre. Nous avons lu dans les gazettes chinoises que des ambassadeurs annamites auraient été envoyés dans le Céleste-Empire pour solliciter son aide contre nous. Nous n'en avons jamais été informés d'une pareille démarche, il ne nous a jamais été dit un seul mot qui pût nous donner lieu de penser que le gouvernement d'Annam se considérait comme l'allié du Céleste Empire et qu'il se crût le moins du monde autorisé à solliciter son appui.\n\nVous avez lu et nous avons également lu, dans le courant du mois de juin, une lettre adressée par l'empereur Nguyen, ou le roi d'Annam, au souverain de Ta-Dac, c'est-à-dire au roi de Corée. Dans cette lettre se trouvaient développés tous les griefs du gouvernement d'Annam contre nous et réclamée, de la manière la plus solennelle, conformément aux traditions que la Chine a invoquées récemment dans les négociations, l'aide de ce gouvernement.\n\nCette lettre, qui a tous les caractères d'un document ridiculement apocryphe et qui est probablement l'œuvre de quelque faussaire d'outre-mer, cette lettre est la seule déclaration franchement hostile en possession de laquelle nous soyons encore à l'heure qu'il est.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\ncontre nous au mois de mars, dans la part qu'ils ont prise aux événements du mois de mai, dans l'effort auquel on les voit concourir à l'heure qu'il est contre nous, s'ils n'obéissent pas aux ordres directs du gouvernement d'Annam, obéissent au moins à sa pensée. (Rumeurs à droite et au centre.)\n\nEt cela, messieurs, ne doit pas nous étonner. Dès 1875, le lendemain même de la signature du traité, le gouvernement d'Annam n'avait qu'une pensée, il ne poursuivait qu'un dessein, c'était d'annuler ou de déchirer, ou par la ruse ou par la force, le traité qu'il venait de conclure, c'était de nous éliminer non seulement de l'Annam, non seulement du Tonkin, mais de la Cochinchine.\n\nNous considérions comme impossible de sauvegarder que nos établissements de Hanoi et de Hai Phong fussent constamment, ou par son incurie ou par son impuissance, menacés dans leur existence, troublés dans leur sécurité, et que nous entendions réduire à la raison, par la force, puisqu'il n'y avait pas d'autres moyens, les bandes de Chinois ou d'Annamites qui dévastaient ou ensanglantaient le pays.\n\nEnfin, s'il est vrai, dans les événements militaires qui se sont accomplis au Tonkin, en mars et mai, nous avons rencontré devant nous des Chinois, des Annamites; mais, malgré des vraisemblances dont je dirai un mot tout à l'heure, nous ne sommes en possession d'aucune preuve absolument certaine qui nous permette de dire que ces troupes, et les chefs de troupes qui les commandent, obéissent aux ordres directs du gouvernement de Hué.\n\nIl est possible, il est, en tout cas, permis de supposer que des fonctionnaires auxquels l'autorité ne procure que des avantages sans leur imposer aucun devoir, menacés, dans le cas où la nôtre viendrait à prévaloir au Tonkin, de voir augmenter leurs devoirs et diminuer leurs avantages, ont pris sur eux de nous attaquer et tenté spontanément de nous expulser.\n\nCette raison date déjà de longtemps.\n\nAu mois de novembre dernier, monseigneur Puginier disait au commandant Rivière tenir de source absolument certaine que le conseil de Hué était décidé à nous faire la guerre et qu'il s'y préparait; et aujourd'hui, messieurs, nous avons lieu de penser que ce dessein n'est pas abandonné, que ce qui se passe au Tonkin ne se fait très probablement pas par ses ordres, mais ne se fait certainement pas sans son aveu.\n\nEt s'il est démontré qu'il nous est impossible de triompher du désordre au Tonkin sans nous adresser à celui qui l'y fomente, que nous ne pouvons établir la paix dans le bassin du fleuve Rouge, sans faire sentir notre action ailleurs, messieurs, nous aurions à examiner également s'il convient, pour abréger les résistances, d'user du droit de blocus et de l'établir, dans les formes voulues et après les notifications nécessaires, soit aux embouchures du fleuve, soit sur quelques points des côtes de l'Annam.\n\nSeulement, nous n'en sommes pas là, nous avons le ferme espoir de n'en pas venir à ce point. Si nous sommes en guerre, c'est contre des bandes qu'aucun gouvernement, pas même celui d'Annam, n'ose avouer pour son armée.\n\nMessieurs, je comprends les préoccupations de M. de Broglie, je respecte ses alarmes. Je me permettrai toutefois de lui demander s'il juge qu'il soit, à cette heure, d'un bien grand intérêt public de savoir à qui, en réalité, nous faisons la guerre, si le moment est vraiment bien choisi pour subtiliser sur une formalité. (Rumeurs à droite. -- Approbation à gauche.)\n\nNous étions au Tonkin depuis longtemps déjà pour y faire valoir, aux termes des traités, nos droits positifs et rétablir la paix. Nous y sommes aujourd'hui pour une autre cause, pour venger une cruelle injure faite à nos armes, nous y sommes pour châtier des bandes qui, après avoir tué nos soldats, ont mutilé et outragé leurs cadavres. (Très bien ! très bien ! à gauche.)\n\nQu'importe aujourd'hui, en présence d'une pareille faute, que nous soyons en guerre avec des bandes d'aventuriers sans aveu et des gens perdus, ou avec un gouvernement qui soudoie ces bandes et s'en sert en se cachant? En vérité, je ne pense pas qu'à l'heure qu'il est, ce qui intéresse le Sénat, ce qui intéresse nos soldats, ce qui intéresse l'opinion publique, ce soit une pareille question. (Très bien ! et applaudissements à gauche.)\n\nM. le duc de Broglie. Messieurs, je ne puis accepter en aucune manière le reproche que m'a fait M. le ministre des affaires étrangères d'avoir fait dégénérer une question de fait en une question de doctrine et de controverse.\n\nMa question était bien celle-ci : Sommes-nous, en fait, à l'heure qu'il est, en guerre avec l'Annam? C'est, assurément, une question de fait; mais pour expliquer au Sénat quelle était l'importance de la question et ce qui m'avait déterminé à l'en saisir, j'ai dû expliquer en très peu de mots quelles étaient, au point de vue constitutionnel autant que diplomatique, les conséquences et les différences de l'état de paix et de l'état de guerre.\n\nLe fait est-il maintenant, après les réponses de M. le ministre, suffisamment éclairé? Oui, pour ce qui touche l'état présent. M. le ministre a longuement démontré que la guerre ne nous avait pas été déclarée par l'empire d'Annam. Qu'il me permette de lui dire que ces développements étaient superflus, car c'est une supposition qui n'avait été faite ni par moi ni par personne.\n\nEt ce qui était plus douteux, après les paroles qu'il avait prononcées à la Chambre des députés, c'était de savoir si nous ne l'avions pas déclarée nous-mêmes.\n\nIl avait dit que nous étions en guerre: or, une des deux parties en question n'ayant certainement pas pris l'initiative, il fallait bien croire, ou du moins on pouvait bien supposer que c'était l'autre. (Très bien ! et sourires à droite.)\n\nAprès les explications de M. le ministre, il est évident que ce n'était pas plus l'un que l'autre et qu'il n'y avait pas de guerre du tout. Le terme dont il s'était servi n'avait dans sa bouche aucune valeur, ni constitutionnelle, ni diplomatique. C'était une expression, comment dirai-je? un peu oratoire.\n\nEt alors, les puissances étrangères, les puissances voisines, dans les cas que j'ai indiqués, qu'en diront-elles et comment se comporteront-elles à notre égard?\n\nJe ne vois donc rien de clair ni rien de précis dans les explications qu'on vient de nous donner. Et cependant, s'il est un sujet où la clarté, la netteté des situations soit nécessaires, c'est dans une occasion où le moindre malentendu peut mettre en péril la paix générale et nos rapports avec nos voisins.\n\nVoyez, par exemple, ce qui vient de se passer à Madagascar. Je ne sais pas, et je crois que le Gouvernement ne sait pas encore bien à l'heure qu'il est, ce qui a donné lieu aux récits dont on a entretenu le Parlement d'Angleterre à propos des incidents survenus à Madagascar.\n\nL'éloquence est assurément une très belle chose; mais, en matière de diplomatie et de constitution, la propriété des mots et la précision du langage, même à la tribune, et surtout de la part d'un ministre, ne sont-elles pas préférables? (Très bien ! très bien à droite.)\n\nMais soit pour le présent, nous sommes satisfaits. Le sommes-nous également pour l'avenir? C'est sur quoi je conserve quelque doute.\n\nIl est très difficile, en effet, de mettre d'accord les différentes allégations que l'honorable ministre a successivement apportées à la tribune.\n\nEn commençant, il a déclaré qu'il n'était pas en mesure d'assurer que l'empereur d'Annam fût l'instigateur des bandes qui infestent le Tonkin et auxquelles notre corps expéditionnaire a affaire.\n\nIl nous a promis que nous ne nous mettrions pas en guerre avec l'Annam sans que les Chambres eussent été consultées, comme la constitution l'exige. Je prends acte, bien volontiers, de cette promesse, seulement il l'a accompagnée tout de suite d'une restriction qui pourrait bien en rendre, à l'occasion, l'exécution assez difficile.\n\nIl nous a dit, en effet, qu'à la rigueur il était possible qu'on f, avec le même pays et le même gouvernement, légitimement en guerre sur un point sans avoir le droit de l'être sur un autre.\n\nC'est là une subtilité diplomatique d'un genre absolument nouveau et que j'ai quelque peine à comprendre. (Très bien ! très bien ! à droite.)\n\nMessieurs, je ne sais pas ce que dirait le Parlement d'Angleterre à propos des incidents survenus à Madagascar. Mais la seule émotion causée chez nos voisins par ces récits vrais ou faux, ne nous indique-t-il pas combien vous êtes surveillés, avec quelle jalousie, et quelle inquiétude vous êtes suivis dans vos efforts pour étendre la puissance coloniale de la France?\n\nJe ne dis pas que vous deviez vous alarmer outre mesure de ces méfiances, ni vous relâcher pour les dissiper de vos prétentions légitimes, ni rien abandonner de ce qui touche à vos droits et à vos intérêts.\n\nMais vous devez tout faire en même temps pour qu'aucun malentendu ne puisse s'élever sur vos intentions, pour diminuer toutes les chances de mésintelligence et de conflit, pour ôter même à l'imprévu tout ce que la prudence peut lui enlever.\n\nLa netteté dans le langage, la clarté dans les intentions, c'est là ce qui peut faire traverser sans péril les situations les plus difficiles. C'est le vague, au contraire, qui est périlleux. (Très bien ! très bien à droite.) C'est des nuages que peuvent sortir les orages. (Nouvelles marques d'approbation sur les mêmes bancs.)\n\nCette clarté, cette netteté, je ne les trouve pas dans les paroles de M. le ministre; je désire qu'il y en ait davantage dans ses actes. (Très bien et applaudissements à droite.)\n\nM. le président. L'incident est clos.\n\n338\n\nC. O. 12783\n\nREC?\n\n\\REGO 26 JUL 33 /",

CC.\n\nVoici l'exposé des motifs qui précède le projet de loi déposé hier par M. le vice-amiral Peyron, ministre de la marine et des colonies, portant ouverture d'un crédit de 9 millions pour le service du Tonkin :\n\nA cet effectif de troupes il convient d'ajouter un bataillon spécial de marins qui vient d'être expédié et qui se compose de 600 hommes (1), ce qui donne, pour les troupes opérant à terre, le total précité de 8,650 hommes.\n\nA la date du 26 avril 1883, le gouvernement déposait sur le bureau de la Chambre des Députés un projet de loi portant ouverture d'un crédit de 5,300,000 fr. qui devait permettre d'une part, de renforcer notre division navale des mers de Chine et Indo-Chine; d'autre part, d'entretenir au Tonkin 3,000 hommes de troupes d'infanterie de marine et 1,000 tirailleurs annamites. Ce crédit, voté par les deux Chambres, a fait l'objet d'une loi du 28 mai dernier.\n\nNous ne reproduirons pas ici les raisons qui ont motivé notre intervention au Tonkin; elles ont reçu tous les développements qu'elles comportaient dans l'exposé des motifs du projet du gouvernement, dans les rapports de M. Blanc subé et de M. de Saint-Vallier, dans les discours prononcés par M. le ministre des affaires étrangères à la Chambre des Députés et au Sénat.\n\nLe but que nous nous proposions est résumé dans cet extrait des instructions remises au commissaire général de la république :\n\nLa seule partie du Tonkin que nous nous proposons d'occuper est le delta du Song-Koi; nous n'entendons pas dépasser Bac-Ninh ni Hung-hoa sur la rivière Claire, sauf pourtant, sur la côte, les points dont l'occupation paraîtra nécessaire.\n\nNous ne nous sommes pas écartés de ce programme; nous n'avons pas changé le caractère de notre expédition.\n\nMais la résistance et les difficultés que nous avons rencontrées et qui ont dépassé les premières prévisions nous ont obligés à développer nos moyens d'action. Pour mettre le delta du fleuve Rouge complètement à l'abri des déprédations des Pavillons-Noirs, l'effectif du premier corps expéditionnaire n'était pas suffisant. De remarquables faits d'armes qui font le plus grand honneur aux troupes de la marine, à nos marins et aux tirailleurs annamites nous ont cependant rendus maîtres de solides positions qui peuvent être considérées comme inexpugnables, et la résistance est actuellement concentrée dans les deux places de Son-Tai et de Bac-Ninh, qui couvrent le nord du delta.\n\nLa prise des forts de la rivière de Hué, accomplie si brillamment sous la direction du contre-amiral Courbet, a mis dans nos mains la capitale de l'Annam; cette entreprise hardie, dans laquelle nos marins, nos soldats et nos auxiliaires indigènes ont rivalisé d'ardeur et de sang-froid, a déjà porté ses fruits. Non seulement le successeur de Tu-Duc a cessé d'être hostile à notre entreprise, mais il a pris des mesures qui rendront la pacification du Tonkin plus prompte et plus efficace.\n\nLes Pavillons-Noirs, délaissés par leurs protecteurs, sont manifestement en retraite; il n'est pas probable qu'ils résistent longtemps aux efforts de nos troupes au jour prochain où notre corps expéditionnaire aura reçu les renforts que nous lui avons successivement envoyés et dont la plus grande partie arrivera à Hanoi dans les premiers jours de novembre.\n\nCes renforts, qui s'élèvent au chiffre d'environ 4,600 hommes, n'ont pas pu être exclusivement fournis par les corps organisés de la marine, dont les effectifs ne sont calculés qu'en prévision des besoins normaux des colonies. Il a été nécessaire de compléter les contingents maritimes au moyen de 1,830 hommes de l'armée d'Afrique pris dans le corps des tirailleurs algériens et dans la légion étrangère. L'ensemble des forces dont nous disposerons au Tonkin au commencement de novembre sera de 8,650 hommes se répartissant comme suit :\n\n  \n    Troupes métropolitaines\n    Tonkin...\n    Hué......\n  \n  \n    y compris celles d'Afrique\n    6,100\n    100\n  \n  \n    Troupes Indigènes\n    1,250\n    200\n  \n  \n    Total\n    7,350\n    700\n  \n  \n    Totaux\n    6,600\n    1,450\n    8,080\n  \n\nD'un autre côté, nos forces navales, tant au Tonkin que dans les mers de Chine, comprennent un effectif de 31 bâtiments de tous rangs, montés par 4,500 hommes d'équipage.\n\nBien que le crédit de 3,300,000 fr. alloué par la loi du 28 mai ne soit pas épuisé, nous estimons que l'entretien des forces dont nous venons de donner le détail nécessitera, pour l'exercice 1883, au titre du chapitre 9 (Service du Tonkin), un supplément de crédit de 9 millions se subdivisant comme suit :\n\n  \n    4° Service marine (2):\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Dépôt des cartes et plans..\n    6,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Equipages..\n    574,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Troupes (y compris le surcroît de dépense qui résultera de l'envoi et de l'entretien, au Tonkin, des troupes de l'armée de terre).\n    1,600,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Vivres des traversées...\n    400,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Hôpitaux (dépenses de traitement à bord des bâtiments)..\n    200,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Frais de voyage et transit par l'isthme de Suez.\n    770,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Dépenses diverses..\n    120,000\n    3,670,000\n  \n  \n    2° Service colonial:\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Services civils (commissaire général et son état-major).\n    50,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Services militaires....\n    972,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Frais de voyage, etc.\n    100,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Hôpitaux et vivres.....\n    1,877,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Matériel civil et militaire..\n    1,375,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Dépenses imprévues..\n    956,000\n    5,330,000\n  \n  \n    Total........\n    \n    9,000,000\n  \n\nNous vous demandons, en conséquence, l'ouverture, au titre du chapitre 9 (Service du Tonkin), d'un crédit supplémentaire de 9 millions.\n\nTel est l'objet du projet de loi que nous avons l'honneur de soumettre à vos délibérations et pour lequel nous réclamons l'urgence !\n\nLe Président de la république décrète,\n\nLe projet de loi dont la teneur suit sera présenté à la Chambre des Députés par le ministre des affaires étrangères, par le ministre de la marine et des colonies et par le ministre des finances, qui sont chargés d'en exposer les motifs et d'en soutenir la discussion :\n\nPROJET DE LOI\n\nArticle unique. Il est ouvert au ministre de la marine et des colonies, au titre du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883, un crédit supplémentaire de neuf millions (9,000,000 fr.) qui sera classé à la 2e section (Service colonial), chapitre 9 (Service du Tonkin).\n\nIl sera pourvu au crédit ci-dessus au moyen des ressources générales du budget ordinaire de l'exercice 1883.\n\n(1) Ces 600 hommes sont partis de Toulon le 10 octobre dernier.\n\n(2) Bien que les délivrances de matériel effectuées par les services des constructions navales et de l'artillerie pour l'expédition du Tonkin représentent une valeur de 3 millions environ, il n'est pas demandé de crédits supplémentaires pour ces services dans le présent projet de loi, attendu que l'exécution des marchés de remplacement ne pourra pas avoir lieu assez tôt pour que la dépense puisse être imputée à l'exercice 1883. Ce crédit devra donc être demandé au titre de l'exercice 1884.\n\n197\n\nRECP\n\n(REG: 22 NOV 83)\n\nPage 197",

It seemed so unlikely that they would run the risk of a war with a first-class European Power for the sake of a shadowy advantage like the suzerainty over Annam, which they had practically allowed to lapse when the Treaty of 1874 between King Tu Duc and the French Republic was signed, that no one believed they were really in earnest. When, however, they began to evince a determination to give the French trouble, and, by supporting the Black Flags, to show they at least intended to hinder the French occupation of Tonquin if possible, it was then supposed that they were animated by a dread of having France for an immediate neighbour. It was only when, after protracted and resultless negotiations, the Peking Government proposed a partition of Annam, by which Tonquin proper was to be annexed to China, while France was to incorporate Annam with her colony of Cochin-China, that one of the leading, if not the primary, motives actuating Chinese Ministers became apparent. The truth is that the delta of the Songkoi is a rich granary, from which a vast supply of rice can be secured, and the upper provinces of Tonquin contain valuable mines which have never yet been properly worked, but which may probably be made to yield great wealth. The Chinese Government dislike the idea of this rich country passing into the possession, or falling under the rule, of any Western power, more especially as the mines in Tonquin have hitherto been almost exclusively worked by Chinese, and most of the outturn has doubtless found its way to the Celestial Empire.\n\nFrom an article on Annam and its Mineral Currency by Mr. ED. Tona, read before the North China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society in December, 1881, and since published in the Journal of the Society, we learn that the working of mines in the kingdom of Annam was first begun when the country was temporarily overrun by Chinese troops during the Ngo Dynasty. Moreover, at a much later period, during the occupation of Annam by the Chinese under the Ming Dynasty in 1414, the Annamites were compelled to work the gold and silver mines without pay, and the metal extracted was sent to China as an indemnity for war expenses. In 1708, the reigning sovereign, King Du-Tong, gave permission to private individuals to work mines in Annam, and he established a scale of royalties, which was adhered to from that time. Such was the apathy of the natives, however, that the Chinese were the only persons who availed themselves of the permission to work the mines, and they appear to have been so numerous that King Du-Tong, anxious to avoid any disturbance by too large a gathering of turbulent miners in one spot, gave orders that the Chinese working in each mine should be limited to three hundred, and that they should be placed under the supervision of Government officials. Ever since that time, the mines in Annam have been worked solely by Chinese, who must have made considerable profits therefrom, in evidence of which Mr. Tona relates that the mandarins of Tonquin complained quite recently that the country was being ruined by the exportation to China of all the gold and silver obtained from the mines. Nearly all the mines are situated in the mountainous districts of Tonquin, but there is one gold mine in the province of Bac-ninh; Annam proper is poor in metals, and the soil is also sandy and unproductive. The poverty of Annam renders it of little or no value to the French, who naturally declined without a moment's hesitation the proposal of the Peking Government that they should indemnify themselves for the expenses of their military operations in Tonquin by the annexation of Annam proper. The prize of victory unquestionably lies in the north of Cochin-China, and the French are well aware of the fact. They may not possess as full particulars of the Tonquinese mines as the Chinese, but they are quite alive to their existence and doubtless intend to work them.\n\nAccording to the list made by Mr. TODA, there are gold mines in the following places in Tonquin:- At Moi-phong-hang in the province of Bac-ninh; at Thuong-mang-moi, Kim-him-oi, Boobang-mai, and Sung-moc-moi, province of Thai-nguyen; at Na-ap-noi and Xuan-duong-moi, province of Lang-son; at Thing-ba-mai, Ha-ba-moi, Thanh-da-moi, and Phu-an-moi, province of Cao-bang; at Dich-hop-moi and Bang-tang-moi, province of Hung-hoa; and at Niem-son-moi, Ngaoc-lien-moi, Linh-ho-moi, and Tien-hieu-moi, in the province of Tuyen-quang. Those mines all made an annual payment to the Government varying, according to their productiveness, we imagine, from four to twenty ounces of gold. The mines in Thai-nguyen province made the largest payments and are presumably the richest. The silver mines, with one exception - at Nam-dang-moi in the province of Tuyen-quang - are all situated in the province of Thai-nguyen, and are five in number. The richest, at Tien-son-moi, made an annual payment to the Government of four hundred ounces of the metal. The copper mines are as follows:- One at Lao-xong-moi and one at Du-dang-moi, province of Hung-hoa; the former paying a royalty of three hundred, and the latter of four hundred pounds of copper per annum. Another mine at Linh-than-moi, province of Son-tay, paid annually to the Government three hundred pounds of metal. The chief mine, however, is that at Tu-long-moi in Tuyen-quang province, which yields both silver and copper, and in such considerable quantities that it made an annual payment of eighty ounces of the former and twelve thousand pounds of the latter metal. There are some tin mines at Guach-nbo-moi, in Thai-nguyen province, and these must have yielded fairly well, for the royalty paid is fixed at six hundred pounds of tin per annum. As yet, the mines in Tonquin have been worked with only very primitive appliances, and it may therefore reasonably be surmised that they could, with European machinery, be made to yield far different results. That the precious metals were at one time very plentiful in Tonquin may be inferred from the statement in the Annals of Annam that in King DAI-HANH's palace, the throne room was fitted up with gold and silver, and that the roof of a pavilion was composed of silver tiles. The savage tribes inhabiting the mountains on the Tonquin frontier are said, from a very long period, to have been in the habit of working mines and bringing down to the Annamite markets considerable quantities of gold, silver, iron, and lead to exchange for different articles. The mines have never yet, we believe, been thoroughly examined by any European expert, nor has the mountainous region forming the northern provinces of Tonquin been explored by foreigners. Until that has been done, no reliable estimate can be given of the value or extent of the mineral resources of the country, but there is, it will be admitted, sufficient evidence - native and Chinese - to show that gold, silver, copper, and tin all exist in Tonquin, and that all probabilities are in favour of the mines proving highly productive in the hands of experienced European miners.",

