He dispuesto de acuerdo con el Excmo.

Todo buque procedente del Archipiélago de Joló y tripulado por moros, será destruído y su tripulación y pasajeros destinados á trabajos públicos en las Islas del Norte del Archipiélago.\n\n2. Si los buques á que se refiere el artículo anterior fuesen armados, con arreglo á lo dispuesto en nuestra legislación, serán tenidos por piratas y juzgados en Consejo de guerra sus tripulantes según las disposiciones del Código penal.\n\n3. Toda embarcación aunque no esté tripulada, perteneciente á los moros de las Islas de Joló y Tawi-Tawi será destruida por los cruceros.\n\n4. Las embarcaciones á que se refieren los artículos anteriores, que probasen proceder de otras Islas que las de Joló y Tawi-Tawi no reconocer la autoridad del Sultan y no ocuparse de la piratería, serán conducidas por los cruceros á las Islas de su procedencia.\n\n5.

Le Yun-Não est resté jusqu'ici un pays pauvre, I produit cependant assez de vivres pour la nourriture de ses habi- tants, et ses vallées sont très-fertiles; mais, pour les articles industriels, tels que les tissus et les vêtements, il dépend tout à fait des provinces voisines, car on n'y récolte, pour ainsi dire, ni coton ni soie, mais, en échange des marchan- dises qu'il demande, Je Yan-Nan peut offrir, indépendaument de ses thés de qualité supérieure, les riches produits de son sous-sol, For, l'argent, le fer, le cuivre, le plomb, l'étain, le zinc, le mercure, la houille. Toutes ces richesses demeurent par malheur à peu près inexploitées, faute de moyens d'écoulement, les transports par la Chine elle-même étant d'une grande difficulté et d'une lenteur extrême. Le fleuve du Tong-Kin une fois ouvert à une navigation libre et régul- lière, c'est par centaines de millions qu'il faudrait chiffrer la valeur des produits qui prendraient cette voie, pour pénétrer en Chine ou pour en descendre à la mer. \n\nLe moment paraissait d'ailleurs mal choisi pour une tentative de ce genre: la guerre civile était dans toute sa force, et on ne parlait de rien moins que d'abandonner la province aux musulmans. La commission du Mé-Kong y avait même couru un grand danger sans le savoir, celti d'être emprisonnée dans la ville d'Yun-Nän-Sèn, capitale da pasy, qu'elle venait à peine de quitter lorsque les insurgés l'investirent. M. Dupuis prit donc le parti de retourner à Han- Kéou et d'y attendre une heure plus propice, et pour la hater en tant qu'il dépendait de lui, il expédia aux troupes imperiales une grande quantité d'armes perfectionnées, parmi lesquelles des canons rayés de fabrique française, qu'accompagnaient des Européens chargés d'en enseigner lé maniement aux Chinois. Mais, en 1870, voyant que la guerre menaçait de s'éterniser, il n'y tint plus et gagna de nouveau le Yun-Nau par la voie du Yang Tse-Kiang, bien décidé cette fois à pousser à tout hasard jusqu'au fleuve Rouge. \n\nNotre compatriote y retrouva les autorités dans les mêmes bonnes dispositions où il les avait laissées: elles lui don- nèrent des lettres de recommandation pour divers chels qu'il devait rencontrer en chemin, et, se dirigeant au sud-ouest, il se mit en route. A Tong-keou, le maréchal Ma, qui assiégeait cette ville, lui donna une escorte de treute hommes commandée par un mandarin militaire, auquel il adjoignit un inandarin civil, Arrivée à Mout-Ze, cette escorte refusa de le suivre plus loin, mais les auto rités lui en fournirent une seconde et il s'avanca resold- ment vers la haute vallée du Song-Koi, malgré les bruits peu encourageants qui circulaient sur les tribus indépen- dantes de cette vallée. Mais, près de franchir les bautes crêtes qui l'en séparaient, il fut de nouveau délaissé par son escorte, pen désireuse de s'engager dans une région que les habitants des plateaux tiennent pour être très-insa- lubre, et ce ne fut pas sans beaucoup de dangers, de ta- tigues et de privations de toutes sortes que le couragenx voyageur atteignit le Hong-Kiang, ou fleuve Rouge, nom que la grande artère fluviale du Tong-Kin porte en Chine ou sur le territoire des tribos indépendantes, et qu'il doit à la couleur de ses eaux. Il le descendit jusqu'à Kouen-Ce, premier poste amamite, et comme on ne l'aurait pas laissé le franchir, il dat borner là son exploration. Aussi bien pouvait-il considérer son but principal comme atteint: il avait, en effet, acquis la certitude qu'à partir du point où il était arrivé, le fleuve ne présentait pas d'obstacles à la navigation jusqu'à la mer. La voie nouvelle présentait sur celle de Bhâm l'avantage de pouvoir être utilisée de suite sans aucuns travaux; elle répondait