The opinions \n\n10 \n\nThis Dubject \n\nthe liesh-informed persons deem to be \n\nthe \n\nfairly summed up be the subjoined \n\narticle retracted frond me of the English \n\nlished at Stoughing :- \n\nNewspapers published at \n\nThe China Ittail.\n\nHONGKONG, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1883.\n\nThe question whether war will, or will not, ensue between France and China is one of vital importance to all foreigners \n\nin the Far East. Personally we do not think it is at all probable that such a calamity will ensue; still it is a question that is fairly sur le tapis. Complications may arise, and in fact have already arisen, between the Governments of the two countries; China may assume a defiant attitude, and sounds of warlike preparations may be heard from Canton to the most northern limits of the Empire, but it is our conviction that the Peking authorities and their advisers will have sufficient good sense to stop at the Rubicon, and, while they may posture there for a while in magnificent defiance, the fatal stream will not be crossed.\n\nWar between France and China would mean the cessation of ordinary trade here and at the ports along the coast. There would be no trade with China while the warlike operations lasted, except in munitions of war and other supplies for the troops. The ports would be blockaded by French war vessels. Even now, a report from Paris states that a blockade is to be established along the Tonquin coast by twenty-four French men-of-war. English vessels, now trading to the Far East would not even find employment, in the event of war, by carrying troops and supplies between Europe and China, as doubtless the vessels of the Messageries Maritimes and the French transports would be found amply sufficient for the work. Business in this port of the world would be at a standstill while the war lasted. The only advantage foreign merchants in China would derive from a war to counterbalance their losses through the stoppage of trade, would be an improved state of affairs for foreigners and foreign trade generally in China after the struggle was over. Probably the Empire would undergo an entire revolution in every way. This is presuming that the French were successful. If the Republic abandoned the war on finding that it would cost her more money and the lives of more troops than she anticipated, the position of Europeans and European trade in China would become far worse than it is at the present moment.\n\nWe have said that the question of war or no war between France and China is fairly sur le tapis. It is not our opinion that there will be a war, but in Europe:\n\n2,\n\nit is quite clear, from recent telegrams, that a struggle between France and China is anticipated. One of the latest of Reuter's direct telegrams received here, for instance, states that \"the Times publishes a telegram in which it is stated that a rupture is imminent between France and China.\" This telegram is dated the 27th ultimo, and two days later another telegram was despatched announcing that \"three French ironclads have been ordered to Tonquin.\" Ironclads are not exactly the sort of war vessels required for operations in Tonquin; vessels of lighter draught would be more serviceable there, and the despatch of ironclads to these parts may certainly give rise to the supposition that the French imagine their war vessels may be required for other work than operations on shore. They do not require iron-clads to bring the Black Flags to reason. The force which was to have sailed from Toulon on the 29th ultimo will, however, be scarcely more than sufficient to drive the Black Flags back from Hanoi. According to the latest news from Paris brought by the mail, the total strength of the French expedition will be only 4,000 men and 12 guns.\n\nFrench operations in Tonquin so far certainly cannot be regarded as having been very successful. The French appear to have committed exactly the same errors as have brought disasters upon British troops in their recent campaigns against half-civilized people. They clearly underestimated the strength of the enemy, and their intelligence department seems to have been faulty. It was a brave act on the part of Commandant Riviere to rush across that narrow bridge, only wide enough for one man, in advance of his troops, but it was not the act of a prudent or able commander. At the other end of the bridge there was a dense jungle, filled, as it afterwards proved to be, with desperate Chinese armed with breech-loaders. As our Haiphong correspondent pointed out last night, it was the clear duty of the officer in command of the column to clear the jungle with artillery before sending a man across the bridge. The proper place for Commandant Riviere was also where he could direct the operations of his men, and not heading such an attack. If the men required leading, there were plenty of officers there for the work. The result of the sortie, with its lamentable results, will doubtless be a useful lesson to the French in their future operations in Tonquin.\n\n8", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-210 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 360530, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-272 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [5-9]", "page_number": 21, "title": "CO129-272 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [5-9]", "content_text": "## Despatch\n8.

All such slopes shall be properly turfed and, if necessary, secured in place by means of masonry toe walls. The Grantee shall see that all refuse matters are properly removed daily from off the premises.\n\n5. XX The Crown Rent s of the Lot shall commence from the date on which possession shall be given. The Grantee shall pay into the Colonial Treasury a proportionate part of the annual rental specified in the particulars hereinbefore contained on the next half-yearly day on which Crown Rent is payable.

The land is in the Fo Pang Valley area on Waterloo Road, Kowloon, and the Mission proposes to construct thereon a school for 1,000 boys. This school would be named the Wah Yan College, and would replace the existing school of that name which is at present housed in inadequate rented premises and which caters for only 500 children.\n\n2\\. It is intended that this new school should be operated as a grant-in-aid school, and you will therefore wish to know what this Government's commitment will be. The cost of constructing the school inclusive of site formation will be approximately $2,000,000 to which should be added $100,000 for furniture and equipment. Under the Grant Code, Government's share of this is one half which amounts to $1,050,000. A sum of $1,000,000 has been provided in this year's estimates under Sub-head 24 of Head 8 to meet Government's liabilities towards the construction.\n\n3\\. The annual recurrent cost to Government in respect of this school is estimated at $360,000, which is $188,000 more than is paid at present in respect of the existing school catering for 500 children.\n\n4\\. The Wah Yan College, being a grant-aided school, would be a Government school in all but name, and the erection of it would have the effect of providing the Colony with a new 1,000 pupil school at half cost to the taxpayer, saving $1,050,000 in capital expenditure. There would also be a saving of approximately $16,000 per annum in respect of the difference between the estimated annual running cost to Government and the running cost of a similar Government school. While the Colony would have a new school in a modern building for 1,000 pupils, there would of course only be a net increase of 500 children attending school by reason of the fact that the existing Wah Yan College would be closed.\n\n5\\. Subject to your approval the Executive Council has advised that the site be granted at a nominal premium, but that Crown rent be charged at $2,000 per acre, which is the normal rate for the district.

The Mission was unable to decide exactly the extent of their project until it was known upon what terms Government would grant the land. The figure of 200,000 square feet was consequently only a tentative one. Originally they contemplated spending about $2,000,000, of which Government would contribute one half. The Mission now find that their project will cost more, and that they are in a position to expend approximately $5,000,000, although Government's contribution will remain at the original figure, i.e., approximately $1,050,000. This permits a much more satisfactory scheme and better development of the area in question, but it also requires a larger site. The Mission now ask that the area granted be increased to 447,800 square feet.\n\n3.\n\nThis project will permit the establishment of a large, first-class, non-profit-making school, which I consider will be an asset to the Colony. It is most desirable that work on this school be commenced as soon as possible, and in consequence, with the advice of my Executive Council, I have approved that the grant of land by private treaty be extended to about 447,800 square feet.\n\nH.K. & PROCLAMATIONS \n23 JUN 1949 \nREGISTRY \n\nI have the honour to be, \nSir, \nYour most obedient, humble servant, \n**GOVERNOR.**\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nARTHUR CREECH JONES, M.P.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-619-8 Wah Yau College- request to extend land grant 16-6-1949 - 1-7-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 595249, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-619-8 Wah Yau College- request to extend land grant 16-6-1949 - 1-7-1949", "page_number": 6, "title": "CO129-619-8 Wah Yau College- request to extend land grant 16-6-1949 - 1-7-1949", "content_text": "# 1949\n## 54439/1\n### 3", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-619-8 Wah Yau College- request to extend land grant 16-6-1949 - 1-7-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