        "content_text": "The dozen or twenty guns there were on the front attacked by the French were placed in such cramped positions that they scarcely covered more than the country directly in front of them. Here and there, too, there were square wooden trough-like constructions run through the body of the wall, presumably called loop-holes, but absolutely useless except when a body of troops was unfortunate enough to pass directly in front of them. In addition to this, not even the best use that could have been made of the bad material at their disposal was obtained. The Black Flags seem to have handed over the artillery to the Yunnan or Kwang-si militia, and these men neither had the skill nor the courage necessary to serve the guns. It seems undeniable that if the cannon had been employed with anything like the energy which kept up the small arm fire, the French would never have taken Bortay, or at any rate, not till after a long siege. As it was, the fight here, though severe enough while it lasted, was nothing like the struggle at Phu-sa.\n\nDivided counsels no doubt helped the French greatly. The Chinese \"regulars,\" as they are styled, seem to have drawn off early on the morning of the 15th. Then Liu Jung-fu and the Torquinese Prince appear to have had bickerings, and in the end none but the Black Flags seem to have fought. Close to the west gate, where the entry was effected, there is a long street, constituting the Chinese quarter of the town and inhabited in great part by the leaders of the Hak-kis. Up one side of this street went the Turcos and the Foreign Legion and up the other the Infantry of Marine under the direct command of Admiral Courbet, who was one of the first to surmount the works. All through the second day the fighting centred in this street. Turning and counter-turning movements were made by both sides, but all the while the hardest work was in the centre. The Chinamen defended almost every house. They very early found out that the system followed by the French from the beginning of the campaign was to be carried out here. No quarter was asked for and none was given. So it went on till close on nightfall, when Liu Jung-fu's house was reached. From the extensive outline to be traced in the ashes and the pieces of ornamental stone and plaster-work still to be seen, this must have been a very fine building. With its capture the fighting seems to have practically ceased. The Frenchmen devoted themselves to the ransacking of the defeated chief's house, and the Black Flags drew off towards the citadel, which is not much more than two hundred yards off. What the value of the despatches discovered in Liu's house may have been has not yet appeared. The letters from Hué are at any rate of no practical value, unless they result, or have already resulted, in the beheading of anti-French mandarins. The import of Li Hung-chang's communications may or may not have important results. Perhaps the new reinforcements announced to have left France are not altogether unconnected with the perusal of these documents.\n\nWhat followed is long since known to you. The Black Flags drew off under cloud of night to the mountains which lie north and west of the town. The French entered the citadel early in the morning. The entry was, in true modern Gallic fashion, utterly unauthorized and irresponsible. A handful of Turcos and Estrangers approached the north gate, pushed it open, and entered and found no one inside except for wretched Annamese women and children, and 8 or so Scots of still more luckless youths. A flag was then improvised of a length of the red waistcloth of a Turco, the handkerchief of an officer, and a strip off the blue cummerbund of a Foreign Legion man, and the hoisting of this characteristic tricolor on the tower was the first notice Admiral Courbet had of the occupation of the citadel. Inside, the rice stores were the principal captures made. There was a certain amount of bar-silver taken, but the Chinamen seem to have carried the greater part away with them. About a hundred and fifty poulies were found, as also an elephant, since dead, and a small arsenal. It was obvious, however, that all who left carried their arms and cartridge belts with them. The French have made a clean sweep of all the buildings inside the citadel with the exception of a few of the better-class huts for the officers, the Royal Pagoda, in which the Colonel Commandant is domiciled, and the huge granaries of rice, which were piled up to the roof with grain and contained provisions for probably a couple of years. There is also a curious small building used by the Black Flags as a powder manufactory, with regular compartments for the saltpetre, sulphur, and charcoal. The French are tinkering it up into an arms store. There is no doubt that Liu Jung-fu showed good judgment in abandoning the citadel. Its conglomerate walls would even have fallen before the French guns and the whole garrison would have been trapped. It does not seem to have mounted more than sixteen or twenty guns altogether, and these, if possible, were more wretched pieces than the ordnance on the earthworks.\n\nThe French have cleared a wide space all round the front, and have driven wide open ways in all directions out into the open country, necessarily sacrificing the houses of the town in the process. This presents a most desolate appearance at present. Only about one house in fifty yards is occupied, and yet it appears that it is dangerous for a man to walk alone through the streets after dark. Possibly this state of things may improve later on, but it will not do so very fast, if we are to judge from the other towns in French occupation. Nowhere have they as yet more than a mere military grip on the country. They hold the towns, but nothing more. The Chasseur d'Afrique may jingle his spurs down the Boulevard Marty of Haiphong; the Turco may clear the streets before him in Hanoi; the ordinary line-man and his fellow of the Infantry of Marine may kick over old women's vegetable stalls and swagger about consumedly in Nam-dinh and Haid-anong; at Sontay the same thing may be done with impunity, but nowhere can any one of them go beyond the range of French guns. The Black Flags or pirates would be down upon them immediately. The wanderer would be fortunate if he was merely pelted with stones. The ordinary thing would be a spear-thrust, and a pint of nails and pebbles from a blunderbus might be anticipated with reasonable confidence. It will be a long time before the delta is really brought to a peaceable condition.\n\nIt will be much longer if the projects at present seething in the Gallic brain are attempted. You are aware that the idea is to surround Bac-ninh completely and destroy the garrison to the last man, even if there should be twenty-five thousand of them. Unfortunately for the garrison it would seem that the heights round the town are taken, this scheme is quite feasible. This swooping scheme is talked of here in the most matter-of-fact way by naval and military officers, by civilians and loafers. The argument is that it will be a most salutary \"example\" and that under cover of the scare \"produced,\" the French General Négrier is the man whom rumour points out as the leader of the attack - will make a dash on Lang-son, through the hills, and so close the gate from China. Lang-son should certainly have been taken long ago, but that does not mean that it will be taken now, either easily or at all. There are signs that the rains may set in early this year. There has already been a great deal too much for our comfort. In the rains the country between Bacninh and Sontay would be impracticable.\n\nMeanwhile everything here is at a stand-still, pending the arrival of General Millot with the reinforcements. It is a question whether he will allow correspondents to go to the front, and if he follows the advice of those now in power, he will not.\n\nPage 253",

On account of the war with France in Annan, the frontiers of Kuangsi have required special measures of defence. We therefore promulgated a Decree, ordering the Fu-t'ai Hsi Yen-hsi to march out of the barriers and command the garrisons for the purpose of thoroughly protecting the boundaries of the Empire. The said Fu-t'ai, however, delayed his advance, contenting himself with holding Liang Shan, and instructing the General Huang Kuei-lan, the Tao-t'ai Chao Wo and others to guard the Annanese town of Bac Ninh. When the French attacked that place, the General referred to failed to exert himself, and Bac Ninh was lost through his running away; a most deplorable fact, indeed! The evacuation of Bac Ninh was reported to Us by both Chang Shu-sheng and Pan Yen-hsi; the latter of whom himself memorialised Us to award him the severest punishment. Chang Shu-sheng, also, has petitioned Us to consider the penalty to be visited upon him without leniency. We have already issued a Secret Decree commanding Pan Ting-hsin to leave Kuangsi by the Chen Nan Barriers with a special commission to degrade Hsü Yen-hsi and Kuei-lan and Chao Wo and deprive them of office, and place them on their trial too. By this time Pan Ting-hsin must have reached Kuangsi. Let him immediately seize Hsi Yen-hsi, forward him to Peking, and hand him over to the Board of Punishment for the determination of a penalty. P'an Ting-hsin, acting in concert with Wang Tê-pang, will enquire into the causes of the defeat sustained by Huang Kuei-lan and Chao Wo, and if it be satisfactorily proved that they abandoned their post and took to flight, let a Memorial be presented to Us instantly, requesting Our permission to inflict penalty; they need not be handed over to the Board. The Captain Chiến Takuai, who has been already degraded, and who was entrusted with the Fo Lin fortress, lost it on the first onset of the French. The Colonel Pang Min-hsüan showed his cowardice by not daring to advance to the front, but stationing his battalion in the rear. These two are to be decapitated immediately in front of the army. The other officers who were defeated on the same occasion must be discovered, and their penalties must be decided according to the deserts of each. A Memorial will be presented to Us petitioning Our pleasure with regard to the execution of these punishments. Let there be no partiality or concealment! The position and responsibility of Chang Shu-sheng are such that he cannot be held exempt from blame; but as he was stationed too far away to afford assistance, We by a special Act of Grace commute his punishment, and order the Board of the Civil Office to consider his misdemeanour. Pan Ting-hsin will assume the Fu-taiship of Kuangsi; Pang Chi-yu will be Acting Fu-t'ai of Hunan; and Wang Tê-pang Acting General of the Kuangsi Forces.\n\nReverentially obey!\n\nOn account of the Franco-Annamese struggle, the border defence of Yunnan became especially important. We therefore ordered Tang Chiung to march out of the barriers with an army to afford the necessary protection. The said Governor, without obtaining any Decree from Us, returned to his province of his own accord, disregarding the affairs of the frontier; an act which caused the soldiers under him to retreat and station themselves at Shan Hai city, thus incurring the loss of their positions. The hesitating policy of Tang Chiang in every matter of importance, and his incapability to distinguish matters which require promptitude from those which are not so pressing, are deplorable indeed. A Secret Decree has been handed to Chang K'ai-sung ordering him to start immediately for Yunnan with special powers to degrade Tang Chiang and apprehend him for trial. By this time Chang K'ai-sung ought to have reached Yunnan; let him at once depute an official to bring the degraded Governor to Peking, that he may be handed over to the Board of Punishment for a severe penalty. Chang K'ai-sung is hereby appointed Governor of Yunnan, and Li Jong-ching Acting Governor of the province of Kuei-chow.\n\nReverentially obey!\n\nPage 568\n\n24",

        "content_text": "43- 10170\n\nprevious despatches. On the same subject, I have now the honour to transmit the enclosed letter containing many interesting details, from the Special Correspondent in Tonquin of the leading journal of Hong Kong.\n\nI have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, humble Servant.\n\nH.Bowen\n\nEnclosure\n\nTHE WAR IN TONQUIN.\n\nTHE HUNG-HOA FIASCO. [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]\n\nHUNG-HOA, 17th April, 1884.\n\nThere were some awkward quarters of an hour in the month of December that decided the issue of the present French campaign in Tonquin. If, when between three and four o'clock on the afternoon of the 14th December, the Chinese commenced their grand turning movement from the East gate of the outer line of fortifications at Sontay, they had displayed a little more determination, Bacninh would probably not now be in French hands and Hung-Hoa almost certainly would not.\n\nThe flank movement was almost successful. But just when the Frenchmen seemed hemmed in between the lines of Phuc-sa and the river, the Chinamen faltered and broke. They were Yunnan mountaineers and fought well, but they wanted the grit of the Black Flags, and the Black Flags were all in the forts and earthworks of Phuc-sa.\n\nAn hour later the tricolour floated over Phuc-sa. During that night, however, fortune again wavered in the balance. The Black Flags drove the Turcos from their position and were within five yards of the earthworks when the Algerians were placed by the Colonial Infantry. Both sides fired at the flash of the enemy's guns, and the Chinamen gained a slight advantage by throwing fire-sticks.\n\nBut just when the French were worn out with fourteen hours' incessant fighting, the Black Flag bugles sounded the \"cease fire\" (identical with the French call) and they retired at five in the morning.\n\nNext day, the 15th, a fatal error was made in failing to resist the deploying of the French troops along the embankment which formed the works of Phuc-sa. When that movement westward was completed late in the afternoon, Sontay was lost and the fighting in Tonquin was practically over.\n\nYou will ask what all this has to do with Hung-Hoa. It has nothing to do with Hung-Hoa, but there is nothing much to say about that place, and the talk round the bivouac fires was all about Sontay.\n\nThere can be little doubt that the French looked forward to the attack on Hung-Hoa with some degree of anxiety, one might even say, apprehension. The citadel itself was nothing, like other citadels of Tonquin. Indeed, it was more feeble than the others, for it was within two hundred yards of the river.\n\nBut the gunboats could not mount to attack it, for there was not enough water, and the outworks were known to be very strong. Moreover, it was supposed that Liu Jung-fu would make a desperate stand here, on the verge of the forest and hill country, the last of any account on the Song-coi below Lao-kai.\n\nFurther, it was reported a month ago that the warlike Governor of Yunnan had come south with six thousand men and was going to check the French invaders.\n\nBut the earthworks had no cannon mounted in them, Liu Jung-fu was away in the hills between Tuyen-kwan and Thai-nguyen, waiting for the money which China neglects to send him—solicitations no doubt to pay the indemnity which France demands.\n\nThe Governor of Yunnan, instead of marching with six thousand men to the defence of Hung-Hoa, would appear to have marched all alone over to the majority, and the six thousand men were no doubt fully employed at his funeral.\n\nBut perhaps it would be as well to give something like a connected account of the operations.\n\nThere was a plan of operations. There was also a plan for the confusion of the Chinamen at Bacninh. Négrier was to do the cutting off there. He was not successful, mainly because it was impossible, certainly impossible when the other forces did not march in unison.\n\nAccordingly, Brière de l'Isle was deputed to cut off the retreat this time. He was to march up to Bat-Bac, a village which the perversity of map drawers places half a dozen miles inland, but which is really hard up against the banks of the Rivière Noire.\n\nThere he was to cross the river, march by a hill track, and take the Chinamen in the rear. Négrier was to march up to the confluence of the Rivière Noire with the Fleuve Rouge. There he was to cross and march straight on the town, detaching a battalion of infantry, all the cavalry, and a battery of artillery, which was to cross the Song-coi and seize the north end of the bridge which the Chinamen had constructed.\n\nThus there was to be no route left open for the garrison to retreat by except the road to Lao-kai, and they were to be very severely pounded before they made their escape that way.\n\nGeneral Brière de l'Isle with four thousand men left Hanoi on the 5th April to march overland to Sontay and thence to Bat-Bac. General Négrier followed him the next day, and true to his name of Mao-lem, which the soldiers have given him, finished the march to Sontay, which had taken Brière's column the best part of three days, by mid-day on the second.\n\nMao-lem means \"hurry up\" or \"be quick\" and is the uniform cry of the soldiers who guard the baggage train. The convoy of each column numbers about a thousand coolies and extends over a matter of a mile in length on Tonquin roads, so that the refrain becomes sufficiently monotonous.\n\nThe General cries \"en avant,\" the officers ejaculate \"sorrez,\" and the baggage guard echoes \"Mao-lem.\" That is the supposed train of thought.\n\nIt is enough, however, without being so logical, to say that Négrier always makes heavy marches, that he hurries from one end of the column (6,000 yards long) to the other, all through the day, and at the end of the march, when everybody else is content to rest tranquilly in his billet, goes out prospecting the surrounding country.\n\nWell may the French hope for much from his energy and look upon him as the \"coming general.\" Coming for what, all the world knows.\n\nNégrier's big march did not, however, conduce to the comfort of the troops. Nobody in Sontay expected him, and there was no room for his troops, so he had to stay outside, and the wretched villagers who had \"the Legion\" and the plundering baggage coolies settled in their midst, had still more solid reasons for regret.\n\nHowever, next day Brière went off to Bat-Bac and reached there in two days, and on the afternoon of his entry Négrier was joined by the Commander-in-Chief, the Grand Buddha, as the Annamese call him.\n\nA march was made up the embankment following the river the next day, and the troops cantoned within three miles of the Black River.\n\nThere they had to wait a day for the heavy guns; the \"pieces of 80\" and of \"95\" had been embarked in junks and they all got aground with one accord across the mouth of the Rivière Claire.\n\nThey were got off and towed up a mile or two and then got aground again, and finally the men had to be disembarked and taken overland.\n\nAll this took time, and it was in the grey light of a rainy Good Friday morning that the troops arrived at the mouth of the Black River.\n\nBrière de l'Isle had extended his line down the right of the river from Bat-Bac so as to keep in touch with the second column. He had done more. He had established a battery of \"pièces de quatre-vingt\" the day before on a hillock close to the river and had pitched shells into Hung-Hoa from a distance of 6,000 yards.\n\nThis was denounced by everyone as premature and as a blunder. But there were more mistakes coming.\n\nIn the meantime, we were somewhat astonished to find a little post of Chinamen established in a small entrenched barricade right opposite us.\n\nThere was a sentinel marching up and down in full view, and every now and then a man would walk out onto the bank and have a shot at us.\n\nThe river itself was about 350 yards in width, but there were broad sandbanks on either side, and we were on a high bank. We therefore looked on tranquilly.\n\nPresently, however, an unlucky Turco got his left shoulder smashed with a bullet, and then a few volleys of companies were despatched to make the Celestials quit.\n\nThis they did without either delay or loss. Meanwhile, some junks designed to make a bridge and conveying ammunition and stores came up the Red River.\n\nA hundred or so of Annamese and Chinese mixed thereupon came down the left bank of the Song-coi and commenced rifle fire at about 1,300 yards or so.\n\nFinding this ineffectual, they got out a gingal, but had only fired three shots when the Eclair came up and sent them to the right about with some rounds from her Hotchkiss guns.\n\nMeanwhile, the big guns were getting into position on a little pine-crowned hillock behind the village of Truong-Ba, where we had halted.\n\nBetween eight and nine o'clock they commenced their fire. There was a battery of \"pieces of eighty\"—ordinary European horse artillery—and a battery of \"siege guns\"—\"pieces of ninety-five,\" the regular field artillery of...\n\n28* 1474\n\n-lery of",

        "content_text": "The French army commenced a bombardment of Hung-Hoa, firing six field guns at a bamboo bridge over the Song-coi River, approximately 5,000 yards away. Another battery targeted the tower of Hang-Hoa, 1,500 yards farther, despite difficulty distinguishing it from the surrounding foliage. Brière de l'Isle's battery focused on a nearby fort, an earthwork on elevated ground defended by a lake and paddy fields, which seemingly lacked effective guns.\n\nThe Chinamen in Hung-Hoa remained passive, not returning fire, and instead hoisted numerous flags of various colors, possibly as a chivalric indication for the French gunners or a Machi. iavellian tactic to draw fire away from populated areas. The French continued firing throughout the day, expending over 800 shells, but the Chinamen maintained their composure.\n\nAs the day progressed, General Brière de l'Isle initiated the passage of the Black River at Bat Bac, but encountered difficulties, losing three men who drowned. The Chinese, unable to endure the prolonged shelling, suddenly set fire to the town in multiple locations at half-past four. The forts were subsequently blown up, and the garrison began to cross the bridge in large numbers.\n\nThe French batteries intensified their fire, targeting the bridge, but the Chinamen continued to cross without breaking into a run. By five o'clock, the evacuation was complete, and the French gunners ceased fire.\n\nThe next morning, French troops crossed the Riviere Noire and marched towards Hung-Hoa, finding the country deserted. Upon reaching the outworks, they were surprised to discover magnificent fortifications constructed according to European military science, complete with abattis, casemates, and parallels.\n\nThe French realized that the Chinese had abandoned the fortifications without a struggle, likely due to the overwhelming French numbers and the flank march of General Brière de l'Isle. The Chinese had also removed or destroyed their guns and equipment.\n\nThe town of Hung-Hoa was found to be in ruins, with everything burnt or destroyed. The citadel, built on the same lines as that at Soutay, contained only a few remaining houses and the tower. The Royal Pagoda, rice stores, powder magazines, and treasury had all been burnt.\n\nThe Chinese had executed a thorough retreat, destroying or removing all valuable or useful items. The village of Ban-Nguyen on the other side of the river had also been burnt, and attempts had been made to blow up the fortifications.\n\nPage 1574\n\n44\n\n \npossibly",