aux besoins commer- ciaux, non-seulement des provinces chinoises de Yun-Nan, de Sze-Tchuen, de Kouci-Tcheou, de Kouang-Si, mais -encore da Tibet, du Laos, du Tong-Kin, et ouvrait de belles perspectives au commerce du monde entier, mais surtout à celui de la France. \n\nDe retour au fun-Nâu, l'intrépide explorateur y reçut des mandarins le meilleur accueil, et tous lui manifestèrent un vif désir de voir le fleuve Rouge s'ouvrir au commerce de leur province. Le royaume d'Angam étant tributaire du Céleste-Empire, les Chinois avaient déjà le privilége de commercer avec le Tong-Kin, et il semblait aux autorités de Yun-Nâu qu'elles étaient d'autant plus fondées à réclamer la libre circulation sur le Song-Koi, que ce cours d'eau y a \n\nses sources et sa vallée supérieure. Elles donnèrent done à M. Dupuis des pouvoirs en règle qui lui permettaient d'organiser une expédition, et grâce auxquels il espérait ve- nie à bout de sa tâche sans trop de peine. Il fallait bien envisager cependant l'hypothèse où les Annamites lui re- fuseraient obstinément un libre passage et où il faudrait recourir à la force pour se le frayer. Mais cetto perspective laissait M. Dupuis sans grande inquietude. Les renseigne- ments qu'il avait recueillis durant ses excursions parmi les tribus sauvages du Tong-Kin nord occidental ne lui avaient pas communiqué une haute idée du courage des Annamites. Voyez, lui avait dit un des chefs montagnards, voyez mes » homines; ils n'ont que des lances, et cependant une > centaine d'eux font fuir un millier d'Annamites. Ils fuient » à toutes jambes et ce n'est qu'en embuscade qu'il offrent quelque résistance. » Ce dire avait bien paru à M. Da- puis quelque peu vantard; mais il avait eu depuis l'occa sion de le contrôler, et il en avait reconnu toute l'exacti- lude. \n\nAvant de se lancer dans son entreprise, il jugea opportun de se rendre en France, et c'est là que nous le retrouvons eu 1872. Il avoue sans détour que les personnes auxquelles il s'ouvrit de ses projets lui tinrent un langage tres-découra- geant. Elles lui dépeignaient avec force la mauvaise foi et la cruauté bien connues des mandarins annamites; elles lui représentaient le Tong-Kin en proie à la guerre civile, le pays très-montagneux, le fleuve très-encaissé et la facilité avec laquelle on pouvait en intercepter la navigation, ainsi que les Chinois l'avaient fait jadis pour le Pei-Ho; elles lui ontraient enfin son einbouchure occupée par des troupes de pirates, bien décidés à n'y laisser pénétrer personne. Le propre des convictions robustes est d'avoir réponse à tout, et aucune objection n'était capable de refroidir l'ar- deur de M. Dupuis, son enthousiasme même : « Voyez, » répliquait-il, ce que les Anglais savent faire dans des \n\n• circonstances moins favorables que les miennes; il fant » de la persévérance, un peu d'énergie, et c'est tout. Il était très-désireux néanmoins de se concilier l'appui, au moins moral, de son pays; et c'est à cette fin qu'il fit des dé- marchies près du ministère de la marine. L'accneil qu'il en reçut fat, il le reconnait, des plus bienveillants; mais on ne lui cacha point que, dans les circonstances actuelles, la France ne pouvait faire que des veux pour son succes. On ferait officicusement pour lui tout ce qu'on pourrait, mais sans s'engager. C'était à lui de se frayer un passage à sos risques et périls, et si un sort funeste devait mal- heureusement lui échoir, oa n'interviendrait pas pour venger sa mort ou celle de ses compagnons. \n\nLe 14 avril 1872, M. Dupuis quittait la France, ot, le 15 mai suivant, il prenait terre à Saigon, où le général d'Arbaud, gouverneur par intérim, le recut fort bien, et d'où il repartit bientôt pour se rendre à Shang-Hai et y procéder aux derniers préparatifs de son expédition. Revenu à Saigon, le 12 septembre, il y anodifia ses in- tentions premières qui avaient été d'abord de se faire con- duire à Hae, capitale de l'Annam, sous la protection du pavillon français, et il prit le parti de gagner directement avec ses gens, le goile du Tong-Kin. Il fut toutefois con- venu entre lui et le gouverneur qu'un vapeur francais croiserait, à tout événement, dans les parages de Hai-Phong, où l'expédition devait rallier. Elle se composait de deux canonnières à vapeur, d'une chaloupe à vapeur, d'une grande jonque, auxquelles un bateau à roues s'adjoignit plus tard, et que montaient 150 hommes, dont 25 Européens et le restant Malais, Chinois, Manillais. Pour l'équiper et pour Farmer, M. Dupuis avait dù engager toute sa fortune et faire, à part une certaine somme qui fut versée entre ses mains