        "content_text": "Of other valuable vegetable products there is lack. Gutta is found in abundance in the hills. So are a great variety of resinous trees, more particularly that from which the Tonquinese obtain the oil which they use for their lacquer ware, which is in no way inferior to that of Japan or Burmah. There is also a low tree which grows abundantly along the banks of the more upland streams, the fruit of which distils an oil which, it is claimed, renders timber secure alike against the attacks of water and insects.\n\nStar Anis, a valuable essential oil used in perfumery, distilled from the fruit of a tree of the Magnoliaceæ species, is also found in quantities in the northern provinces. A number of other aromatic trees and shrubs have also been seen by experts.\n\nTimber of all kinds is very abundant in the hills north of Thai-Nguyen and Hung-hoa and to the west in the provinces of Mi-Duc and elsewhere. Rose wood, ebony, iron wood, sapan and sandal are among the more valuable varieties. I do not remember seeing the teak tree in any part of the country.\n\nThe mineral products of the country as enumerated by MM. Dupuis, Remaset, du Cailly and others comprise a simple list of all the metals to be found in the table of contents of a work on mineralogy. As yet, however, the French have come upon none of the mines said to exist. They are all in the hill country beyond the delta. The expedition in the end of April to the western hills failed to discover anything of importance. There seems, however, little doubt that gold is to be found in considerable quantities at various places in the Rivière Claire basin and on the Red River, a little below Laokai. The month of October will no doubt show how far M. Dupuis's enthusiastic accounts were justified. It is greatly to be feared, however, that all the mining business will be reserved by the French Government for concessions to favoured individuals or companies. There is considerable irritation in Tonquin just now at the presence there of a mining explorer who is a near relative of the head of the French Cabinet. Notwithstanding his kinship he is not a Frenchman - only a Swiss.\n\nIn the villages on the Bacninh-Thai-Nguyen road there are several iron and copper foundries of a primitive kind. The mines whence the ore is drawn were, however, not found. Next year no doubt will see a good many discoveries in this line.\n\nIt seems, however, probable that the coal mines at Hong-gai in the north of Halong Bay will very shortly be regularly worked. Coal has been brought from this place in a fitful kind of way for a good many years now, and it is said to be of very fair quality. It is extremely easily worked and there is eight feet of water up to the very place where the seam crops out, the seam itself being eight feet thick.\n\nThe silk culture of Tonquin ought to become very important, and there are so many Frenchmen who have a knowledge of at least the most essential things to be observed in the industry that it ought to develop very rapidly. The larvæ are at present fed on a species of mulberry, the morus indica, which grows very readily from shoots, and it is to be seen in huge plantations more particularly in the Nam-Dinh and Ninh-Binh districts. The mulberry tree proper would take up very much less room, and would probably raise finer caterpillars. The Tonquinese have very much to learn in the way of winding the cocoons and other technical matters, even to the weaving of silks likely to be acceptable in Europe. There is, however, little doubt that sericulture will be one of the most important industries of Tonquin.\n\nWith regard to the political state of the country it can scarcely be considered as other than extremely unsatisfactory as yet. The French have already sent off a number of European troops to Madagascar and France, but nevertheless even the most sanguine of them does not pretend that the pacification of the country is any more than begun. There are garrisons of European troops at Haiphong, Hanoi, Sontay, Hung Hoa, Bacninh, Thai Nguyen, Phu-Lang-Thuong (on the Langson road) Haidzuong, The Seven Pagodas, Quang-yen, Nam-Dinh, Ninh Binh, Phuly and Batang, and small posts of a few European or native troops at such places as Elephant Mountain, \"The Bamboo\", Mi-Duc and a few other places. Outside of these it is not safe for a European to go unarmed, and it is almost impossible to get Frenchmen to go even under those circumstances. There are rumours of pirates from everywhere, north, south, east, and west. A band of 6,000 here, as many hundred in another place, and a few score in a third. Doubtless a great deal of this is exaggeration, and when expeditions go out they very seldom come across the marauders. Of genuine pirates there are a few. Ba Bao, their most daring chief, hangs about the mountains to the east of Bac-ninh and north of Haidzuong, and makes occasional raids. It was no doubt a section of his band which gave the \"Zephyrs\" so much trouble a few weeks ago at the \"Grotto Mountain\" not more than eight miles from Haiphong. The Commandant of the regiment received three wounds, and altogether the affair was hardly satisfactory, though the \"Jacobin\" is not mentioned but \"Joyeur\" captured the only gun their opponents had. Nevertheless it appears that the pirates still remain in their caves. Apart from these, however, the \"pirates\" are mere amateurs, distressed peasants, bad characters of all sorts, and the dismissed coolies of the French columns, whom the Turcos and others have taught how to loot in systematic fashion. Amateurs or not, however, Tonquin is not a place to go to for rural seclusion just yet, and probably will not be for the better part of a year. In any case, no arrangements can be made for getting tracts of land yet. The native officials are perfectly willing to sell land and to give the most satisfactory title deeds, but the French Commissioners hang back and say that authorisation must be obtained from the home Government.\n\nTonquin, therefore, though a land of exceeding great promise, is not likely to attract capitalists for a good many months yet. The towns which must necessarily become the most important from their situation, are Hanoi, Nam-Dinh, and Haidzuong. There is a great deal of building going on in the capital just now, and those who saw the town last August would hardly recognise it again. The streets have been widened, and large brick houses are being run up in every direction. On the river front three long jetties have been built in such a way that they will probably all be washed away before October; but for the present they impress the natives with an idea of western superiority and hint at a large trade. Nam-Dinh and Haidzuong are unfortunately very unhealthy and will continue to be so until the elements of a drainage system are introduced. The latter town indeed hardly exists now. Between them the French and the Chinese have almost utterly destroyed what was at one time nearly the finest and probably the wealthiest town in the delta. But from its position it must necessarily rise again from its ruins. It is extremely unfortunate under the circumstances that the French Resident apparently allows the Annamese to build their mud huts in the most eligible situations, and apparently without any regard to plan.\n\nHaiphong still remains a problem. Is it to be... \n\nPage 4133",

        "content_text": "# Paris, 30 Avril '1884.\n\n## Journal Officiel 1er Mai 1884\n\n**Le ministre de la marine a reçu du général Millot le rapport suivant sur les opérations qui ont eu pour conséquence la prise de Bac-Ninh et la retraite de l'armée annamite et chinoise :**\n\nIl y avait deux partis à prendre : ou bien aborder de front les défenses accumulées sur la route d'Hanoï à Bac-Ninh, en faisant de ce côté l'effort principal ; ou bien tromper l'attente de l'ennemi, chercher à prendre ses positions à revers et menacer sa ligne de retraite, en concentrant tout le corps expéditionnaire entre le canal des Rapides et le Song-Cau, vers leur confluent, pour faire tomber la place sous l'effort combiné des deux brigades et de la flottille remontant le Song-Gay.\n\nDe ces deux solutions, la première devait fatalement entraîner de grands sacrifices d'hommes, la seconde semblait pouvoir être obtenue avec des pertes moindres et amener un résultat plus complet. Le général en chef n'hésita pas à adopter cette dernière. Il arrêta en conséquence les dispositions suivantes :\n\nLa 1re brigade partira d'Hanoi, passera sur la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge, longera le canal des Rapides, le traversera vers le marché de Chi et opérera sa jonction avec la 2e brigade. Celle-ci, quittant Haï-Dzuong par eau, débarquera au confluent du Song-Cau et du canal des Rapides, s'emparera des hauteurs de Tron-Cau et de Doson, prendra à revers les défenses des Chinois sur le canal des Rapides et favorisera ainsi le passage de la 1re brigade. La jonction du corps expéditionnaire une fois réalisée sur la rive gauche du canal des Rapides, les deux brigades réunies se porteront en avant et enlèveront successivement les deux lignes de défense ennemies s'étendant, la première, du massif important du Trung-Bon au barrage de Lag Buoi ; la seconde, de Bac-Ninh au barrage de Dap-Cau. La flottille combinera son action avec celle de la 2e brigade, en marchant à hauteur de sa droite.\n\n## DÉTAIL DES OPÉRATIONS\n\n### Journées de 7, 8, 9, 10 et 11 mars\n\n#### A) 1re brigade\n\nLe 7 mars, à 5 heures du soir, commençait le passage de la 1re brigade sur la rive gauche du fleuve Rouge ; opération suspendue pendant la nuit, reprenant le lendemain, dès la pointe du jour (5 heures), et, malgré des difficultés matérielles considérables, s'exécutant dans le plus grand ordre au moyen de soixante-quatre jonques et trois remorqueurs. Le 8 mars, vers huit heures du matin, la tête de colonne se mettait en marche.\n\nLes avis fournis par le service des renseignements avaient établi d'une façon positive que l'ennemi occupait Bac-Ninh avec le gros de ses forces, avait poussé de forts détachements vers le Song-Cau et le canal des Rapides, et tenait en particulier les directions et les points suivants :\n\n| Direction/Point | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| A) Route de Hanoi à Bac-Ninh | Des travaux de défense étaient échelonnés depuis Dinh-Ban jusqu'au canal des Rapides. |\n| B) Route de Bac-Ninh à Phu-Thuan-Thanh | Les points de Chi-nè et de Phu-Thuan-Thanh étaient occupés. Le village de Chi-nè était très sérieusement organisé. |\n| C) Hauteur du Tron-Cau | Plusieurs ouvrages se trouvaient sur cette hauteur. L'organisation défensive du Tron-Cau était complétée par les redoutes de Yen-Diah (sur le Song-Cau). |\n| D) Route de Bac Ninh à Lang-Son | Des retranchements existaient depuis Bac-Ninh jusqu'à Ben-Thuong (sur le Thuong-Giang). |\n| E) Hauteur de Doson | Couronnée par un petit fortin. |\n\nEn outre, deux barrages sérieux étaient signalés sur le Song-Cau : à Lag-Buoi et à Dap-Cau.\n\nLe 11, à deux heures cinquante minutes de l'après-midi, quatre jours après son départ d'Hanoi, la 1re brigade, suivie d'un immense convoi de deux mille coolies, était tout entière sur la rive gauche du canal des Rapides, qu'elle avait franchi au village de Xam. Le canal présente en cet endroit une largeur de 90 mètres. Le passage s'était effectué en moins de 6 heures au moyen de deux canonnières, de jonques remorquées et d'un pont de bateaux rapidement assemblé par les détachements du génie et de pontonniers.\n\n#### B) Marche de la 1re brigade\n\nLa brigade, débouchant du marché de Chi, se leva vers le nord, dans le double but de se rapprocher de la 2e brigade et de déborder par le nord les défenses du Trung-Son.\n\n#### B) 2e brigade\n\nLa 2e brigade, partie d'Haï-Dzuong par eau le 6, avait pris pied à la montagne des Sept-Pagodes (confluent du Song-Cau et du canal des Rapides), s'était emparée le 8, avec le concours de la flottille, de Tran-Cau, du fort de Naon, des ouvrages de Yen-Dinh et de la hauteur de Doson, après une série de combats vivement menés. Dès le 9 au soir, elle se mettait en communication avec la 1re brigade au moyen d'émissaires et de la télégraphie optique.\n\nA midi cinquante minutes, le général en chef donnait l'ordre au général commandant la 2e brigade de prendre ses dispositions de combat. Les bataillons se déployaient immédiatement, tandis que l'artillerie, traversant la rizière, allait prendre position et commencer à canonner les pentes du Trung-Son.\n\nAprès une préparation qui durait près d'une heure, la première ligne d'infanterie s'ébranlait, soutenue par une deuxième ligne formant réserve. Les villages au pied des pentes, les premiers sommets du Trung-Son sont enlevés avec entrain. Notre infanterie poursuit de ses feux l'ennemi qui cherche à gagner les pitons les plus élevés, et se porte bientôt en avant, pour briser la dernière résistance, sur la deuxième ligne de défense.\n\nQuelques coups de canon tirés sur Bac-Ninh suffisaient à briser la dernière résistance, et bientôt deux bataillons d'infanterie, sans sac, se portant en avant, entraient sans coup férir dans la place. A cinq heures cinquante minutes du soir, le drapeau français flottait sur la grande tour de la citadelle.\n\n### Journée du 12\n\nLe 11, à deux heures de l'après-midi, la concentration du corps expéditionnaire était un fait accompli. Le général en chef donna l'ordre suivant pour la journée du 12 :\n\nL'ennemi occupe une première ligne de défense dont la droite est appuyée à la hauteur du Trong-Son, et la gauche au Song-Cau, vers le village de Val. Entre ce dernier village et celui de Lag-Buoi, un barrage ferme le fleuve. La 2e brigade partira de Doson à six heures du matin et se portera sur la ligne ennemie. La flottille, partant de Yen-Dinh, remontera le Song-Cau, détruira le barrage de Lag-Buoi et appuiera l'attaque de la 2e brigade. La 1re brigade quittera son cantonnement de Xam à six heures et demie du matin ; elle se portera d'abord au marché de Chi, en suivant la rive gauche du canal des Rapides. Elle se dirigera ensuite sur le Trung-Son et s'en emparera.\n\n#### A) Description de la position ennemie\n\nLa position de l'ennemi, le 12 au matin, s'appuyait sur les hauteurs fortifiées de Trung-Son et au village retranché de Xuam-Hoa. En ce point, la ligne se brisait vers une direction ouest-est, pour couvrir une boucle accentuée du Song-Cau et le barrage de Lag-Buoi. Ce barrage était défendu par une forte batterie bien armée et par un fortin sur la rive droite, par des redoutes étagées sur la rive gauche. Entre le village de Xuam-Hoa et le barrage existaient sept redoutes carrées.\n\nC'est sur le Trung-Son que les Chinois avaient établi leurs principales défenses. Les sommets de ce massif étaient couronnés de quatre forts, dont les feux se concentraient sur la route d'Haï-Dzuong à Bac-Ninh qui passe à l'est de ses pentes. Cette route était également commandée par un cinquième fort, situé au sommet d'un cône isolé à l'ouest du massif.\n\n#### C) Marche de la 2e brigade\n\nLa 2e brigade, cantonnée dans les villages autour de ses positions de Doson, avait rompu à six heures trente minutes du matin et pris son ordre de combat en arrière des villages formant rideau, à trois kilomètres en avant de l'ancien fort de Doson, face à Xuam-Hoa. Les reconnaissances ayant permis de se rendre compte de la position de l'ennemi, le général commandant la 2e brigade s'était décidé à faire une fausse attaque sur les retranchements du barrage, et à percer la ligne ennemie à la cathédrale de Keroi.\n\nPendant ces mouvements de la 2e brigade, la flottille s'était avancée sur le Song-Cau. Elle avait pour instructions : maintenir sa tête en arrière du pavillon de rectification, porté par le corps de débarquement, qui était lui-même en échelon derrière la droite de la 2e brigade ; ouvrir le feu sur la batterie et les ouvrages du barrage ; ces ouvrages ruinés, diriger son feu sur les ouvrages de la rive gauche, s'avancer ensuite jusqu'au barrage et commencer aussitôt les travaux nécessaires pour obtenir un passage praticable aux canonnières et aux jonques.\n\nL'ennemi, qui comptait 25 à 30 000 hommes, s'était enfui en laissant en notre pouvoir une place où il avait accumulé depuis plusieurs mois des défenses sérieuses, où il avait envoyé ses meilleures troupes et ses chefs les plus renommés. Il nous abandonnait une centaine de canons, une batterie Krupp, quantité de fusils se chargeant par la culasse, des munitions (poudre et cartouches), et enfin de nombreux étendards.\n\nAu quartier général, à Hanoi, le 21 mars 1884.\n\n**Général MILLOT**",

(Signed) **LYONS**.\n\n**Extract from \"Le Temps\" of May 21, 1884.**\n\nDÉCLARATION DU GOUVERNEMENT.-Aujourd'hui, M. Jules Ferry, Président du Conseil, Ministre des Affaires Étrangères, a donné lecture à 2 heures à la Chambre, et à 3 heures au Sénat de la déclaration suivante, relative aux affaires de la Chine et du Tonkin:\n\n\"Messieurs,\n\n\"Vous connaissez déjà les clauses principales de la Convention signée à Tien-Tsin le 11 Mai, 1884, qui a mis fin au différend existant entre la France et la Chine, au sujet de l'Annam et du Tonkin.\n\n\"En attendant que l'instrument même du Traité soit entre nos mains et qu'il puisse être régulièrement soumis à la sanction du Parlement, nous vous devons compte des circonstances qui ont amené ce rapide dénouement et des motifs qui nous ont portés à engager dans cette négociation décisive la responsabilité du Gouvernement.\n\n\"Vous veniez à peine de vous séparer que la prise de Hong-Hoa, couronnant les brillants efforts du corps expéditionnaire, marquait le terme de cette belle campagne, dont les noms de Son-Tay et de Bac-Ninh conserveront le glorieux souvenir. Les opérations militaires étaient terminées; nous étions les maîtres du Tonkin; contre des ennemis bien supérieurs en nombre et pourvus de tous les moyens de défense de la guerre moderne, les troupes de la marine et de l'armée, rivalisant de vertus militaires, d'entrain, et de patience, de tactique et de valeur, avaient porté plus haut que jamais, dans l'extrême Orient, le prestige de nos armes.\n\n\"Au point de vue diplomatique, la situation restait obscure. Les relations avec la Cour de Pékin étaient, en Chine, rares et tendues; à Paris, sans être officiellement suspendues, elles étaient nulles depuis le départ du Ministre de Chine pour l'Angleterre. À Pékin même, le terrain politique semblait disputé entre l'esprit de sagesse et l'esprit d'aventure.\n\n\"L'esprit de sagesse devait l'emporter.\n\n\"Le 29 Avril, le Contre-Amiral Lespès, qui arrivait à Shang-haï avec son escadre, après avoir visité les ports d'Amoy et de Fou-Tcheou, recevait l'avis que le Vice-Roi du Tchili venait d'obtenir du Gouvernement Chinois le rappel du Marquis Tsêng, comme première satisfaction donnée à la France. L'Amiral était chargé de transmettre cette nouvelle au Gouvernement Français. Le Vice-Roi exprimait en même temps le désir de voir à Tien-tsin le Capitaine de Frégate Fournier, Commandant du `Volta`, avec lequel il était depuis plusieurs années en relations amicales, pour conférer avec lui de la situation.\n\n\"Le Commandant du `Volta` partait aussitôt pour Tche-Foo. Le 10 Mai, le Tsong-li Yamên annonçait officiellement à notre chargé d'affaires à Pékin la nomination d'un nouveau Ministre auprès des Cabinets de Paris, Berlin, Vienne, Rome, et La Haye. En attendant son arrivée, Li-Fong-Pao, Ministre de Chine à Berlin, venait représenter la Chine à titre intérimaire auprès du Gouvernement Français.\n\n\"Les 8 et 9 Mai, le Commandant Fournier, de Tien-tsin, et l'Amiral Lespès, de Shang-haï, nous faisaient connaître le résultat des pourparlers officieusement ouverts par le Vice-Roi du Tchili; les deux négociateurs avaient arrêté les termes d'une Convention préliminaire en cinq Articles, destinés à servir de base au Traité définitif; le Vice-Roi... \n\nPage 64\n\n[1474]",

La canonnière portait une aide et une protection sérieuses aux villages menacés ou attaqués. Ce rôle la désignait aux premières tentatives offensives de l'ennemi; aussi, dans la nuit du 8 au 9 septembre, une bande de 500 Chinois attaquait la canonnière; une vive fusillade révélait brusquement la présence de l'assaillant, qui ouvrait son feu à 400 mètres en amont et 150 en aval; en quelques secondes, la Hache ripostait de sa fusillade et de son canon-revolver, et, après une courte résistance, qui permit cependant à l'ennemi d'incendier en partie le village; la bande était mise en déroute avec des pertes sensibles.\n\nA la suite de renseignements obtenus par une nouvelle reconnaissance poussée jusqu'à Lam (18 septembre) et faisant prévoir que cette attaque ne demeurerait pas un fait isolé, mais que l'offensive ennemie allait se dessiner, la Hoche était renforcée de la Massue, capitaine Challier.\n\nLe mois s'écoulait sans nouvelle agression, les canonnières continuant leur rôle de protection des villages riverains, de police de la rivière et de transmission de renseignements. D'après ceux-ci, le commandement faisait préparer une colonne, composée de deux compagnies de légion étrangère, deux du 143° d'infanterie, une de tirailleurs tonkinois et deux pièces de 80mm de montagne, qui devait, sous le commandement de M. le colonel Donnier, refouler les bandes chinoises répandues dans la vallée de Loch-nan et dont le but paraissait être, en donnant la main à l'agglomération signalée à Bao-Loc, de s'emparer, au profit de l'armée de Lang-son, de la récolte de riz de cette riche vallée.\n\nUn télégramme du général Brière de l'Isle, en date du 2 décembre 1884, annonce qu'il a été trouvé dans un des villages du Loch-Nam une proclamation imprimée du vice-roi des deux Kouangs qui vise un décret impérial excitant à l'empoisonnement des Français.\n\nLe ministre de la marine a reçu du général Brière de l'Isle un rapport, en date du 23 octobre 1884, résumant les opérations qui ont eu lieu au Tonkin en octobre.\n\n### Rapport sur les opérations exécutées du 1er au 25 octobre 1884\n\nEn station dans la rivière de Loch-nan depuis le commencement d'août, la canonnière la Hache, capitaine Manceron, avait reconnu ces parages et donné la main à plusieurs petites opérations parties de Bac-Ninh.\n\nDu 5 au 9 août, elle arrivait au village de Lam, point extrême atteint par l'Aspic dans sa campagne hydrographique de 1876; du 20 au 25, profitant d'une crue, elle réussissait à monter jusqu'à Chu, en appuyant une reconnaissance faite par M. le chef d'escadron d'artillerie Palle, résident de Bac-Ninh, et participait à la prise et à la destruction de ce fortin.\n\nRevenue au mouillage de Loe-nan, sa mission consistait à empêcher les jonques de remonter la rivière pour porter des approvisionnements aux bandes signalées dans la haute vallée. Elle avait l'occasion de débander, de son canon-revolver, un parti de 300 Chinois; le lendemain, ses embarcations armées en guerre reconnaissaient l'arroyo de Dong-triên.\n\nDe toutes ces reconnaissances et de sa situation, ...\n\n|  |  |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\nPendant cette période, une colonne, composée d'une compagnie d'infanterie légère d'Afrique et une de Tonkinois, sortait, le 29, de Haï-Dzuong, sous les ordres de M. le chef de bataillon Tonnoi, du 24 tirailleurs tonkinois, et, avec le concours des canonnières Mousqueton, capitaine Fortin, et Rafale, capitaine Babean, poursuivait des bandes tenant la campagne au nord de Haï-Dzuong et dans la vallée du Song-Kinh-thai. Cette colonne rentrait le surlendemain, ayant eu, sur la rive gauche du fleuve, le contact presque permanent avec les vedettes ennemies, mais sans pouvoir les atteindre. Une petite garnison était laissée à Lac-son pour surveiller le pays (rive droite du Song Kinh-thaï, entre les Sept Pagodes et Dong-trieu, à environ 3,000 mètres dans l'intérieur); elle se composait de 50 hommes du bataillon d'Afrique et de la compagnie de tirailleurs tonkinois; elle était sous les ordres de M. le capitaine Canivet, commandant cette compagnie.\n\nTelle était la situation le 2 octobre, lorsque les canonnières Hoche et Massue, en reconnaissance dans le Loc-nan, étaient furieusement attaquées près du village du même nom, par 4,000 Chinois. Le Mousqueton, en route sur le Song-thuong, appelé par l'intensité de la canonnade, prenait aussi part à ce combat, dans lequel nos canonnières, fusillées par un ennemi caché derrière les bambous et dans de hautes berges très fourrées, à une distance parfois de 30 mètres à peine, durent traverser à deux reprises les positions des assaillants en les mitraillant du feu de leurs pièces et de leurs canons-revolvers. Mais nos pertes étaient sensibles: la Massue avait perdu son capitaine, M. le lieutenant de vaisseau Challier qui, frappé le matin, à la montée, d'une balle à la gorge, mourait, l'après-midi, dans la descente; cinq hommes avaient été blessés. La Hache comptait six blessés, dont deux très grièvement. Enfin, le Mousqueton avait, dans son équipage, dix blessés, dont cinq grièvement, et, parmi le détachement du bataillon d'Afrique, d'escorte à son bord, dix blessés, dont trois grièvement.\n\nAprès la mise hors de combat du capitaine Challier, M. le capitaine Fortin avait pris le commandement de la petite flottille, et c'est sous sa direction qu'avait eu lieu la deuxième partie du combat à la descente.\n\nCe même jour avait été fixé pour la réunion de la colonne Donnier aux Sept-Pagodes où la trouvèrent les trois canonnières après leur engagement.\n\nLe même jour aussi, une colonne, sous les ordres de M. le commandant Servière, du bataillon d'Afrique, quittait Haï-Dzuong avec mission de prendre au passage la garnison de Lac-son et de se porter sur Dong-trien, important débouché de routes venant du nord. Il amenait avec lui une compagnie du bataillon d'Afrique et une de Tonkinois, et devait être appuyé par le Mousqueton. Le 3, à trois heures du matin, avant la jonction, Lac-son, attaqué par 500 réguliers chinois, repoussait brillamment l'ennemi sans pertes de notre côté. Rejointe par le commandant Servière, sa garnison entrait dans la composition de cette colonne qui, dans la nuit du 4 au 5, livrait un brillant combat à un fort parti ennemi qu'elle chassait du village de Thinh-ngai, où il s'était retranché.\n\nDevant ces diverses attaques, révélant nettement l'invasion, il devenait nécessaire d'augmenter les forces agissant vers la face nord du delta. Aussi, tandis que le lieutenant-colonel Donnier remontait le Loc-nan avec Lam pour objectif, le lieutenant-colonel Defoy quittait Hanoi, le 3 au soir, pour Phu-Lang-thuong, avec trois compagnies du 23° de ligne (la quatrième n'était pas encore rentrée de My-Luong), le bataillon du 111°, deux sections de 80 millimètres de montagne, la 3° batterie bis de 4 rayé de montagne.\n\nDe plus, une colonne mobile était préparée à Phu-Lang-thuong sous le commandement de M. le chef de bataillon de Mibielle; elle comprenait un peloton de tirailleurs tonkinois, un bataillon de tirailleurs algériens, deux sections d'artillerie et quelques cavaliers.\n\n### Composition des colonnes\n\n#### Colonne du lieutenant-colonel Donnier\n\n| Unités | Commandants |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2 compagnies du 143° | compagnie Fraissy-l'And et Cavellier |\n| 2 compagnies de la légion | compagnies Beynet et Bolgert |\n| 1 peloton de tirailleurs tonkinois | sous-lieutenant Bataille |\n| 1 section de 80 millim. de montagne | lieutenant Largout |\n| Détachement léger d'ambulance |  |\n| Canonnières | Hache, Massue et Éclair |\n\n#### Colonne du commandant de Mibielle\n\n| Unités | Commandants |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 peloton de tirailleurs tonkinois | sous-lieutenant Robard |\n| 3° bataillon du 3° tirailleurs algériens | commandant de Mibielle |\n| 2 sections de 80 millimètres de montagne | 11° batterie du 12°, compagnie Jourdy |\n| Détachement du génie avec deux mulets d'outils |  |\n| Détachement léger d'ambulance |  |\n\n### Opérations\n\nLe 5 au soir, la situation était la suivante : Les renseignements faisaient connaître que l'ennemi était partagé en deux groupes principaux: l'un sur le Loch-nan vers Chu, fort d'environ 4,800 réguliers chinois; l'autre, vers Kep, estimé à environ 3,200 réguliers. Ces deux groupes paraissaient reliés par un fort détachement signalé à Bao-Loc.\n\nEn conséquence, le général se résolut : \n1° A pousser le lieutenant-colonel Donnier dans la vallée du Loch-nan en lui donnant Chu pour objectif.\n2° A le faire appuyer par le commandant de Mibielle, qui avait l'ordre de se trouver le 6 au soir à Hoa-Phu, de manière à pouvoir le rejoindre en quelques heures, si c'était nécessaire. Le commandant de Mibielle devait, en outre, refouler vers Bao-Loc, mais sans les presser, les partis ennemis qui voudraient s'opposer à sa marche.\n3° A chasser l'ennemi de Bao-Loc pour le rejeter, d'un côté sur le colonel Donnier, de l'autre sur Kep. Cette attaque de Bao-Loc avait, en outre, pour but de permettre ultérieurement une attaque sur Kep. Il eut été, en effet, imprudent d'attaquer Kep avant de s'être assuré que Bao-Loc était libre, un corps ennemi placé à Bao-Loc pouvant agir sur les derrières d'une colonne opérant contre Kep.\n\nLe 3, M. le général de Négrier quittait Hanoi pour aller prendre la direction générale de toutes ces forces; il se rendait à Phu-Lang-thuong, pour marcher avec la colonne Defoy.\n\nLe 5 octobre, les troupes étaient ainsi réparties:\n\n#### Dans la vallée du Loch-nan\n\nColonne du lieutenant-colonel Donnier.\n\nLe lieutenant-colonel Donnier se trouvait, le 5 à midi, au village de Loch-nan, qui venait d'être attaqué par les Chinois. Les canonnières avaient pris le contact. Il remontait lentement le fleuve pour chercher un point de débarquement le plus près possible de son objectif, Chu.\n\n#### À Phu-Lang-thuong\n\nColonne du commandant de Mibielle : Troupes de sortie de la garnison.\n\nLe 5 au soir, à 4 heures 30, le général reçoit un courrier du commandant de Mibielle. Le commandant de Mibielle fait connaître qu'il a éprouvé dans sa marche les plus grandes difficultés et est en relation avec le colonel Donnier; il compte le rejoindre le 8.\n\nLa jonction de ces deux colonnes assurée et le pays de Bao-Loc vidé de l'ennemi, le général se décide à marcher immédiatement sur Kep. A cet effet, l'artillerie et deux compagnies d'infanterie, les malades de la journée et le quartier général se mettent en mouvement à 5 heures 30 pour bivouaquer à 8 heures 30 à la pagode Thomann. Le reste de l'infanterie, cantonné à Bao-Loc, a l'ordre d'opérer sa jonction avec les troupes de la pagode Thomann, le 8 au matin. Les pertes de cette journée étaient nulles. Quelques hommes atteints de coups de chaleur sont amenés à la pagode Thomann où ils sont gardés pendant la matinée du 8 par deux sections du 143° chargées de les escorter à Phu-Lang-thuong dès l'arrivée des coolies de transport envoyés par cette place.\n\n### Journée du 8. - Prise de Kep\n\nLe 8 au matin, le commandement n'avait que des renseignements vagues et contradictoires sur l'occupation de Kep par l'ennemi.\n\nSous la protection de l'avant-garde placée à 1,500 mètres en avant du carrefour des routes de Bao-Loc et de Kep, le gros avait pris la position de rassemblement.\n\nLa cavalerie dont disposait la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

The troops engaged in the campaign have been fewer than was previously supposed, and the resistance encountered, though strenuous, was less formidable than many had expected. A few days before joining the column I had been told by an officer in charge of an important garrison that there was a French army at Chu of 20,000 men, but the more prevalent opinion among military circles was that 10,000 was nearer the mark, and so it turned out. In October last there were said to be from 12,000 to 15,000 French troops in Tonquin. Since then a certain proportion of sick and time-expired men have been sent home, but reinforcements to the extent of 3,000 men have arrived to fill up the vacancies. Immediately before the campaign was opened it was well known that the garrisons in every quarter of Tonquin had been almost depleted to furnish troops for the expedition, and the following figures will show to what extent these were reduced. At Nauliub, where there is a native population of 60,000 or 70,000, only 15 French soldiers were left to guard the place; in Nimbinth and Haidnong, none; in Hunghoa, 150; in Thai Nguyuen, 15; at the Seven Pagodas, 50 artillerymen and 2 soldiers of the line, with a lieutenant in command; at Phulang Thuong, sure an or 60; and at Kep perhaps 150. Of course in all those garrisons there was a company or section of native troops on whose reliability too much trust cannot be placed; but I give the figures to show that when all but 200 or 300 of the French forces in Tonquin were requisitioned for the Langson expedition, it was natural to suppose that at least 10,000 men were to march to the front. As a matter of fact, however, the column, composed of two brigades, has not exceeded 6,000 in number.\n\nIt is certain that the number of men placed hors de combat in engagements is but a very small proportion of the number to be accounted for, and confirms most conclusively what has been said about the disastrous effects of the climate upon the army occupying Tonquin. That the expedition should be accomplished (in so far as it has been accomplished) by such a small body of men says much for the skill and energy of the commanders, and the devotion and endurance of the army. That to compose this small army important garrisons in the North and West should be temporarily denuded, while the Black Flags of the River Claire and a large Chinese army on the Red River were threatening, says much for the coolness of the Generals, and shows a daring which some persons may condemn as a dangerous rashness. But it says little for France, or for the Government of France, which has professed to attach so much importance to Tonquin as a colonial possession, that she has left so small an army to attempt so much, or made it necessary to encounter such serious risks.\n\nThere is little doubt that if there had been sufficient troops for the purpose the French army would have been divided into two columns, one to march from Chu, and the other advancing by the Mandarin road, ... the road by way of Phulang Thuong, Bac-le, along which the Annamite ambassadors were wont periodically to make their processions from Hanoi to Peking. There is little doubt also that the Chinese expected the attack on that route, and probably were prepared to oppose strong, perhaps their strongest, defence.\n\nOn the 30th January, with 800 men, General Negrier made a reconnaissance from Kep towards Bac-lo, floated his balloon, and ascertained the position and strength of the enemy. Leaving his balloon to float a day longer he descended to Phulang Thuong, early on the morning of the 31st, and was followed in a few hours by the troops who had accompanied him; and, at 10 a.m. he and his men had embarked and were being carried down the Thuong, and up to Chu on the river Locknam.\n\nTo prevent the possibility of any notice being given to the Chinese of the intentions of the General, the prefect of Phulang Thuong, his secretary, and the interpreter to the commandant were imprisoned.\n\nOn the 2nd February both Generals with their brigades began the march from Chu; and before reaching Langson it became manifest that the main body of the Chinese on the Bac-lo route had been outflanked, and General Negrier's ruse had succeeded. That did not imply, of course, that a stout resistance was not to be encountered on the route from Chu, but it did imply that a much more formidable resistance was not met with, a resistance which may have been almost impossible to overcome, or which could not have been overcome except at a cost which would have been nearly as disastrous as a defeat.\n\nThe forts at Dong-son, which in all numbered thirty-six, were all taken on the 6th, and a halt of four days was found to be necessary to enable a convoy of provisions, including slow-travelling cattle, to arrive. The time was variously occupied in taking a plan of the country from the peak on one side of a limited plain which commands a wide view on the Western side of the range of hills. The Chasseurs d'Afrique also rode across to Kep and returned by way of Chu on the following day. Part of the time was also occupied in exploding the ammunition taken from the enemy, of which there was a great store of all sorts, Remington, Snider, Martini Henry, Winchester, and other cartridges. Here, too, one realised more than previously that the cry of a scanty supply of water on the route, and that supply poisoned by minerals, was a scare originated by the Chinese. A little above Chu the Locknam river turns towards its source S. by E. In the direction of Anchau is a stream along which the road lies for 12 miles above Dongson almost to Langson, it is said to be a branch of the river. I drank of the Locknam (as at the other rivers touched on the voyage, only when bailed, simply because the waters were turbid), and the waters of the streams by which our course has lain I found refreshing to bathe in, and sweet to drink. Other discoveries were made at Dongson. In one of the large forts was found a skeleton, evidently that of one who had been...\n\nPage 424",

Three other companies of the battalion were engaged that day, and cannot have escaped without loss. The Turcos battalion suffered most, having a total of 178 wounded. The Chinese losses must have been proportionately heavy. The number of Chinese engaged has not been ascertained with certainty. It has been estimated that the number of Chinese on the Chu route was 15,000, and the total number of those on the road to Langson has been variously estimated to be as low as 50,000 and as high as 100,000, that is, including the large number of coolies required for carrying home the wounded.\n\nGeneral Briere de L'Isle will go from here down the Bac-le route to Hanoi, taking with him his brigade, or half the entire force. General Negrier will proceed to the frontier of China, but, for the present there is no probability of his making an advance into China.\n\n## 428 \n5",

Bowen \n\nC \n(1) \n\n## Enclosure \n### The Daily Press \n**HONGKONG, JUN 16TH, 1885** \n## DEATH OF ADMIRAL COURBET \nVice-Admiral Courbet, the Commander-in-Chief of the French fleet in the Far East, died rather suddenly on board his flagship, the Bayard, at Makang, at 11 p.m. on Thursday. The deceased Commander had been very ill with fever some two months ago, but had recovered, and it was only two days before his death that he was again seized with the same malady, to which he rapidly succumbed on this occasion. \n\nThe deceased officer, who was 58 years of age, had spent a very active life in the French naval service. He had been noted for his energy, daring, and his uniform success. At the time he was sent out to this station, during the French conquest of Tonquin, he was regarded by his Government and by the country generally as one of the ablest officers connected with the French Navy, and his death will be felt as a severe loss to the nation. Though very strict in the enforcement of discipline, Admiral Courbet was beloved by the men under his command, and he also possessed their entire confidence. As he was trusted by his subordinates, he was feared by the Chinese, who had a high opinion of his courage and of his abilities, and it is possible that if his death had occurred a month earlier, peace on the present terms would not have been so readily conceded by China. \n\nUntil his appointment in the Tonquin campaign, Admiral Courbet had never held so high and responsible a position, and it may be said that from that time to the end of the long war he never failed in anything he attempted. It \n(2) \nC. O. 431 \n13072 \n`REGT(27 JUL 85)` \nwas under his command that Sontai was captured, which rendered the taking of Bac-ninh and all the rest of the campaign a comparatively easy matter. Though his position as a Naval Officer in command of the military forces in Tonquin was one calculated to cause much jealousy in the army, the gallant Admiral was regarded by the troops there with no other feelings than those of respect and confidence. When he left the command there in other hands and resumed his legitimate sphere of action, he was next heard of in the River Min, where he accomplished a very great success with practically no loss to the French. At Kelung he was not able to do a great deal, owing to the inadequacy of his forces, but he captured the town itself against heavy odds, and not only held it against an ever-increasing and most active enemy, but by subsequent victories improved and enlarged his positions. For the safety of the troops there he was obliged to keep a large portion of his fleet off the town, and those who know the unsheltered nature of the roadstead and the nature of the weather there will agree in thinking him most fortunate in suffering no casualty to his ships. The attack on Tam-sui was not under his command; possibly if it had been it would have been managed differently, with perhaps a different result, or perhaps had he been there the attempt would not have been made. Admiral Courbet's next success was the sinking of two Chinese men-of-war at Shipu, and his last achievement was the silencing of the Chinese fortifications at Makung and the capture of the Pescadores, which was done with but very slight loss to the French. \n\nIt is to be regretted that after so much good service Admiral Courbet should not have been able to return home to enjoy his honours, but should have fallen a victim to disease at the scene of his latest success.",

Le thermomètre oscillant entre +19 et +26° centigrades, la végétation se trouve dans toute sa force dans les champs cultivés, où les divers travaux pour l'entretien des cultures diverses font l'objet des soins incessants des Annamites.\n\nLes diverses espèces de riz ont poussé avec vigueur aux premières pluies et font présager une bonne récolte au 5<sup>e</sup> mois annamite (juin et juillet) Leur aspect de verdure offre un beau coup d'œil dans les plaines d'une certaine étendue, où l'agglomération de population est assez dense pour ne laisser aucune parcelle de rizière en friche. D'ailleurs, les riz qui ont été plantés tardivement n'ont plus à souffrir du manque d'eau.\n\nLes autres cultures: patatas, haricots blancs et noirs, ricin, maïs, sésame, arachides et mûriers; plantes potagères: navets, carottes, choux, se sont également bien ressenties du changement de saison, et l'aspect qu'elles présentent semble promettre un bon rendement.\n\nLes industries des poteries, des cuivres ouvragés et du tissage de la soie tendent à reprendre dans la province de Bao-Ninh leur ancienne activité. Cependant l'industrie minière n'a repris nulle part, et l'on ne constate en ce moment que quelques chercheurs d'or, — des Chinois errants principalement dans les montagnes à l'ouest du Day et sur les deux rives de la rivière Noire, dans le haut de son parcours. Ils semblent travailler pour leur propre compte et vendent leur produit relativement plus cher qu'il n'est acheté en Europe. Ainsi, le gramme d'or, coté à Paris 3 fr. 20, valeur intrinsèque convenue, vaut à Hanoi et à Son Tay, en ce moment, 3 fr. 56 environ en feuilles; si on déduit 10 p. 100 pour les frais de laminage, etc., on obtient son prix d'achat à l'état brut, soit 3 fr.21 sur les lieux de production, chiffre supérieur à la cote européenne et qui augmenterait encore, s'il fallait l'expédier.\n\nDans les principaux centres, les résidents font exécuter par les indigènes divers travaux de terrassement et de voirie indispensables pour l'assainissement des villes. Les voies du dehors sont également réparées dans leurs parties essentielles. On travaille aux deux routes de Phu-lang-Thuong à Chu et de Tiendao à Kep par Dongquan, dans la province de Bac-Ninh.\n\nL'entretien des routes pendant la saison pluvieuse exige une surveillance de chaque instant. Les orages sont assez violents quelquefois, par la grande quantité d'eau de pluie qui les accompagne, pour détériorer sur plusieurs points à la fois les meilleures routes. Elles sont d'ailleurs faciles à désagréger, n'étant construites en général dans le Delta que de sables d'alluvions. Les réparations de ces routes se font rapidement par le système aunamite des corvées: chaque village étant responsable des travaux que nécessite le tronçon qui passe sur son territoire; aussitôt qu'un dégât ou affouillement est signalé, la corvée du village s'y transporte sous la direction des notables; mais quand il s'agit de travaux plus considérables, tels que constructions ou réparations de digues et canalisations, le gouverneur d'une province est chargé quelquefois d'en diriger l'exécution par les corvées de plusieurs cantons à la fois.\n\nQuoique l'outillage restreint que possède le pays pour le transport de ses produits sur les voies fluviales ne permette pas au commerce d'exportation de profiter d'une façon complète de la latitude qui lui a été donnée par la décision du 19 novembre dernier, l'exportation des riz reprend d'une manière sensible depuis le milieu du mois d'avril. Les achats se bornent au superflu, que les détenteurs, peu habitués au commerce libre, gardaient dans l'espérance qu'ils pourraient bientôt, avant la récolte du 6<sup>e</sup> mois, si elle n'avait pas été heureuse, la vendre sur place à un prix très rémunérateur. Les marchands chinois fixés depuis longtemps dans les provinces méridionales, représentants de maisons chinoises établies à Hong-Kong, semblent, en ce moment, n'avoir que le souci d'y envoyer tout le riz qu'ils peuvent acheter au Tonkin, étant assurés de bénéfices (35 à 40 cents par picul) dans les très grandes circonstances particulières actuelles, tandis que pendant la période de temps de l'ouverture à l'exportation des années précédentes ces bénéfices ne dépassaient guère 9 ou 10 cents pour le même poids et sur la même place.\n\nLa petite hausse signalée au 1<sup>er</sup> avril sur les riz, paddys, noix d'arec, bétel, thé, sel, bambous, briques et paillottes, dans les marchés, s'est maintenue sans augmentation; il y a eu même tendance à la baisse sur les riz, paddys, noix d'arec et bétel. Cette dernière plante, qu'on avait dû couper ras de terre dans quelques endroits, notamment dans la province de Ninh-Binh où elle avait été très éprouvée par les brouillards de l'hiver, qui lui avaient fait perdre ses feuilles, repousse maintenant avec vigueur et ne tardera pas à montrer ses feuilles si en usage chez les Annamites, avec la noix d'arec, comme luxe ou dans les cérémonies.\n\nLes soins incessants que les Annamites donnent à leurs cultures diverses, les réparations qu'ils font à leurs paillottes pour le passage de la saison chaude et des pluies, ainsi qu'aux digues et aux chemins pour résister à l'inondation périodique annuelle, le curage des fossés, la diminution du stock des récoltes de l'année passée, sont, en ce moment, autant de causes principales qui rendent à peu près nulle la navigation commerciale des jonques du pays sur les fleuves et arroyos de certaines parties des provinces de Bac-Ninh, Son-Tay et Hanoi; mais ces centres ainsi que les provinces de Ninh-Binh, Nam-Dinh, Hai-Dzuong et Hai-Phong possèdent une certaine animation fluviale née de la reprise en avril de l'exportation des riz vers Hong-Kong.\n\nLe port de Hai-Phong toutefois conserve son animation maritime ordinaire, grâce aux entrées de navires de commerce chargés de divers approvisionnements. Les magasins des négociants de cette ville sont actuellement bien approvisionnés de marchandises européennes, qui ...\n\n## INDICATION \n### DÉSIGNATION DES PRODUITS \n| Produits | Poids, Mesures |