par les autorités de Yun-tan, Lous les premiers frais de l'entreprise. Mais une convention en règle lui as surait 10,000 piculs d'étain, calculés à forfait sur le picd de 100 francs chacun; il devait, en outre, vendre pour le compte des mandarins et à valoir sur ses propres dépenses, 12,000 autres piculs de cuivre; on lui promettait enfin une large part dans l'exploitation des mines; le tout, en somme, constituant des conditions tris-avantageuses, comme il en convient lui-même. \n\nLe 8 novembre 1872, l'expédition mouillait près de llaï- Phong, et y trouvait l'aviso le Bourayne, commandant Senez, que le général d'Arbaud, lidèle à sa promesse, avait dépêché Pour lui faciliter l'entrée du Song-Koi. Le delta de ce fleuve est uu immense dépôt d'alluvions formées par les détritus qu'il entraîne à l'époque de ses hautes eaux, et le littoral est si bas qu'il est très-difficile d'en reconnaître les bouches, outre que de nombreux hauts-fonds rendent cette opéra- tion périlleuse. M. Dupuis l'éprouva lui-même, ca essayant de pénétrer tour à tour par celles de ces bouches qui por- \n\n7001 \n\n315", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-176 - Public Offices & Others - 1876.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 308059, "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": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "page_number": 49, "title": "CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4]", "content_text": "## 46 \n2. \n## 44 \n### Intimations. \n**THE CHINA VIEW.** \nChowder was claved tho putti! \n### Visitors' Column. \n**THE CHINA MAIL.** \n### Hongkong Rates of Postage. \n(via June 26, 1889) \nLal Parki Yest \n1.

It was at the same time fully conceded that before long the Colony would have to face the necessity of setting aside a very large sum annually for the purpose of keeping the harbour properly dredged; but that the larger portion of the Revenues of the Colony would probably be required for some time to come in connection with questions of Public Health including schemes for increasing the water supply and sanitation, which were recognised to be of immediate and vital necessity to the prosperity and welfare of the Colony. Moreover, as it appeared to be of great importance to the Navy that at least certain portions of the harbour should be dredged, and as the Vice-Admiral had himself acknowledged that as a Naval base in the Far East, Hongkong was of indispensable imperial importance, it was urged on behalf of the Colonial Government that the Admiralty should, when the time came, take its full share in providing funds for so costly an undertaking.\n\nThe Vice-Admiral pointed out that though the proposal for removing shoals in the harbour did in a sense emanate from the Navy, it was put forward in order to show that the real though perhaps at first undiscerned cause of the wish to improve the lighting of the harbour waters was a connection of the dangers due to the existence of shoal water in certain places within it. His Excellency laid stress on the fact that had there been perfectly clear water inside, the proposals to improve the lighting, which had been referred to him would not have been made,\n\nHis Excellency also declined to admit that the object of the builders of the new deep docks already referred to would be met by deepening the immediate approaches to the docks. It might be taken as certain that they were providing, a time when very large ships would frequent the port and be likely to find docks capable of receiving them a necessity. His view was that while it would be a convenience to the Navy to have the area of deep water in Hongkong harbour increased, it was vital to the future prosperity of the port that the increasing size of Merchant Steamers should be recognised in time, as it had been probably in every other great port in the world. After some discussion it was unanimously agreed that the Government should communicate on the matter with the Chamber of Commerce, informing them that His Excellency the Vice-Admiral had expressed the conviction that it would be necessary to dredge the harbour in the very remote future, especially in the eastern part of it.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-311 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne - 1902 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 393964, "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": "CO129-324 - Governor Nathan - 1904 [10-12]", "page_number": 525, "title": "CO129-324 - Governor Nathan - 1904 [10-12]", "content_text": "(Stations 4-5.)