Les rizières donnent une belle espérance. Le sésame et les haricots ont été semés en mars, de même du maïs et de la canne à sucre qui ont été mis en terre en février. Le ricin commence à fleurir, le mûrier à se couvrir de feuilles.\n\n#### BAC NINH\n\nLa sécheresse de l'hiver passé a mis un peu les riz tardifs en souffrance; mais il y a lieu d'espérer que, d'ici peu, avec la tranquillité et les pluies qui ont commencé, l'agriculture va reprendre son niveau.\n\n#### SONTAY\n\nLes populations continuent à labourer les terrains élevés et à se livrer aux plantations des cultures diverses: maïs, sésame, patates, arachides et ricin.\n\n#### HAI DƯƠNG\n\nL'état des cultures est bon, les riz présentent une belle apparence.\n\n#### HAI PHONG\n\nLes riz de belle qualité ont subi une petite hausse sur leurs prix. L'immigration européenne reste stationnaire. On s'adonne, comme partout, aux soins que réclame l'agriculture.\n\n#### NINH BINH\n\nLes riz se développent. Les cotonniers sont sortis de terre. Les mûriers commencent à se développer. L'exportation du riz reprend son ardeur par suite des espérances que donne la prochaine récolte.\n\n### Note pour la mercuriale ci-jointe.\n\nLes différences trop accentuées que l'on a pu remarquer sur les diverses mercuriales depuis le commencement entre les prix de denrées dans les diverses résidences du Tonkin doivent être attribuées, à mon avis, à des erreurs commises dans la traduction des relevés sur les marchés, en prix du picul et des petits poids qui persistent et persisteront encore longtemps proviennent de causes locales ayant leur point de départ dans la pauvreté relative de quelques marchés en certains produits, ou en une demande plus forte de quelques produits, par suite d'agglomérations extraordinaires de consommateurs sur certains marchés.\n\nIndépendamment de la différence qui existe entre les prix des diverses provinces et qui est inévitable dans l'état actuel économique du pays, on doit tenir compte de l'impossibilité actuelle de confier à des Européens le soin de relever les cours des marchandises. Il faut nécessairement que MM. les résidents aient recours à leurs agents indigènes dont les indications sont parfois erronées, souvent intentionnellement par la croyance qu'ils ont que les Européens doivent payer plus cher qu'eux.\n\nOn a remarqué au Tonkin un fait qui mérite d'être signalé : c'est que là où la tranquillité est assurée par la présence d'une garnison française et où l'éloignement des fauteurs de désordre est considérable, les mêmes denrées sont plus chères que dans les lieux où la population peut avoir des craintes par le passage de bandes de vagabonds ou une certaine durée d'opérations hostiles; les habitants s'empressent, dans ce cas, d'écouler leurs divers produits aux premiers marchands qui les apportent dans les lieux où la présence de nos troupes suffit à en garantir la possession, dont la valeur se trouve alors augmentée de la somme de tous les périls et obstacles qu'elle a courus pour parvenir à sa destination.\n\nMais la pacification du pays se faisant à grands pas, la liberté du commerce d'exportation entrant dans les mœurs de ses habitants, l'outillage de transport sur les routes, fleuves et rivières se modifiant et s'augmentant, la propriété jouissant des garanties d'ordre et de justice par la présence du drapeau national, seront autant de facteurs qui prépareront dans un avenir prochain un nivellement des prix des diverses marchandises dont les écarts d'aujourd'hui de province à province font l'étonnement de critiques étrangers.\n\n### Renseignements divers. Culture de l'anis étoilé et fabrication de l'huile badiane.\n\nL'anis étoilé, ou badiane, que les Annamites appellent Bac Giai qua, ou Qua Hoi, est le fruit d'un arbre de haute taille qui pousse dans les régions montagneuses, sur les pentes vertes de terre. On le trouve très rarement à l'état sauvage ou isolé dans les forêts de la région. On le rencontre surtout dans les montagnes autour de Ha-Long, de Dong-Dang, de Nho-Quam et de Pho-Vi, qui sont les principaux centres de culture et de production.\n\nLa fabrication de l'huile se fait à Lang-Son, Ki-Lua, Dong Dang et Ha-Long; elle est soumise à un impôt que percevait le Tuan Phu qui était le fermier de la badiane pour la province.\n\nL'impôt variait suivant la quantité de fruits qui entrent dans la cuisson; pour une grande cuisson de 10 kilos annamites, l'impôt est de 3 ligatures; pour une cuisson de 3 à 4 kilos, l'impôt est 1 ligature et demie.\n\nL'huile est renfermée dans les récipients en fer blanc et vendue en Chine, à Luong-Chau; 100 kilos d'huile valent 12 barres d'argent de 100 ligatures, soit 171 piastres, le prix d'ailleurs varie au gré des marchands.\n\nAvant l'occupation française d'Hanoi et de Bac Ninh, une partie des produits s'écoulait par ces deux places dans le Tonkin, mais depuis les négociants de Chine sont demeurés les seuls maîtres du marché.\n\nLes Annamites affirment que le Qua-Hoi, ou arbre à badiane, ne se rencontre guère à l'état naturel dans les montagnes. Au village de Na-Nam, sur la route mandarine à environ 12 à 13 kilomètres de Lang-Son, il a été constaté de visu que les semis et les jeunes arbustes étaient l'objet de soins de la part des Annamites et entourés de bambous, et que les grands arbres sont plantés d'une manière régulière.\n\nUn arbre de 0,10 à 0,15 de diamètre donne environ 20 kilos annamites de fruits; un arbre de grande taille de 0,40 à 0,50 de diamètre donne environ 200 kilos annamites de fruits.\n\nLe fruit est vendu vert aux fabricants au prix de 4 tiens le kilo annamite (prix du village de Na-Nam).\n\nLa badiane est généralement exportée à l'état d'huile essentielle.\n\nAvant les derniers événements, elle valait sur le marché de Hanoi de 170 à 200 piastres le picul.\n\n| Année | Quantité exportée |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1876 | 8 piculs 14 |\n| 1877 | 18 -- 52 |\n| 1878 | 229 |\n| 1879 | 10 |\n| 1880 | 50 |\n| 1881 | 27 |\n| 1882 | 28 10 |\n\nCette huile s'expédiait par jarres de vingt à trente catties; c'était la maison Dat Chuong Long qui en faisait principalement le commerce et allait vendre ce produit sur le marché de Hong-Kong.\n\nIl s'en exportait aussi une certaine quantité par la route de Luong-Chau et de Nam-Ninh.\n\nQuant à la badiane à l'état de graine, il n'en sortait guère de dix à vingt piculs par an; elle vaut de 14 à 15 piastres le picul.\n\n### Province de Ninh-Binh.\n\nLa culture de l'anis étoilé et la fabrication de l'huile badiane se font principalement dans les régions montagneuses.\n\nLe territoire de la province de Ninh-Binh peut se diviser en deux régions bien distinctes: l'une située à l'ouest, très montagneuse et boisée, comprend le Phu de Nho-Quan et les pays Muong, jusqu'au Laos; l'autre, moins étendue, s'étend entre l'arroyo de Pha-Nho et la mer et a pour limite au nord la province de Nam-Dinh et le Day jusqu'à son embouchure et au sud la chaîne de montagnes qui la sépare de la province de Thanh Hoa.\n\nConsidérée au point de vue agricole, la première région, malgré sa grande étendue, est fort peu exploitée jusqu'à ce jour, n'offre qu'une surface de 73,410 hectares environ cultivée pendant six mois de l'année seulement à cause de l'inondation périodique.\n\nPendant 10 ans, le Bac Giai qua croît lentement; un arbre d'une dizaine d'années a de 2 à 3 mètres de hauteur et produit fort peu, ne donnant plus de 1 à 2 kilos. A partir de dix ans, sa croissance et sa production croissent rapidement jusqu'à 30 ou 40 ans, âge où l'arbre commence à dépérir et meurt.\n\nLes Annamites sèment la graine de Bac Giai qua dans la terre fumée; elle sort de les semis de 2 à 3 ans; quand l'arbre a de 0,20 à 0,30, c'est-à-dire de 2 à 3 ans, ils le déplantent et le repiquent; un arbuste de cette taille est vendu 7 à 8 tiens. L'arbuste repiqué est abandonné à lui-même.\n\nLa deuxième région, c'est-à-dire le bas du Delta, produit presque exclusivement du riz et du coton. Elle est limitée au nord-ouest par l'arroyo de Pha-Nho; au nord par la province de Nam-Dinh et le Day, à l'est par la mer, et au sud par la chaîne de montagnes qui la sépare du Thanh Hoa; elle est formée de terrains montagneux dans sa partie sud-ouest, et dans sa partie est de terrains d'alluvions qui s'accroissent de jour en jour.\n\nLes terres qui forment cette partie de la province sont légères, sablonneuses et également propres à la culture du riz, du coton, du mûrier et des plantes potagères annamites.\n\nL'agriculture fournit au commerce du riz, du coton et du thé annamite. Dans le huyen de Kim-Son, un commerce assez important de joncs pour nattes se fait avec la Chine.\n\nPendant ce mois, les agriculteurs se sont livrés au repiquage des rizières pour la récolte du cinquième mois, ont cueilli les diverses espèces de tubercules semés en mars, l'année précédente.\n\nLe prix du picul de riz ordinaire a été...",

R. O'CONOR.\n\nP.S.--I have the honour to forward to your Lordship herewith the Reports of Messrs. Gardner and Allen, referred to in the preceding remarks.\n\nN. R. O'C.\n\n## Sir,\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 116\n\n#### Consul Gardner to Mr. O'Conor\n\nCanton, August 5, 1885.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your despatch of the 24th June, directing me to furnish you with remarks on the effect of the commercial stipulations (Articles V and VI) of the Treaty recently concluded between France and China upon the trade, viâ Canton, with the inland markets of Kwangtung, Kwangsi, and Yunnan, and how far I considered the opening of a Treaty port on the West River—as, for instance, Wuchow—would counterbalance the advantages secured to the French by the present Treaty.\n\nI crave your indulgence as to the time I shall be able to forward the detailed Report, with Maps, I am now preparing, and only venture at present to lay before you certain views formed on the broader and more prominent facts.\n\nI do not think the stipulations alluded to will have an appreciable effect on the trade, via Canton, with the inland markets of Kwangtung, Kwangsi, and Yunnan, and I am inclined to believe that the opening of a Treaty port on the West River—say at Wuchow—would counterbalance the advantages secured to the French by the present Treaty.\n\nThe inland trade between Kwangtung and Tonquin is insignificant; it is a very small interchange of commodities between the Lien-chow Prefecture in Kwangtung and the Quangyen Province in Tonquin. The Quangyen Province is sparsely inhabited, mostly by Hakkas, whose wants are simple; the few Manchester and foreign goods they consume will, I think, as hitherto, reach them neither from Canton nor the French ports in Tonquin, but from Hong Kong, Macao, and Pakhoi.\n\nAs to the inland trade between Kwangsi and Yunnan, I have not yet ascertained how far the Thai-ninh, or Langson, River is navigable. It is navigable, at all events, to Kwang-li-chiao, just above Bac-li. General Mesny informs me that it is not navigable even to Langson. Above Langson the country is but sparsely populated.\n\nThe populous south-west corner of Kwangsi (comprising the Prefectures of Tai-ping, Nan-ning, Chin-ngan, Tien-chow, and Sz-ngan) will, I think, continue to receive its imports by the West River from Hong Kong, Macao, and Pakhoi, and will discharge its exports via Canton. A southern branch of the West River* navigable to Lung Chou, and from thence foreign goods are imported into Tonquin through the duty station on the frontier called Chên-nan Kuan.\n\nAs to the inland trade between Tonquin and Yunnan, I do not think that for many years to come it will assume important dimensions. I doubt whether it will ever be as great as the French expect. The Yunnan Province is not densely populated, and I do not consider that more than a portion of its trade is ever likely to pass through Tonquin.\n\nA great portion of Yunnan is mountainous and sterile. General Mesny informs me that many of the plains are uncultivated, and covered with jungle or long grass. The principal crops are grown on terraces of the lower hills. The towns of Yunnan are neither numerous nor very populous. The great wealth of the province consists in its mines of galena, copper, tin, &c.; these mines are not at present fully worked. Even if the bright hopes the French entertain as to the mineral wealth and future large population are realized, this will not injuriously affect Canton; while Hong Kong, Macao, and Pakhoi will be able to compete favourably with the French ports in Tonquin in supplying, by way of the West River, such increased population with the commodities it requires.\n\n* The Tso River, an affluent of the Nge-yit River, which latter is the southern branch of the West River.\n\n## 442\n\n7.0.",

Les droits de li-kin et de barrière que les commerçants indigènes auront à payer sur ce produit ne dépasseront pas 20 taels par picul.\n\nLes commerçants Chinois qui auront apporté l'opium de l'intérieur remettront à l'acheteur en même temps que la marchandise, les reçus constatant que le li-kin a été intégralement acquitté, et l'acheteur présentera ces reçus à la Douane, qui les annulera au moment où il effectuera le paiement du droit d'exportation.\n\nIl est entendu que cet opium, dans le cas où il rentrerait en Chine, soit par la frontière de terre, soit par un des ports ouverts, ne pourra être assimilé aux produits d'origine Chinoise réimportés.\n\n## ARTICLE VI\n\nLes bateaux Français et Annamites, à l'exception des bâtiments de guerre et des navires employés au transport de troupes, d'armes, ou de munition de guerre, pourront circuler de Lang-son à Cao-bang et réciproquement, en passant par les rivières (Song-ki-kong et la rivière de Cao-bang) qui relient Lang-son à Long-tchéou et Long-tchéou à Cao-bang.\n\nIl sera prélevé sur ces bateaux, pour chaque parcours, un droit de tonnage de cinq centièmes de taels par tonneau, mais les marchandises composant le chargement n'auront à acquitter aucun droit.\n\nLes marchandises à destination de Chine pourront être transportées par les rivières dont il est question dans le paragraphe 1 du présent Article aussi bien que par les routes de terre et notamment par la route mandarinale qui conduit de Lang-son à Long-tchéou; mais, jusqu'au jour où le Gouvernement Chinois aura établi un poste de douane à la frontière, les marchandises qui passeront par ces routes de terre ne pourront être vendues qu'après avoir acquitté les droits à Long-tchéou.\n\n## ARTICLE VII\n\nIl est entendu que la France jouira de plein droit, et sans qu'il soit besoin de négociations préalables, de tous les privilèges et immunités, de quelque nature qu'ils soient, et de tous les avantages commerciaux qui pourraient être accordés dans la suite à la nation la plus favorisée par des Traités et Conventions ayant pour objet le réglement des rapports politiques ou commerciaux entre la Chine et les pays situés au sud et au sud-ouest de l'Empire Chinois.\n\n## ARTICLE VIII\n\nAyant arrêté d'un commun accord les dispositions ci-dessus, les Plénipotentiaires ont apposé leurs signatures et leurs sceaux sur deux exemplaires du texte Français de la présente Convention ainsi que sur la traduction Chinoise qui accompagne chacun de ces exemplaires.\n\n## ARTICLE IX\n\nLes stipulations de la présente Convention Additionnelle seront mises en vigueur, comme si elles étaient insérées dans le texte même du Traité du 25 Avril, 1886, à partir du jour de l'échange des ratifications des dits Traité et Convention.\n\n## ARTICLE X\n\nLa présente Convention sera ratifiée dès à présent par Sa Majesté l'Empereur de Chine et dès qu'elle aura été ratifiée par le Président de la République Française l'échange des ratifications aura lieu à Pékin.\n\nFait à Pékin, le 26 Juin, 1887.\n\n## Annexe\n\n(Signé)\n\nCONSTANS. Prince KING. SOUN.\n\nDans une lettre officielle en date du 23 Juin, 1887, le Gouvernement Chinois s'engage à ajourner la nomination de Consuls dans les principales villes du Tonkin jusqu'au jour où la France et la Chine estimeront que les circonstances permettent de les établir.\n\nIl est entendu, en outre, que lorsque le Gouvernement Chinois établira des Consuls à Hanoi et à Haiphong, le Gouvernement Français pourra en nommer dans les capitales des Provinces du Yünnan et du Kouang-si,\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\nExtract from the \"Revue Internationale\" of October 9, 1886.\n\n### LA DÉLIMITATION DE LA FRONTIÈRE DU TONKIN\n\nLe village de Binki borde la rive droite du Song-ki-kung qui a environ 60 mètres à cet endroit; un bac permet de traverser la rivière; la rive gauche est couronnée de forts barrant la route de Long-tchéou. En avant de ces forts de petites maisons carrées en briques peintes en blanc servent d'avancées au camp Chinois; enfin, en amont de Binki un barrage complète la défense du Song-ki-kung.\n\nPar cette rivière on met à peine un jour pour descendre à Long-tchéou. Aussi trouve-t-on à Binki des sampans et des radeaux formant des maisons flottantes comme on en voit sur la rivière de Canton.\n\nDe la frontière du Tonkin à Long-tchéou et de là par la rivière de Canton et la mer on a donc une voie navigable à sa disposition, ce qui est fort important à retenir.\n\nPage 628\nPage 437",

I object therefore to an insinuation that I felt ashamed to allude to, or incapable of criticising, the results of English subjects. Of these papers have been preserved, I would lay them before any prejudiced authority on education, without the least hesitation.\n\n(4) With regard to English teaching by Chinese (p.967), I should only be too delighted and proud, for these Chinese Assistants to give lessons for a few minutes in the presence of His Excellency.

The capitalized value of the Crown Rent of $39.63 is therefore $990.75.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Humble Servant,\n**Amay GOVERNOR, &C.**\n\nThe Right Honourable JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.\n\n### Previous Correspondence Notes\n\nout, was used & I think the public; at any rate no rent has been received of the Colonial Govt for 30 years in respect of it. I think therefore we are bound by the last par. four letter on 28.3.34 not to change the Admiralty's assessment quoted in this letter.\n\ncapitalized ? So for Adm 1/4 Co. hi Songfuld D G.W.J. (AF) 24/1\n\nI do not understand how the Crown rent remained in abeyance. As for certain land I see what happened was that the Govt leased or bought out the lessees. I should have thought that this extinguished the rent altogether. It appears to me that we cannot now go back from the last paragraph four letter to the Admiralty in 28:34 that we must now tell the How Commrs that nothing will be allowed in respect of any Crown rent on the roadway & tell the day that this has been made over being done.\n\nSo proved the Cession route was ABC 25-Jan'[9] Batin explaining to the Govt. that extinguisher when the Crown bought the land which was subject to it stence Ed my 2386ry\n\nNo.340. \n1042 \n& \n23 JAN 19 264 \n\nPage numbering appears as metadata: No.340, 1042, 23 JAN 19 264",

For the Hong-kong and Straits Settlements services, the Colonial Office were not in favour of making Chinese an optional subject in the cadet examination, as the language was better learnt in the East. With regard to the Chinese Consular service, he understood that the system by which student interpreters devoted two years to the study of Chinese at Peking on entering the service had been found to work well and there was no intention of altering it. In several branches of the service rewards were given for the study of Chinese.\n\n`STORY BAC 14 (74)-150-10006-12 #7`  \n**Subsequent Paper**",

The deposit would, of course, be earmarked as security for the note issue.\n\n(ii) that this arrangement should, in the first instance, be limited to a period of one year.\n\n(iii) that the empowering Ordinance should embody the arrangement which was made with the Bank in 1889 with regard to the security for their ordinary note-issue.\n\nTheir Lordships desire me to point out that it will probably be convenient to arrange that the Bank should not deposit or withdraw sums of less than (say) $50,000 at the Colonial Treasury. They understand that no objection...\n\nIn the reply to this Letter the following Number should be quoted.\n| Number |\n|--------|\n| 11426  |\n| Gov 15593/98 |\n\nThe Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office.\n\nPage 592 \nREP 15 JUL 13 \n0.0. 592 15847 \n581 \n\n...have gone.

Before doing this, we ought to have the views of Mr. Lockhart, which we should send to the C.A.F. at the same time.\n\nThe most difficult question is that of the opium farm, which must be dealt with separately and distinctly.\n\nAnother question of considerable difficulty is the definition in the Merchant Shipping Ordinance of the territorial waters of Hong Kong. This question should, I think, be raised and dealt with separately.\n\n2-11 Thank Mr. Goodman  \n(2) Refer to Mr. Lockhart for observations  \nABC 7 Dec '18  \n\nI, Lockhart, will you be good enough to remark on a draft ordinance?  \n7/12  \nThe memo  \nSir W. Hamilton  \n\nIt appears that there are two opinions regarding the manner in which the legislation at present in force in Kowloon should be extended to the new territory.\n\nThe opinion, which I gathered from the minutes written on my report, is in favour of extending that legislation gradually and only after experience has shown that the existing laws warrant extension. The minutes of Mr. White and Mr. ... are in favour of extension under such circumstances as to warrant extension. From a perusal of Mr. Fraser's, it seemed to me that the feeling of that gentleman and Lord Selborne, as well as Mr. Wingfield and Mr. Lucas, was in favour of this opinion.\n\nThe other opinion, which finds expression in the minute by Mr. Lockhart and memo. of Mr. Goodman, is in favour of extending at once to the new territory the laws which, to quote the words \"nominally in force, but which are in practice not enforced\", though they may be called on...\n\nI may state at once that I am in favour of the former opinion. It seems to me to be putting the cart before the horse to extend to the new territory laws which are not being enforced in the hope that they may someday be put in practice. It appears to me that the wiser and more politic course to follow would be to extend to the new territory in question only such laws as could be enforced, and after experience has shown what further legislation is necessary.\n\nPage 381",

        "content_text": "## logirul \n\nOne thing I must think be allowed; \n\nI think however that when we should point out to him that if the public servant on his final retirement he again draws emoluments from Hongkong Funds, whether of his final Hong Kong Salary or Pension, he may elect to contribute to the Fund while abroad, according to the usual Rule, there would be deduction in the Colony before any payment is made to himself. We should tell him that the C.A. have been instructed to receive from him the payable quarterly with the equivalent of $160 per annum from 30th July 1897, that being the amount of his final contribution to the Pension Fund in Hongkong, - as above.\n\n1) Inform Govt saying that at present Mr L. is entitled to contribute at the current rate of Exchange, but add that he has been warned that when he is awarded a Pension from Hongkong his contributions will, according to the usual rule, be deducted in the Colony.\n\n6/6. pu96/6 \n\nAs a matter of common-sense, I entirely agree with the above. Ch. 6 W Johnson, but I am rather doubtful whether it is quite justified by the terms of S 3 of 1897. Weil distinct says that a person who leaves the Colony \"may continue to contribute .... at the same rate and subject to the same forms as if he had continued in the service of the Colony\". This is the first case of the kind, & others will be careful to note what we do. Perhaps the Crown would look at this as the safer course.\n\nIf some alteration were made, and I think in some cases it would be wise to tolerate the above dispensation beyond distinction.\n\nCertainly, Mr Wingfield, I think that we should bridge the contribute at the same rate on the same terms only if he had continued in the service of the Colony & that this means that the actual amount which would have been deducted if he had continued in the Government service must be paid by him now. To this by paying at the current rate of Exchange.\n\nThat is what he would pay if he were in the Colony. The remedy is by legislation only. Merkighes should see this I think.\n\nABC mi Wingfield C.P.I. \n\nJ am rather stupid, I am afraid, but I do not see what the question is. The question is to Mr Lethbridge's obligation to pay $4,160 dollars to the Treasury at Hong Kong as if he had continued in the public service in the Colony, by monthly payments or quarterly (I presume) in sterling at the rate of exchange for the day. \n\nI see no objection to this except for the trouble to the Crown Agent in calculating and verifying the correctness of the calculation at each payment - but there are not many persons who keep up their subscription to the Fund.\n\nI think the Crown contributions, of course, cease when a person leaves the service of the Colony. This is a Colonial matter whether they continue or not. The Colonial Govt should hand over to the Crown the amount due.\n\nBut we may note that the case of Controbutors who are in receipt of salary or pension is different, as the 4 per cent is deducted in the Colony from the salary or pension.\n\nWB & L (x)-82182-8000-6-97 \n\nBY \n\nmust on his ash tomitting 8.33 months to the Treasurer. \n\nThe case is different as regards those who are in receipt of salary or pension.

Early in November last the Captain Superintendent of Police was authorised to take steps to procure with the assistance of Inspector Lee of the Registrar General's Department and the co-operation of the Registrar General, the closing of practically all the brothels which had established themselves in the central part of the city in the respectable business and residential quarters where they have been the source of much annoyance for a number of years.\n\n3. The work of clearing the central part of the City has now been completed and 183 brothels have been removed while no less than 295 brothels, rather than remove, have closed and the large majority of the inmates have left the Colony. By the closing of these brothels 335 floors were set free of which 314 were found at the end of last month to be in occupation of respectable people while 18 were occupied by kept women or women of doubtful character and 3 were to let.\n\nNo more striking evidence could be had of \n\n**RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,** &C &C &C \n\n97",

        "content_text": "226\n\n22 a\n\n11\n\nAs to the relative prevalence of the three species of Anopheles, I am not able to speak as regards the 294 Anopheles which I received during the last quarter of 1900, but of 875 received during the three quarters of 1901 included in this research, 483 were Anopheles Sinensis, 249 Anopheles Maculatus, and 143 Anopheles Minimus.\n\n10. I have differentiated twelve species of Culex, which I describe at length in the Appendix. There are probably considerably more, as some of the varieties of certain species which I describe may be regarded by entomologists as distinct species. I do not attempt to follow Theobald in his new classification of mosquitoes, just published in the Tropical Journal, into twenty-four different genera, breaking up the old genus Culex into some twenty new genera, based on the arrangement of the scales which cover the insects. For instance, he now describes Culex Scutellaris and Culex Obturbans, two of the most common of the Hongkong mosquitoes, as Stegomyia Scutellaris and Armigeres Obturbans. Culex Fatigans, Culex Scutellaris, Culex Obturbans, and Culex Concolor have been described before. Culex Aulus, Culex Sericeus, and Culex Reesii are new species, and have been named by Mr. Theobald from specimens which I submitted to him. Culex Reesii he has so called from our mutual friend Dr. D. C. Rees, lately Superintendent of the London School of Tropical Medicine, who put me in communication with Mr. Theobald. The insects which I have indicated by the letters, \"n\", \"o\", \"p\", \"r\", \"r\", and \"s\", I have carefully described, but not named. \"p\" may be Culex Fuscanus; the others are, I think, new species but this question I shall remit to Mr. Theobald at the British Museum.\n\nCulex Scutellaris is the black and white striped mosquito so common all over the Colony during the day time; Culex Fatigans and Culex Reesii are the equally common brown mosquitoes, to be found everywhere and at all seasons in the evening; Culex Obturbans is the very large dark mosquito, also very widely prevalent. The others are less abundant, but for the most part occur pretty generally throughout the Colony.\n\nIt may be noted in passing that Culex Fatigans is the most usual intermediate host of the blood parasite, Filaria Nocturna, the cause of Elephantiasis and its kindred diseases, by no means uncommon in this locality.\n\nWhile Anopheles as a rule only use for breeding purposes clean water in more or less natural collections, the various species of Culex lay their eggs wherever stagnant water exists, in broken dishes, empty tins, flower pots, water tanks or barrels, drain traps, and the like. Nothing is too dirty to have its appropriate mosquito developing in it. Culex Obturbans is the most loathsome of all in its larval state, finding its most favourable conditions in decomposing urine.\n\n11. I do not propose to enter here into details of prophylaxis against these insects, which I have dealt with in special reports: but direct attention to certain observations which I made during the winter.\n\nI found the larvae of Anopheles in the nullahs throughout the whole winter, in scarcely diminished numbers, though there were few in the pupa stage, and development at that season is evidently very slow or arrested.\n\nI was able to note the effects of severe cold at the beginning of February. On 1st February, I had made a careful examination of the Kennedy Town nullah, and found Anopheles larvæ plentiful. On the 3rd there was a sudden rapid drop in the temperature, and when I examined the stream again on the 5th there were few larvæ to be seen. It seemed as if they had been killed by the cold. But fortunately I had some larvæ under observation at the time in a glass jar in my verandah. Under the influence of the cold these became torpid or sluggish, and most of them seemed dead.\n\nOn the 7th, however, the sun shone out brightly, and the seemingly dead ones as well as the others became quite lively again. It is probable, therefore, that much of the diminution in numbers of the larvae in the ravines during the winter is more apparent than real, since they are most easily recognised in ordinary circumstances by their very characteristic movements when disturbed.\n\nDr. J.

It is essential to the sanitary welfare of the\n\nColony that there should be a chief administrative officer for\n\nthe Sanitary Department who should be skilled and experienced\n\nin sanitary matters and who should devote the whole of his time to the duties of his office. The reasons are very fully given\n\nin the Report on the causes and continuance of plague in Hongkong, para. 13, page 10, and also paras. 14, 15, 16, and I on pages 110 to 112 and show that the duties are such as to fully\n\noccupy the whole time of the Sanitary Commissioner.\n\nThese duties cannot, in my opinion, be satisfactorily united with those of the Head of the Medical Department. In an important and thickly populated Colony such as Hongkong it is not practicable to combine the experience of a skilled physician, whose life work is spent in the treatment of the sick and in hospital management with that of an expert in Sanitary matters whose training in preventive work is of a totally different character and involves many years of special study and administrative experience.\n\nThe duties of the Head of the Medical Department, combining as they do the management, control and discipline of the several Government Hospitals, Hospitals for infectious diseases, Dispensaries, Asylums, Jails and the nursing staffs, together with the conduct of correspondence with Government on these matters, the general control of administration,",

Chang went to Canton to see this man and told him he could find him employment at Hongkong if he would come to see him there, and in the evening of March 15th. Au proceeded to Hongkong in pursuance of this invitation. Chang met him on the steamer and took him to a house he had hired, and there entertained him for some days with great apparent hospitality, but during this time he was really making arrangements with the Chinese Naval Authorities for the removal of the dead body to Canton after the murder he contemplated committing. All being ready, the man Au was murdered on the 24th. March. His body was seen in Chang's house on the evening of that day, bearing all the marks of a death by violence. Next day Chang engaged coffin carriers who took the body, hidden in a large basket to a steam-launch which conveyed it to an Island near Hongkong. There it was transferred to an undertaker's boat, which proceeded to Chik Hom where it was met by a Chinese Gunboat, the \"Kuang Heng\", which was waiting there, and taken to a place near Fu Mun, the headquarters of Admiral Ho.\n\nFor the murder of Au nothing would of course have been paid to Chang, but he entered into a bond declaring that the dead body delivered up by him was that of the rebel Hung, and in this statement he was supported by six officers of Admiral Ho's command, namely, Ho Mei-tsung, Lieutenant of the right patrol of the advance division of the Admiral's force; Liu Chin-jung, Lieutenant of the right patrol of the left wing of the Ta Peng regiment; Su Ting-chen, Acting Sergeant in charge of the Military Station at Li Tsun in the left wing of the Kuang-chou command; Feng Hsing-xuo, Lieutenant, first on the list for promotion, of the left wing of the Kuangchou regiment; Chu Chang, Sergeant, first on the list for promotion, of the left wing of the Kuangchou regiment; and Lin Shan, Acting Lieutenant in the right wing of the Admiral's command.\n\nAs Hung was not dead, these declarations were of course false, but the important feature in the case is not",

The only other settlement is by full compensation of a nature which can also be applied to our other concessions.\"\n\nI am accordingly proceeding to Canton this evening and will send a letter to Mr Scott, which you were kind enough to give me, with the result of my interview with him. After seeing him, I shall be in a better position to judge of the prospect of arriving at an understanding in the matter.\n\nThanking you for your kind assistance and advice,  \nYours sincerely,  \nV.

March, No. 12 of 1902, in reply to the Petition of our clients the Executrixes of Tong Wan Chiu and Ku Fai Shan, in which you inform us that His Excellency is unable to accede to the prayer of the Petitioners.\n\n2.\n\nIn reply to paragraph 2 of your letter, we are quite aware that an Affidavit of the Magistrate of the San On District was filed to the effect that, in his opinion, the Deed of the 10th. January, 1883, was a forgery. We do not know how the Magistrate was induced to make such an Affidavit, but in any case it is common knowledge that Chinese Mandarins are notoriously corrupt and unprincipled, and any evidence by such a Mandarin must be received with the greatest suspicion, especially when the same is given by Affidavit, and is not subject to the usual test of cross-examination.\n\n3.\n\nWe think however you have not quite appreciated the point made in paragraph 27 of our clients' Petition in this matter. The point is as follows: It is evident that the said deed of the 10th. January, 1883, (although stated by the Magistrate to be a forgery) had in fact been recognised and acted upon by the Chinese Authorities for many years past. This appears from documents which were put in on the hearing of the Appeal, namely the receipts for taxes paid to the Chinese Government in respect of the Land in question. These receipts state that the payer of the tax was Yut Ying, the family name denoting...",

In fact the matter was one of uncertainty. As events have shown they have to live at Kowloon for the good of the work and communication with the Government, and within reasonable limits they may be held to have taken the risk of this obligation. But when the dearness of quarters at Kowloon is considered amounting to from 16 to 20 per centum of their income it appeared to us a case of hardship which should be met and we accordingly recommended that about one half of their rent should be defrayed by the Government. \n\n7. \nWith regard to the second point, we think it should be remembered that those employed on the construction of the Railway only hold a temporary appointment and accordingly receive a higher salary than those holding a permanent position. Further, it should be remembered that those holding a permanent Government appointment qualify for a pension while those holding only a temporary one do not. \n\n8. \nWe therefore repeat our recommendations; first, that Mr. Eves be granted a House Allowance of £100 per annum, secondly, that those members of his staff resident in Kowloon should be granted an allowance of £60 per annum, and thirdly, that no rent should be charged for the temporary quarters which have been assigned to those members of the staff working up country.",

Confidential.) \n\nSir, \n\nHanoi, July 3, 1908. IN my despatch No. 6 of the 18th May last, I referred to the disturbed condition of Tonquin, I have now the honour to report that since that date matters have become worse. \n\nOn the 24th ultimo two British subjects, Messrs. Fearby and Sutherland, were murdered up-country. They were mining prospectors of Australian origin, and in conjunction with a Frenchman here were engaged in work on a copper mine on account, I am given to understand, of a capitalist of Hong Kong. They were shot in their house in the village of Trai-Moi, Province of Bac-Giang, to the north-east of Phn-lang-Thuong, The crime is said to have been committed by a band of armed brigands, and its motive was robbery, three guns, two revolvers, ammunition, and some 300 dollars having been taken. The authorities here have expressed their regret at the crime and given strict orders that every endeavour be made to arrest the guilty parties. As the complicity of the villagers seems to be established from the inquiry that has been held, the head of the village and seventeen of the principal inhabitants have been arrested. Detachments of militia have also been dispatched in pursuit of the actual murderers, but, judging from what has occurred recently in similar cases, I do not feel sanguine as to their speedily effecting an arrest. \n\nMessrs. Fearby and Sutherland had been very good to the inhabitants of the village, paying them well for their work and giving them free medicine from a portable medicine chest which they had brought up. When warned recently that the country was in a somewhat disturbed state, Mr. Fearby had declared that he had no fear, as his villagers would warn him at once if there were any danger. Yet when the time came the villagers did nothing to protect or warn him, though they must have known of the arrival of the band; in fact, it seems almost certain that some of them must have led the robbers to the spot. I therefore entirely agree with the action of the authorities in arresting the principal villagers. \n\nI have not yet obtained the address of these gentlemen's relatives. \n\nOn the evening of the 28th great excitement was caused in Hanoi by an attempt to poison part of the European garrison. The men of two companies of colonial infantry and of the artillery were the victims of the attempt, which, however, did not have fatal consequences. The poison used seems to have been \"datura,\" which has the effect of rendering men incapable of any effort for several hours. The plot seems to have originated among the \"compagnie des ouvriers indigènes\" of the artillery. The police and military authorities had already information that something was on foot and that certain members of this company had been inciting the native troops to mutiny. As soon, therefore, as the poisoning of the Europeans was known, the ringleaders were arrested and all the native guards at different points were replaced by Europeans, Various groups of natives had, evidently by a preconcerted arrangement, assembled in the outskirts of the town. These were dispersed without difficulty. It is said that large bands were waiting further outside ready to come in on a given signal, and, according to native rumour, the ex-rebel and pirate, the Dê-Tham (referred to in my above-mentioned despatch) was in disguise in Hanoi at the time ready to take the command. Twenty-three of the presumed conspirators have been arrested, and are being examined behind closed doors by a Tribunal specially appointed. If found guilty, it is anticipated that they will be publicly executed. \n\nSince this event the European civilian population of Hanoi has been in a somewhat nervous condition, and a portion of it has rather lost its sense of dignity. On the evening of the 30th, after a public meeting of citizens at a local café, about 300 of them, including some members of the Municipal Council, marched to Government House, forced their way in past the guard, and in a disorderly and menacing manner. \n\n[1905 9- -1]",

        "content_text": "roads, whether inside or outside the International Settlement, was acquiesced in by the Chinese authorities. No sooner, however, had the new Chinese municipality been inaugurated than the Taotai, at the request of the Paoshan Magistrate, who was temporarily in charge of its affairs, addressed a letter to the Senior Consul asking for the removal of the municipal police from the North Szechuan road extension, which was stated to be within the area under its control. He informed the Consular Body that a sufficient number of well-trained native police had been engaged to maintain order, and that there was no longer any necessity for the Council to police the road. In view, however, of the fact that since the establishment of the Chinese municipality crime in the district had shown a tendency to increase rather than decrease, the Senior Consul replied to this letter by pointing out that it was scarcely the time to consider the advisability of withdrawing efficient police patrols from roads the property of the foreign community; on the contrary, the Consular Body was of opinion that it might be necessary before long to increase the number of municipal police to assure better the safety of the inhabitants and their property. After this the Taotai confined himself to objecting on various grounds to the new municipal roads in course of construction outside The Settlement, and it was not until the 30th January of the present year that he again returned to the subject by disputing the right of the Council to police the boundary road, another municipal road which runs along the northern boundary of the Settlement, almost parallel to the railway station, and which, like the North Chekiang road, is half inside and half outside the Settlement. His objection, this time, was based on the fact that the road had been built on the site of a creek which, though it had been filled in at municipal expense, was Chinese Government property, and had never been sold to the Council. The inference drawn from this last complaint of the Taotai's was that he no longer questioned the right of the Council to police roads which were indisputably their property, yet from this time onwards the municipal police had constant reason to complain of encroachment by the native police on almost all the municipal roads within the area of the Chinese Settlement, but especially on the North Chekiang road. At first the trespassers were merely ordered off, but, as the nuisance increased, and it became apparent that they were acting under instructions from their superiors, orders were given by the Council to their police to arrest any Chinese police who attempted to patrol a municipal road. On the 28th ultimo two of the Paoshan police were arrested for this offence on the North Chekiang road and taken to the West Hongkew police station. Their detention seems to have caused considerable indignation among their comrades, and later in the day some forty or fifty of them gathered at the mouth of an alley-way entering the road from the Paoshan side, and, when ordered back by the foreign constable on duty, suddenly attacked him and dragged him some distance up the alley-way, with the intention, it is alleged by the Council, of carrying him off and confining him in the Paoshan police station, in revenge for the arrest of the two native policemen. The constable succeeded, however, in drawing his truncheon and forcing his way back again.\n\nThe Council having reported to me in error that the man, who is a British subject, had actually been carried off, I at once sent Mr. Wilkinson, the Vice-Consul, to the Taotai to demand his instant release. Mr. Wilkinson's inquiries soon showed that, as far as the constable was concerned, the seriousness of the affair had been exaggerated, but on the other hand he found both the Shanghae Taotai and Wang Taotai, the official in charge of the Paoshan Settlement, considerably alarmed at the behaviour of their own police. They informed him that the men had got out of hand, and that, unless their two comrades were released, there would most certainly be trouble before the end of the day. At their earnest request Mr. Wilkinson agreed, on condition that they undertook to produce the men at the Mixed Court when required and in the meanwhile to make no further attempts at patrolling the road, to explain the situation to the Council, and ask, on their behalf, for the release of the two men on bail. To these terms they consented, and on the state of affairs being represented by Mr. Wilkinson to the Council, the two men were at once released on the personal security of Wang Taotai that they would appear at the Mixed Court when called upon.\n\nThe day fixed for their trial was Friday last, but on that day neither of the men was sent to the Court, the Taotai explaining afterwards to Mr. Wilkinson that, while he had no intention of going back on his word, he did not propose to allow them to appear until some arrangement had been arrived at on the question of the patrolling of the North Chekiang road, on which, he claimed, the Paoshan police had as much right as the municipal police.\n\nThe affair in itself is of no great importance, but it has brought to a head the Council's resolve to apply for an extension of the International Settlement which will incorporate within its limits the whole of the tract lying between the Settlement and the railway line.\n\nIt is the suburbs in this direction that are the most thickly populated of the Settlement and which it is most desirable from every point of view to have brought within the scope of the Land Regulations.\n\nIt will no doubt be within your recollection that when the Settlement was extended in 1899 it was over the extension into this neighbourhood that the negotiations very nearly broke down. The Council of the time, recognizing the importance of the locality—for it was evident even then that it was in this direction that the growth of the Settlement would be most rapid—were most unwilling to allow it to be excluded from the extension, and it was only on the understanding that the extension then granted was not by any means final, but only an instalment, and that as soon as the necessity of further expansion was proved the Consular Body would at once take the matter up, that they agreed to accept the boundary offered by the Chinese authorities.\n\nThe grounds on which the Council base their opinion that the time has now arrived for applying for a further extension of the Settlement are briefly stated in the Chairman's letter. It is obvious that, if the necessity of including within Settlement limits the district indicated by them was manifest in 1899, the need is far more pressing at the present time. In those days the district in question was most of it open country, and the boundary of the Settlement clearly defined by creeks and other natural obstructions; at the present time the whole area is thickly populated, and as house property has encroached on the boundary the latter has become obliterated, and is now an imaginary line running in places along the middle of a municipal road.\n\nAs you are aware, the Chinese authorities, realizing the state of affairs in this district, and anticipating a demand on the part of the Council for an extension of the Settlement, have established in the locality the Chinese municipality, to which reference has already been made. The district in which it functions is called officially the Chinese Commercial Settlement in Paoshan, but, as it includes the Chapei district as well, it is usually known as the Chapei Municipality. In the English sense of the word, it is not a municipal concern at all, but is run by a Chinese expectant Taotai by the name of Wang, appointed by the Viceroy. The intention of the authorities in founding the Settlement was admittedly to block by its means any further extension of the Settlement in a northerly direction, where, as they well knew, the need for extension was most keenly felt. Had the Chapei Municipality been successful in accomplishing the object with which the authorities professed to the Consular Body that it had been established, namely, to insure the good government of the place by affording effective police protection to the inhabitants, preserving cleanliness, providing lighting and pure water, and other benefits of civilization, it is possible that their policy would have been successful, and the question of extension in this direction might have been indefinitely postponed, but, beyond building a few roads and engaging a large but undisciplined and utterly inefficient police force, the achievements of the Chapei Municipality have fallen lamentably short of its professed aims. In spite of its numerous police, the district still enjoys an unenviable reputation as a haunt of robbers and criminals generally, and from a sanitary point of view, as the report of the Municipal Health Officer for 1907, published in the Annual Report of the Shanghae Municipal Council, shows, it is a menace to the public health. In other words, the establishment of a Chinese municipality has proved of no practical benefit to the inhabitants of the district; while, on the other hand, the obstructive policy of the officials in charge of its affairs and the aggressiveness of its police are a source of constant friction with the Shanghae Municipality, which sooner or later is bound to lead to serious consequences. In the interests, therefore, of peace and order, and for the sanitary safety of the International Settlement, it is urgently desirable that the extension suggested by the Council should be conceded at the earliest possible date by the Chinese authorities.\n\nIn his letter to the Senior Consul the Chairman of the Council states that, beyond indicating the railway line as the most desirable new limit in the absence of any natural barrier, the Council do not desire at present to go further into the question of the amount of extension which should be arranged. Although the area suggested by the Council is comparatively small, it is certain that, as in 1898, any expansion into the Paoshan district, within which a portion of proposed extension lies, will for political reasons be strongly opposed by the Chinese authorities. The latter have always maintained that the Treaty port of Shanghae is situated within the limits of the Shanghae Hsien or Magistracy only, and does not extend into the Paoshan Hsien, and on this pretext they have obstructed and constantly disallowed the sale of land to foreigners in the northern outskirts of the Settlement. Once any portion of Paoshan district is included within the area of the Settlement they must of necessity abandon this pretext.\n\nPage 433",

In supporting the Colonial contentions, the S. of S. for the Colonies is not only influenced by their view of the matter itself, but also by broad considerations of policy, and he believes that if the Army Council would take a more reasonable view of the points at issue, they would be more likely to stimulate in the Crown Colonies a greater readiness to co-operate in Defence matters and less reluctance to the payment of Military Contributions.\n\nThe people involved are of great importance to the Colony, and the Colonial interests must be upheld in the interests of the Colony. The Colonists attach weight to it. Generally speaking, Lord Crewe's view is consistent with colonial opinion on the matter.\n\nI am &c.\nABC",

But I may say in this Confidential Memorandum that both the General Officer Commanding and myself consider that more Infantry is required here. The Financial Situation in England is, as we are all aware, full of difficulty at the present time, and the Mother Country is not in a position to spend increased sums upon her Colonies. So much so that there are many responsible Statesmen who hold that the burden has grown too great for the British tax-payers to bear.\n\nIn these circumstances we are compelled to ask ourselves whether or not we are bearing our own full share. With no Customs' duties (other than Liquor), and no Income Tax there is no doubt that the people of this Colony are very lightly taxed in comparison to the people of England, to whom nevertheless we look to pay the larger part of our Bill for land defence. I have been carefully examining this question, viz.: the comparative burden of taxation upon the British in Hongkong and in the United Kingdom - and the comparative incidence of the cost of defence to ourselves and to other Colonies. Both are large and intricate questions with which I do not propose to deal in this Memorandum.\n\nThe two questions which first present themselves for consideration, therefore, are these:- Are we bearing a fair share of the burden of defence? and",

Lo Crewe concup.\n\n3.\n\nLet's further refine it according to the given rules:\n\n## Step 1: Correcting spelling errors and spacing issues.\nThe text has several spelling errors and spacing issues. For example, \"Jttany\" should be \"Jutland\", \"hi\" is unclear, \"Angst\" should be \"August\", \"set-ach\" is unclear, \"Secy\" should be \"Secretary\", \"recept\" should be \"receipt\", \"enclosed copis\" should be \"enclosed copies\", \"lettre\" should be \"letter\", \"Sudra Australa China\" should be \"India, Australia & China\", \"Stübbe\" is likely a proper noun and should be left as is, \"anthoneed\" should be \"authorised\", \"St Kory\" should be \"St Ky\" or another appropriate expansion, \"Gu. Stracks\" is unclear, \"bom ca.\" is unclear, \"holi issue\" should be \"hollow issue\" or another appropriate correction, \"Lerçal\" should be \"Legal\", \"Lo Crewe concup\" is unclear.\n\n## Step 2: Rejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks.\nThe text appears to be fragmented. Sentences and paragraphs need to be rejoined or separated appropriately.\n\n## Step 3: Applying Markdown formatting.\nHeaders, bold text, and tables should be formatted using Markdown syntax.\n\nGiven the complexity and the unclear nature of some parts of the text, a more detailed correction is challenging without further context.\n\nTreasury\n\n33.756 Jutland\n\n1910\n\n552\n\n24 August 1910\n\nI am set-ach,\n\nThe Secretary,\n\nTreasury.\n\nRe: receipt of $...

The first step is to review the text for obvious errors and formatting issues.\n\n## Step 2: Correcting OCR Errors and Formatting\nUpon reviewing the text, it's clear that there are numerous OCR errors. The text needs to be corrected for spelling, spacing, and punctuation.\n\n## Step 3: Applying Markdown Formatting\nThe instructions require the output to be in a specific format, but the final output format requested is HTML using `` for paragraphs. The initial instructions about Markdown will be noted but the final output will be in HTML as per the last instruction.\n\n## Step 4: Correcting the Text\nLet's attempt to correct the text:\n- \"in Carsi\" could be \"in Cases\"\n- \"senrcis Of Year\" might be \"Services of Year\"\n- \"Cate Marstable\" could be \"Cable Marstable\" or another name/person reference\n- \"Paul Codan\" is unclear, possibly a name or company reference\n- \"Colonico\" might be \"Colony\"\n- \"Strang\" could be \"Strong\"\n- \"OAS\" is unclear without context\n- \"Ottany\" might be a date or location, possibly \"October\"\n- \"Augazio\" could be \"August\"\n- \"Walter Mf:\" might be \"Walter M.F.\" or a similar reference\n- \"(3627)\" appears to be a reference number\n- \"dsh\" is unclear\n- \"Ath Fet\" could be \"I have to inform\" or a similar phrase, but \"Ath\" is not clear\n- \"ap Aper\" might be \"as per\"\n- \"(ami 1146286)\" appears to be a reference number\n- \"Aura. 32927\" is unclear\n- \"dunite\" might be \"due to\"\n- \"Inancial\" is likely \"financial\"\n- \"Ju\" could be \"It was\"\n- \"Gun whas been decided\" might be \"It has been decided\"\n- \"ABC No Men 18\" is unclear\n- \"taword\" could be \"toward\"\n- \"Mod Harlan hr Stublo\" is unclear, possibly names or references\n- \"agralint\" might be \"against\"\n- \"anthorreed\" is likely \"authorised\"\n- \"C.A. b hay\" is unclear, possibly \"C.A. to pay\" or a similar reference\n- \"Jam foron Ithay\" is not clear\n- \"Funds withart waiting\" might be \"without waiting\"\n\nGiven the complexity and the unclear nature of many of the OCR errors, a precise correction is challenging without more context.\n\n## Step 5: Output in HTML Format\nGiven the instructions, the output should be in HTML. However, the detailed step-by-step correction for each word is not provided due to the complexity and ambiguity of the OCR errors.\n\nThe best answer is \n\nin Cases\n\nDraft\n\n4.\n\nServices of Year Cable Marstable the Paul Codan.

Wodehouse is acting as Deputy Supt. but explains that he has not sufficient confidence in him to cable to recommend him for substantive promotion to the post. At present, it is temporarily attached to Why Hutchison to Police as Assistant Justice.\n\nThe main ground of complaint against Wodehouse is that after acting on his own responsibility in judging what to do, he failed to report to the Earl what he had done. That is an error which may be condoned in a young officer acting at a critical moment. You will observe that his orders were in accord with what was considered the right course then.

Mr. Chamberlain was not satisfied with this report and on the 20th August, 1903, informed Sir H. Blake that he had impressed this view on Mr. Badeley. Finally on the 7th November, 1903, Sir H. Blake (who had had personal experience in police work) wrote a very strong despatch expressing lack of confidence both in Mr. Badeley as Captain Superintendent of Police and in Captain Lyons, Deputy Superintendent. Mr. Badeley has been absent on leave for the past nine months, and he therefore is not responsible in any way for the recent conduct of Police administration. He is due back on December 13th, and I shall be extremely glad when he relieves Captain Lyons for he has the confidence of his men, and he speaks Chinese. I am in hopes that he will throw himself energetically into the very difficult work which awaits him.\n\nPage 3",

I went to the Port gangway and waited till they came up, by this time Delaney had got into the sampan and was still holding Lenard who was helpless. On reaching the gangway it took Delaney and myself to get Lenard out of the water and up the gangway as he was incapable of going up the ladder by himself.\n\nAfter getting Lenard down below to the For'castle I had the Doctor called to attend him and Delaney left in the sampan to rejoin his own ship.\n\nYours etc.,\n\n(Sd.)

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.** (Received May 8.)\n\n[May 8. C.O. BBC+10:20085 SECTION REC? REG413 JUN 13\n\nPeking, April 24, 1913.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram No. 119 of yesterday's date in which, with reference to my report that the Chinese Government's proposal to buy up the existing stocks of Indian opium has probably been abandoned, and to my opinion that the revival of Indian sales is out of the question, you call for an expression of my views on the general question of the Indian opium trade with China, and especially on the question of the situation which will arise in regard to the Agreement of 1911, when the stocks now in China have been cleared by the continuance of the present normal process.\n\nAs I have said before, I have always regretted that the Indian sales were not stopped in June last year, for the continued influx of opium has added considerably to the difficulties of dealing with the situation. As indicated in my despatch No. 145 of the 10th instant, however, the problem of the stocks is in a fair way to reaching a solution within the next two years, if not sooner.\n\nAlthough the demand for opium has diminished, partly on account of the odium now attached to the habit of smoking, and partly on account of the enhanced value of the drug, there is no doubt that the demand is still amply sufficient to absorb speedily all the present stocks, provided that the trade in supplying this demand is left to take its natural course. The comparative weakening of the obstructive measures recently adopted at Shanghai may be attributed not only to the corruption of the officials employed in carrying them into execution, as described in my despatch above quoted, but also to the fact that the attention of the obstructionists has been diverted by the investigation now going on into the cultivation of opium in the provinces—a measure which is giving the anti-opium agitators a certain amount of satisfaction. It would be too sanguine a view to expect that no further difficulties will take place in working off the stocks. We shall in all probability have to insist repeatedly on our rights under the Agreement of 1911 before this part of the problem is finally solved, and it is an essential condition that we adhere to that provision in the Agreement by which Canton and Shanghai are the last ports to be closed to Indian opium. It is not certain that we shall be able to insist, successfully, on our treaty rights, and it may eventually be necessary to abandon the hope of disposing of the stocks in China and to have them reshipped to Singapore or other markets. But in view of the way things are going at present, and of the possible future last resource thus indicated, it is permissible to regard the problem of the stocks in hand as one within reach of solution, and to pass on to the consideration of the policy to be pursued in the future.\n\nThe period of one or two years during which the present stocks are being cleared represents, in my opinion, the utmost extension of life that can be expected for the moribund trade in opium between India and China. The reasons why I regard the revival of opium sales in India as practically out of the question have been, I think, sufficiently indicated in previous despatches. Even if the Chinese Government fail in their endeavours to suppress opium cultivation in China, the trade in Indian opium is none the less doomed to speedy extinction. It is not for me to speak of public opinion in Great Britain, but I venture to assert that public opinion in China is alone powerful enough to ensure the permanence of the stoppage of the Indian sales. It may seem premature to appeal to the public opinion of a country whose masses are still inarticulate, and paradoxical to do so when Chinese farmers are cultivating the poppy for Chinese consumers. But the public opinion to which I allude is that of the civilised parts of the country, not of the provinces far distant from the seaboard, where the cultivation and the consumption of opium are alike most prevalent. The outcry against the opium traffic that is continually raised by Chinese officials, pressmen, and parliamentarians, encouraged as it is by British and foreign missionaries and publicists—only a small proportion of whom can be justly called mischievous busybodies—serves to keep up a friction prejudicial to other and larger interests of the United Kingdom and of British India in China, and we cannot therefore afford to ignore it.\n\n[2926 h-3]\n\n544",

G.W. Hunter, with whom he stayed a \n\nshort time in Urumtŝi the Capital of Chinese Turkestan. \n\nThis house was in nothing different from an ordinary \n\nChinese inn except that it was quiet, and instead of using \n\nhorse or camel manure for fuel, coal was used. Ammonia smells \n\nwere carefully guarded against in order to save the reserve \n\nclothing which was not worn on the road, from its stench. A \n\nsturdy Japanese traveller, trying to get away from the stench \n\nof Ammonia, in very much the same circumstances as Mr. Hunter and the writer, was severely attacked by malaria, and he could not get rid of it until he was out on the road again. If we \n\nhad realised at that time how wholesome the stench of manure \n\nwas for our... system, we should have used it instead of coal. \n\nBut we rather dreaded its penetrating stench, that sticks to one's clothes and being, the smell of a horse-stable into every place in which one appears with such garments as we used on the road. Even our reserve clothing could not be saved from \n\nit. The delicate nose of the Russian Consul's wife was rather offended by the stench of Ammonia which we brought into her elegant parlour, and her pretty daughters pinched their tiny noses, smelling our clothes. I am sure though that the Russian Consul's family would have experienced a great uplift in their rather poor condition of health, being troubled with fever and other ills very frequently, if they had allowed the",

I submit that he has been actuated by ill-feeling towards me which ill-feeling I struggled hard to disclose in the course of the cross-examination of Mr. Nisbet by me but the Committee would not permit me to do so as it was of the opinion that a gentleman of Mr. Nisbet's class could not be actuated and subordinates were wrong in coming to that supposition. I admit this but with exception, if I may say so. I regret to have to refer to the question of actuation on the part of Mr. Nisbet, but it is unavoidable for the purposes of my defence as a whole bar to the money order cash.\n\nI respectfully submit that if Mr. Nisbet could see his way to denying knowledge of one fact he could be assumed to be wrong in denying knowledge of other facts and the statement or statements in connection therewith should not be weighed with the same amount of confidence as if the statement or statements had not been contradicted and more especially by the Assistant Heads of Department, viz.:- his two Deputies.\n\nPractice as to receiving fees in advance in pauper cases. This practice was created in the time of Mr. Seth about 1908 and had been in force ever since in the Registry. It has now been made the practice of the Registry under an order of the Court in Probate matters including pauper cases and is under consideration of the Law Society of Hong Kong at the instance of the Registrar, Mr. Nisbet, previous to the 30th of June last. The Registrar must have had the question of taking fees in advance in Probate matters under his consideration for some time before he could have submitted it to the Law Society. It was undoubtedly the most wise and convenient course in every respect in Probate matters and it has been proved beyond any shadow of doubt, to be so by the fact that the Registrar himself has now adopted it under an order of the Court after my transfer from the Registry.\n\nThe",

If this is so I would venture to suggest to Your Excellency that the hospitality of Macao might well be denied to a person suspected of such nefarious practices.\n\n7.\n\nIn the course of investigations by the Captain Superintendent of Police into the presence of pirates in and around the Delta of the Kwangtung Province it appears that there is reason to believe that the islands of Wong Kam and Lantao are still used as refuges by pirates; and I would ask Your Excellency to take measures to prevent these places and Macao being used in this manner. I am aware of the difficulties in connection with Wong Kam the Portuguese jurisdiction over which is not recognised by China. Perhaps the present serious condition of piracy in and around the Delta may furnish grounds for settling this question.\n\nIn conclusion I beg to assure Your Excellency that I do not wish to throw the whole responsibility for the \"Tai On\" disaster upon the Government of Macao. It is established that one of the ringleaders in the plot was resident in this Colony. My efforts are unceasing to prevent this Colony being used as a base or as a refuge by robbers and pirates. The difficulties, like yours, are enhanced by the untrustworthiness of Chinese Police as a class. All I ask is Your Excellency's earnest co-operation in suppressing as far as in our power lies a scourge which preys at once upon the trade and upon the good name of the Colonies entrusted to our governance.\n\nI have, etc.\n\nSd.\n\nT.

The whole scheme if carried out would, my Committee consider, not only be unsatisfactory in its carrying out, but would entail a considerable and quite unnecessary increased tax on the shipping.\n\nIt is well understood that the shipping industry is not in a flourishing condition and every care should be taken, especially in such a port as Hongkong, to do nothing which would tend to increase the charges on vessels visiting the port, and thus to discourage their calling here.\n\nI may here remark that this point has been frequently referred to in the Correspondence of this Chamber and at their Meetings, and the question was very fully dealt with at the Annual Meeting of this Chamber held on 23rd April, 1909.\n\nMy Committee now beg to suggest that as a counter-proposal to the Government's scheme, such a relaying of moorings be made as to meet the real necessities of the Shipping trade, the cost of this relaying to be shared by the Government and the Shipping Companies benefitting by the change, but that those of the regular Shipping Companies who make use of the Port continually should be allowed to own their own moorings as is done at present.",

After the change of Government, arbitrary action contrary to Treaty caused supplies to cease absolutely and the company's business was brought to a standstill. After negotiations extending over two years assurances were given that the company could carry on business as before. In spite of these assurances for reasons which I am at a loss to discover, supplies of stone cannot be procured from Kwangtung and the company is forced to obtain stone from Tongking at a cost which seriously curtails their earnings. \n\n## \n\nIn the meantime the Canton Cement Works, an enterprise owned by the Government, which is responsible for inflicting these great losses on British traders, is in a position to obtain stone freely. Can such a state of things be described as equitable or can the Kwangtung Government be acquitted of the charge of secretly favouring its own interest at the expense of those of its British competitors? Can its refusal to take any steps to satisfy the just claim for losses due by its own wrongful acts escape the criticism of fair-minded men, or is it consonant with its dignity as a Government to carry on trade in cement while at the same time making use of its official status to hamper the operations of others? \n\n## \n\nThe duty of every Government is to exercise justice, but how can a Government do this when it throws its own interests into the scales? \n\n## \n\nI feel sure that your clearness of vision and un-biassed mind will not fail to appreciate these arguments and I have therefore the honour to express an earnest hope that no time will be lost in effecting a satisfactory settlement either on the above lines or on those previously indicated. \n\n## \n\nI have, &c., \n\n(sd.)

I think that trading with branches here of firms which have their head office in the German Empire is on the same footing as trading direct with persons resident in the German Empire, and that contracts with such branches, entered into after the commencement of the war, are criminal in all cases where they would be criminal if entered into directly with the head office in the German Empire. Supplying goods to the branch for the general business of the firm would be supplying goods to the firm in enemy territory, and a contract entered into by the branch on behalf of the firm would be a contract \"with or for the benefit of (a) person resident, carrying on business (and) being in the said Empire\". References therefore below to the German Empire in discussing what transactions are criminal and what are not must be taken as referring also to branches here of firms domiciled in the German Empire.\n\n11. Trading with an enemy subject who has a purely local business here and is not in the employment of a firm domiciled in the German Empire is not in itself prohibited.\n\n12. It would however be an offence to supply to or obtain from such local trader any goods destined for or coming from the German Empire (see the 5th para. of the Proclamation), and it would probably be an offence to supply him with goods or to obtain goods from him if it were notorious that he was merely a means of transmitting such goods between the enemy country and Hongkong.\n\n13. It must not be forgotten that such enemy subject, trading here on his own account, would himself be committing an offence if he were to enter into contracts with firms in the German Empire.\n\n14. A special case is that of agencies held here by local firms for firms in the German Empire. It would seem that such agencies are dissolved ipso facto by the war, and in any event they would come within the general rules stated below with regard...",

In the circumstances, we think that as far as the U.S.A. is concerned, exports of Wax might well be permitted without any licence being necessary. \n\nWe trust we have given you the information which you require, and have the honour to remain, Sir, \n\nYours faithfully, \n\nTHE ASIATIC PETROLEUM COMPANY, LIMITED.",

I have made perfectly clear that The C.N.A. had absolutely no official standing & that if she have wished to make any complaint she must do it officially. The C.N.A do not encourage nurses to write to them, but many have done so when they have a grievance. It would be astonishing if they did not.\n\nThe C.N.A are a philanthropic association with considerable funds at their disposal: they take interest in the nurses who come on their books, help them pitiably (even if only with money when they are in difficulties), & get to know them fully in intimacy.\n\nWe have deliberately put ourselves in the hands of the Cross for the selections of nurses, with the result that we are saved an enormous amount of time: but naturally the Nurses look on the C.N.A as their best friend in official quarters: equally naturally there are some of these ladies who have not had the educable official training of a Govt office - who would like to press their case in what seems a hard case occurs. So far as I am able to judge, the prudence, & then advice of such discreet ladies as Mrs Chamberlain (who has always attended the Committee's meetings with great regularity) & Mr Harcourt have prevailed. I fear that the attitude which expects the C.N.A to take no interest in their nurses after they have entered our service is one which shows somewhat lacking in sympathetic insight & indeed of common sense.\n\n10. 16. CMutu viscuse.\n\nIf you refer this paper to the C.N.A & get off the letter I say Friday they should be able to consider it at their meetings on Monday or Wednesday next: TOM. 27/9/16.\n\nThere is much force in Mr. Macnaghten's minute.\n\nSend a copy of despatch and encl. to C.N.A. and request the favour of their observations.\n\nIt will also be well if Mr. Macnaghten will kindly prepare a confidential statement which I can send privately to Gov.\n\nABC 27.9.16.\n\nI agree that it is only to be expected that nurses should confide their grievances to the C.N.A. Committee. We cannot expect the C.N.A. to appreciate the niceties",

Mr. W. Chatham, C.M.G.,\n\nPublic Works Department.\n\nSir,\n\nWith reference to our interview of this morning,\n\nI have the honour to request that you will be kind enough to take what steps you may consider proper to obtain permission for this University to build on the piece of land lying between the road which runs from the old Filter Beds to the New Pumping Station and the Nullah which follows approximately the same direction and passes under Pokfulam Road.\n\nI gathered from our conversation that this area is not very accurately marked on any existing plan. It is a narrow strip, running up beside the nullah and would probably be of little use to anyone except the University. As however we contemplate building no less than three schools for Physiology, Tropical Medicine and Pathology on the adjoining ground in the immediate future, we might find the space very serviceable either for the schools themselves or for annexes and outhouses.\n\nI have &0+,\n\n(sa.)

I hope that it may be possible to obtain some recompense, for the material and delay caused, from the makers. I am not understanding how this material was allowed to be shipped if it was properly inspected, nor am I understanding how the makers managed to pack it without breaking scores of sheets. Had the Crown Agents sent out the material specified or even some material of equal quality for I understand there are other makers, I am certain that matters would have been different. \n\nWhile on the subject of this Indent I would point out two other instances in which the Crown Agents have passed the material for this extension though not in conformity to the Drawings. \n\n(a) The down pipes were shown on the drawing which was sent home as being in three six foot lengths all of which were dimensioned. On the drawing prepared by the Crown Agents which was practically traced off the one we sent the middle length of down pipe has been marked, and check marked also, as a five foot length though it scales six feet. This has caused the downpipes to be one foot short, and we will require to have extension pieces made. \n\n(b) Bed plates were shown on all the cross girders where they rested on the walls and these were omitted. These we have had to have made locally.",

        "content_text": "# \n\n1 \n\nA mission of dedication. I meant \"former\" HEB2| \n\nI do not quite understand Sub-section 1(c). It is not clear whether the exception is in respect of all men in Holy Orders and such Ministers &c., as the Governor may exempt, or whether the words \"as the Governor may exempt\" governs all classes of men referred to; the latter is, I think, the correct construction. It appears to me to place the Governor in an invidious position, and that it would have been much better to have left the exception absolute, as it is under our Acts; in which case the ordinary courts of the land decide, in case of dispute, whether any particular person comes within the exception. (It is a minister of a recognised denomination) \n\n## \n\nCL \n\nSection 5. This section should, I imagine, contain the same qualification as to residents as is to be found in Section 6. \n\n| I differ. \n\n2 \n\nas clearly referring back to \"Such\" \n\n... as to cause ... to rate our ... perous class ... ianey ... proper credentials ... first hear it ... the ... înceary \n\n1 \n\n## Section 6. \nI do not quite appreciate what is meant by \"certified as medically fit for enrolment in the Force\". The Force is supposed to be for service overseas, and it would appear that \"medically fit\" would mean fit for general service. The Attorney General says, in Para. 3, that it is only intended at present to enroll persons who are fit for general service, but if \"medically fit means fit for general service, they would have no power to call up any one else. If, however, \"medically fit\" means something more than medically fit for general service, then the question will not be what the Government intend, but what the Tribunal orders. (See Section 6 (2).) \n\nSection 6.- Subsection (4). This sets out the grounds of exemption, which are satisfactory, but I think it is a great pity that they omitted the ground of ill-health. The Attorney General, Para. 11, said that it was felt to be safer that the medical questions should remain entirely in the hands of the military authorities. If he had the knowledge which we all have of what the workings of some of the Medical Boards have been in this country, he would probably hold a very different opinion. \n\nThe Tribunal ... all the ... for in ...

KA ... 548 \n\nI think it is also a pity that under Sub-Section 6 an arbitrary limit of six months has been placed for exemption in cases of domestic hardship. The necessity for calling up a man who is in a position of exceptional hardship must vary much from time to time according to the numbers required, and I should have thought that it should be left to the discretion of the Tribunal to decide whether a man, in a case of real hardship, should be called up their decision being influenced no doubt by the exigencies of the moment. \n\nSub-Section 8. gives the Tribunal the right to decide whether a man is ordinarily resident in the colony or not; this, according to the principles adopted in this country, would not be within the Tribunal's sphere at all; it is here a matter for the courts, as are all questions of whether a man is within the Act as distinct from whether, being within the Act, he should be exempted from serving; but from Section 13 it is clear that they intend their Tribunal to be a much more powerful body than those which have been set up here. \n\n?

The Sons regrets that difficulty would seem to have stiffened having been said that copy Corre Ear La 31/12/18. It seems that authority might be equally unconfirming. Instructions not to goods to Switzerland were given. \n\nthat the Govt. of H.Kong allow shipments of prohibited goods except on the authority of the S. of S.; that before such authority is given, it would require the certificate of the S.S.S. to be forwarded through the London Bureau of the Societe; that this procedure was not followed in the first instance, and accordingly the action of the H.Kong Govt. was count... by the S. of S. regrets that he is unable to condone the course which should be followed on the arrival of the Ganges.

The text contains numerous errors, including spelling mistakes, incorrect spacing, and jumbled text.\n\n2. **Identifying Key Elements**: The text includes job titles such as \"Director of Public Works,\" \"First Assistant D.P.W.,\" and various engineering and surveying positions, along with their corresponding salary ranges.\n\n3. **Correcting Errors and Formatting**: To correct the text, we need to address spelling errors, fix spacing issues, rejoin broken sentences, and restore paragraph breaks where necessary. We should also format the text using Markdown for structure.\n\n4. **Specific Corrections**:\n   - Salary ranges and job titles should be clearly identified and formatted.\n   - Tables or lists should be reconstructed if the original text was in a tabular format.\n   - Spelling errors and OCR artifacts should be corrected.\n\n5. **Markdown Formatting**: The text should be formatted using Markdown. Headers (#, ##) should be used for titles and sections. Tables should be formatted using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Corrected Text in Markdown Format:\n```markdown\n# Salaries approved by the Secretary of State\n\n## Public Works Department Salaries\n\n| Position | Salary Range | Annual Increment |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Director of Public Works | £1,250 to £1,500 | £50 |\n| First Assistant D.P.W. | £900 to £1,100 | £25 |\n| Second Assistant D.P.W. | £900 to £1,000 | £25 |\n| Executive Engineer, 1st Grade | £700 to £850 | £25 |\n| Executive Engineer, 2nd Grade | £650 to £800 | £25 |\n| Assistant Engineer | £550 to £625 | £25 |\n| Principal Land Surveyor | £620 to £700 | £20 |\n| Land Surveyor, 1st Class | £400 to £600 | £20 |\n| Land Surveyor, 2nd Class | £400 to £520 | £20 |\n\n## Other Text\nThe remaining text appears to be jumbled and does not form coherent sentences or paragraphs.

We have replied to this that the land in question would certainly be of interest to us for the above purpose and we now write to you direct in order to confirm this and with a view to ascertaining whether you will be prepared to grant us a lease for the site and if so what would be the terms on which the land could be leased.\n\nWe understand that the land has an area of about 4 acres and that it is separated from the shore by a street named the Canton Road and further by the General Coaling Depot and the Naval Coaling Depot, which have a width (including the Canton Road) of about 400 feet. From our point of view the fact that the land is away from the actual shore does not constitute a drawback as long as we are allowed to lay pipelines connecting our tanks with the shore. In order to serve the interests of the port to its fullest extent, such pipelines should connect the fuel tanks with every loading and discharging jetty so that no ship should be compelled...\n\n25th January, 1921.\n\nh. Grundle \nId Anjio faxon, Asiatic Petroleum Co.\n\nThe Asiatic Petroleum Company's application is presumably the outcome of negotiations with the Anglo-Persian Company. It does not address the issue of another installation.\n\n26.1\n\nThe Anglo-Persian stand out for the present though all the oil installations will be close to follow.\n\nThe Admiralty intellater a te sheet me. As soon as we get the Giros reply the patta had better cornea before ch $37.1.26\n\non the land rented up to date by the Admiralty as & coaling depot will apparently, if approved, entail the erection of yet another oil fuel installation on the Kowloon Peninsula in the vicinity of that being erected by the Admiralty themselves. I would call attention therefore to the remarks of the Oversea Defence Committee as explained in my minute dated 4th October, 1920, to Sir G. Fiddes (`0.0737499`), regarding the desirability of finding any additional sites required on some ground other than that in question. Although the Anglo-Persian Company do not appear to want the site to the immediate east of the coaling depot and Naval Yard, from `0.080509` it would appear that the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company wish to get it for an installation. Assuming therefore that the Companies have no connection, this application of the Asiatic Petroleum Company Ltd, means another installation. If this is so I presume it will be referred to the Oversea Defence Committee before being approved.",

That the Shipping Controller may make orders regulating and giving directions in respect of the nature of the trades in which ships are to be employed, the traffic to be carried therein, and the terms and conditions on which the trade is to be carried, the ports at which cargo is to be loaded or discharged or passengers embark or disembark (including directions requiring ships to proceed to specified port for the purpose of loading or unloading cargo or embarking or disembarking passengers) the ports at which consignees of cargo are to take delivery thereof, the rates (maxima or minima) to be charged for rates or hire of ships and the carriage of passengers, the form of bills of lading and passenger certificates, and other matters affecting shipping where it appears to the Controller necessary or expedient to make such order for the purpose of making shipping available to the needs of the country, in such manner as to make the best use thereof having regard to the circumstances at the time, provided that any order made under this Regulation shall have effect subject to any Regulations made or Orders given under Regulations 37, 38 or 39.\n\n2. Any Order made under this Regulation may contain such provisions as to entry inspection of books and documents or otherwise as may appear to the Controller necessary or expedient for the purpose of his duties.\n\n3.

The Governor may require any person to supply any animals, vehicles, ships, boats, or other personal property belonging to or under the control of such person to the Government, if such property be required in aid of or in connection with the defence of the Colony, and, in default of the person supplying the same, may seize and take possession of and retain such animals, vehicles, boats or other personal property for such purposes.\n\n12. The Governor shall, out of the public funds of the Colony, pay to every person who shall be required to do any personal service by virtue of this Order such remuneration and to every person whose property shall be taken or temporarily taken possession of or removed or destroyed by virtue of this Order such compensation as shall be agreed on between the Governor and such person, and in default of agreement, such remuneration or compensation as shall be awarded by the Board hereinafter mentioned whose award shall be final.\n\n13. For the purpose of determining the amount of any remuneration or compensation payable under this Order the Governor shall appoint a Board consisting of five persons, of whom one shall be a Judge or Stipendiary Magistrate, two shall be officers either in the Civil Government of the Colony or in His Majesty's naval or military service and the other two shall be inhabitants of the Colony. All questions referred to the said Board shall in case of a difference of opinion, be decided by the votes of the majority of the members. The Judge or Stipendiary Magistrate shall be the Chairman of the Board.\n\nShould the above scheme have been brought into operation under the powers contained in the Proclamation in the Hongkong Government Gazette of the 5th August 1914 bringing into operation the Order-in-Council of the 26th October 1896, in view of His Excellency being prepared to assist our clients in every way in his power, our clients feel justified in suggesting that His Excellency might be prepared to appoint a Board for the purpose of fixing the remuneration and compensation to be paid to the owners under the above scheme.\n\nPage 160",

Upon investigating, we found that practically all the stock which was sent from Shanghai some months back had become discolored. This matter was reported and it was decided that: we take up all the old stock on the market and replace it with fresh stock. It was about this time that Mr. Theyken and myself discussed the possibility of disposing of a few of the cigarettes for our own profit. I assured Mr. Theyken that it could be done safely and without fear of discovery. I approached a man in the Customs, whom I understand was named J. Cassin, and explained to him my plan. Upon being assured of his support, I interviewed Cheung Sing and Shun Kee with the aid of my interpreter, Mr. Peu, with a view to sell them a number of cigarettes which were to be reported as destroyed. To further enable me to carry out my plans, I talked with the stevedore who was then handling our shipments, Mr. Chan of Wah Hing Co., who also assured me that he would give me his support for a consideration. I then gave instructions to prepare the necessary papers required to destroy sixty 50,000 cases of cigarettes. The stevedore went to the Yeumati godown and took delivery of the sixty 50,000 cases and delivered thirty of the cases to the destruction grounds, fifteen cases to Cheung Sing and fifteen cases to Shun Kee; in the meantime having discovered\n\nthat\n\nØ\n\nTwo local cigarette dealers.\n\n1",

I ought to mention too that together with qualities which cause him to be popular, such as a courteous and pleasing manner, agreeableness &c, he is inclined to take the line of least resistance and he finds it hard to say \"No\" in the ordinary routine of duty. On the other hand, when he is roused he is capable of definite opinions. On the whole I do not think that he can fail to do well in the future. Therefore, while he is not as strong on the administrative side of the work as on the purely professional side, yet he has had more experience in administration than any of the other medical officers, and with increase of opportunity, probably, he would continue to improve.\n\n(Sd).

The information asked by you from the Governor of Acheen and Dependencies by your letter addressed to him will undoubtedly be supplied to you soon direct, \n\nIn respect of the above meant transhipment and transit at Sabang, it may be stated that the Netherland Consul at Bombay informed the Netherland Indian Government that the manifest of the S.S. \"Ahmedi”, which left Bushire in December/January last the following goods appeared:- \n\nwith destination Macao:- 110 packages, each containing 4 cases of opium of 160 Engl. pounds; \n\nwith destination Keelung, Kobe and Dairen:- 74 packages, \n\neach containing 2 cases of opium of 160 Engl. pounds; \n\nand 74 packages thereof were landed at Sabang, \n\nAccording to a report received from the Governor of Acheen and Dependencies of the last lot of 74 packages 29 were shipped to Keelung by the S.S. \"Shimei Maru\", 20 to Dairen by the S.S. \"Nemwah\" and the balance to Kobe by the S.S. \"Vollenhoven\". \n\nAn individual of this town, who is interested in shipping to East Asia, stated that generally the opium is sold to persons, who come to fetch it from the ship in small craft, some distance before any port in China can be reached. \n\nI may avail myself of this opportunity to thank you for the report contained in your letter No.711 of the 24th of April last. As will appear from the above \n\nHadji",

A few days after the Cabinet had tendered their resignations, while the Administration was still in a state of suspended animation, the President issued a statement through the Government's official foreign mouthpiece, Mr. Lennox Simpson, declaring that he had not the slightest intention to submit to military dictation and that he had accordingly informed the Cabinet that they could not resign; they had been voted into office by Parliament and could only be voted out of office by Parliament; he, the President, was determined to make this a decisive trial of strength between government by constitutional methods and government by military interference; he would stand firm and allow the will of the people in accordance with his original declaration made at Tientsin when he assumed office last June; the Cabinet had agreed to stand by him, \n\nand so on. \n\nFor ten days or so the issue was in doubt, while the administration once again disorganized ceased to a great extent to function, with many Ministers absenting themselves from their posts. Seeing, however, that the Cabinet was the mere puppet of Loyang and Paotingfu, there was something not altogether real about their attitude, which was probably rather that of the President and possibly the Premier, who appears...",

He proposed therefore to \"rough out\" some proposals to Lieut. Col. Gairdner for consideration.\n\nMr. Smith pointed out that a somewhat similar scheme had already been tried in Malaya & had failed; replies that much water had flowed under the bridges since then. Mr. Smith pointed out that there were obvious difficulties; & that unless they were admitted; it was no use trying to get any further forward. It was agreed to await & discuss Mr. Gairdner's proposals, (possibly) discuss the same with him for submission to the Advisory Council of the 4th. some time in April; when the Ev. 95th. is preparing to meet.

The phrase \"daily quantity allowed\" went as \"daily allowed\". They have read it as \"daily allowance\". \n2. \"Would not agree unless British Representative in a position to undertake\" was sent off without the group for \"unless\". The group for \"in a position to\" was mutilated in transmission and reached Hong Kong as JELKU. The ordinary test for a one letter corruption would have given the correct group, but by altering two other letters, making UELIU, and inverting the groups Hong Kong read \"Would not agree unless British Representative undertakes\". \n3. In the 3rd case the group for \"you are\" was inadvertently used instead of that for \"you\".

Ensley expressed his concurrence in the view of His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton that money payments to help the local Chinese authorities to transport troops to the scene of action are not an illegitimate extension of the policy of cooperation between His Majesty's Forces and the Chinese forces in the suppression of piracy.\n\nThe policy of cooperation having received the approval of His Majesty's Government, the question whether any particular measure is or is not an unjustifiable extension of it must obviously be left to the discretion of the British authorities on the spot.\n\nAt the same time, in view of the political dangers inherent in the policy of cooperation, it is essential that they should be extremely circumspect in exercising their discretion. The general danger is that, by giving colour to the idea that Hongkong is being used as a base for interference in Chinese affairs, anti-British propaganda may be increased among Chinese, and even in the minds of foreign governments suspicion may be aroused. There is also a particular danger, due to the impossibility of directly controlling the acts of ill-disciplined soldiers and irresponsible officials, who may be empowered ostensibly to execute their captures without taking the trouble to establish their guilt in accordance with the principles of British justice. In these respects the conduct of joint operations in any case involves His Majesty's Government in a certain risk of responsibility.\n\nThe question is whether a system of money payments (which incidentally,\n\n18 Michael Palniret, Esq., C.M.G., etc. etc. etc.",

Thus to meet its most urgent needs the University requires a capital to be spent on buildings of $1,345,000 or £134,500; it also requires an additional income of Hong Kong $144,000 or £14,400, say roughly £15,000.\n\n16. The debts owed to the University by the various Governments of China - these debts have been accumulating for years and are still growing - have been already brought to the notice of the Boxer Indemnity Advisory Committee by His Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. I attach a letter signed by Mr. S. P. Waterlow in which the view is taken that it seems not unlikely that the Committee will take a favourable view of Sir R. Stubbs' suggestion that these debts should be regarded as a first charge on the Boxer Indemnity Funds. These debts amounted on the 31st April last to Hong Kong dollars $106,780.29 or roughly £10,700.\n\n17. The amount required to settle this debt would bring the capital amount asked for in this letter up to roughly Hong Kong $1,451,780.29 or £145,100. In other words, the claim which we are venturing to press in this letter is for £150,000 capital and an addition to the University's income of £15,000.\n\nI am, dear Lord Willington,\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(sd.) C. Clementi.\n\nCHANCELLOR.\n\nUniversity of Hong Kong.\n\n486\n\nPage 10\n\n--\n\n...",

This consideration seemed, however, to be outweighed by the fact that the Cantonese are not likely to come to a settlement with H.M.G. otherwise.\n\nThe only possible policy seems to be to trust the discretion of the man on the spot and give him as free a hand as possible.\n\nWe are telegraphing direct to Hong-Kong that an agreement is coming to an end via Peking.

He arrived on the `Gripsholm` and has been employed for the last six years in the Police Department of the Shanghai Municipal Council as a Detective Sergeant. I understand from him that there were half a dozen Shanghai policemen on the exchange ship. Mr. Crouch felt very keenly the fact that no one had met his party or could be persuaded to take an interest in their case. His point was that all of them had endeavoured to enlist early in the war and had been advised by the British Diplomatic representatives in Shanghai to remain at their posts. As a result of that, they said, they had been caught by the Japanese and were now landed in Canada without resources or means of support. I explained as gently as I could that they were not our responsibility but with the help of Mr. Patterson and Mr. Williams in Ottawa, arrangements were made for Mr. Crouch and his colleagues to report to the Department of External Affairs.\n\nMr. Crouch saw the scuttling of the Italian ship `Conte Verde` off Shanghai and he says that relations between Italians and Japanese and between Germans and Japanese in Shanghai are very strained. He informed me also confidentially that there were many short wave receiving sets still in action in Shanghai and that the BBC news through New Delhi and San Francisco were regularly listened to.\n\nI arranged with Mr. Williams to keep tabs on those Shanghai policemen, who are highly qualified men, in case the Colonial Office is interested in employing them on reconstruction work.\n\n`D 64251-1` 20 D/A 87 12/43\n\n33",

The whole body of ardent patriots is supporting and helping it in every way. This paper does not use print and there is no fixed \"format\". It is sent forth to places outside H.K. such as Annam, Singapore, Burmah and the Chinese coastal regions. Its object is to expose the actual situation as regards the Japanese occupation of Hongkong. Its method of publication is by taking Lo's puppet newspaper in Hongkong using a kind of chemical to write characters upon it. After about a fortnight this kind of writing becomes visible. After the paper is sent to its destination the recipient waits a little while and then is able to read it. \"China's Soul\" has been appearing every 1 or 2 days (or 1 or 2 weeks) for six months. Each issue is about 100 copies and it circulates everywhere, in villages and hamlets. Every Chinese is a recording reporter. Each publication is copied and the distributor is an unknown individual. Thus absolute secrecy is maintained. The Japanese in Hongkong have knowledge of its existence and have already seized and examined it a number of times, but searching up to now has been without result. They have also confiscated other publications opposing the puppets but up to now \"China's Soul\" continues to be published as usual. \n\nM37812 50M 9/43 CN&CoLtd",