At present to \n\nreach this place they have to go by launch through Lyemoon Pass \n\nand the sea is often very rough. The fare is about 60 cents \n\nfor the trip. When the Railway is open, they will travel by rail to Taipo and go by launch from there avoiding the rough sea met with East of Iyemoon. Very much more than 14 cents a mile could \n\nbe charged to passengers booking through to Sha U Ching, but I would not advise this unless the Railway care to start running \n\nthe launch. I do not think the ordinary passenger travelling \n\nto Taipo would pay more than this amount. \n\nFrom this you will see that the rates per mile for the 3rd. class passenger must vary according to the way in which there is competition with the steamers and I will endeavour to prove that \n\nwith careful adjustment of rates a fair profit can be made by dividing up the gross earnings of each class by mileage without going to the extreme of making it a sine qua non that the earnings \n\nbe divided in the ratio of the capital cost. \n\n* \n\nThe cost of running this section will be expensive and I \n\ndo not want to take too sanguine a view now when I am estimating \n\nthe profits. \n\nSir Matthew Nathan has made a note that an endeavour should \n\nbe made to get the Chinese to agree to run both sections as one line under a joint board of management. This of course would \n\nbe the best plan under ordinary circumstances and every effort \n\nmust be put forward to try and get such a scheme agreed upon by \n\nthe Chinese. \n\nIt will be necessary to have a Traffic Manager, a Chief Engineer and an Auditor and if the pay of these officers and their \n\noffice establishment can be divided up over 120 miles instead of \n\nover 20, the working expenses per mile would be greatly reduced. \n\nAll the same it is necessary to look at it from a Chinese point \n\nof view. It would pay the Chinese much better and suit the \n\ngeneral feeling in the country more if the Chinese section of the \n\nKowloon Canton Railway were worked as a branch of the Canton \n\nHankow Railway. \n\nThis", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 413555, "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": "CO129-347 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [4-6]", "page_number": 57, "title": "CO129-347 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [4-6]", "content_text": "## \n**Tow Bin dquoráð adeg en dołów dółw gillida bus vetbiqar nát \nerit of veitsi roy timɗua bluoda I fadt erlɛab woy ti bns \neldð veriðeríw rabtɛnon of mid rot nổ [[kw 31 ets#2 to viajetɔ#2 \naid to Isarover sdið 102 abawory drafolttue estutitaron seol \ns'agbut anelul edt dandt bermatat (Towawod is I .notaiosb termot \nart oris saw jadi buɛ,balquooo yllet Jon insestq da si omið \nerotarent að yam f1 .8gbol snelul gnitɔA romiot a to notniqo \nemit air bnit vem eɔnstraqua nast ridiw rosesoova e'eal H JANJ \n.14 to waly add diguorid,baiquoso vlist stom derivamos \nJarij vetni of mese blow babulls evarf I dotdw of fitim? admoore2 \nmin yolque of drow insiɔittuani evad (Itta [Ltw egbu% snelv¶ odt \nadt brs,ɛaentend drnod to JnsmoŋNETIB BNT \nmidtłw ylloriw ansdjam are afla tro) erit dołów zatrub equor \nvw of mistot vistične at Ji bna notteroalb a'rwonol Toy \nAUTON I MIN WOF- \noa ob of beitilaup I show neve - nottamifont \navitvoox? ent to bsex edt to eredqa rogong erit broyed qeta ot \nSS moltoe2 sonte (ottam ent mi enoitesagwa wa netto of bas \nToy ni vllcriw an6dtam eandt sessiq ETB1 To & #onsnibr0 to \nof brawrot of am asrlash wonoй OY sonia tuff .abnaṁ a'uonoĦ \nTOY \nnottustnos quay troqqua of aquaerq 3 busjedat? to viajetos? enT \n[[łw ajaja to vrajeto92 ant viaɛzsoon at egbut, brint a Janit**\n\nnaturally desire to know whether the limits of time during which \nthe Judges can sit daily have been reached, and whether any re-arrangement of the work is not possible by which the Chief Justice could be relieved of excessive work.\n\n7.\n\nIn this connection I find that the Officer Administering the Government before my arrival made the suggestion that the Puisne Judge should permanently take all the Bankruptcy work, and Mr. Wise expressed his willingness to do so, but reported that Your Honour \"objected to the proposed arrangement\".

There appears to have been no difficulty at that time in meeting the current work, and Mr. T. S. Smith gave it as his opinion that the Summary work would not be dislocated were due notice given of any Original or Full Court work for which the Puisne Judge might be required, provided of course that 2 Judges are not required to sit on ordinary heavy cases in Original Court. Other proposals suggested were that the public examination in Bankruptcy should be taken by the Registrar or Senior Deputy Registrar and the Chief Justice or Puisne Judge receive the Registrar's report and make his order upon it, and that the Chief Justice and Puisne Judge should take the Criminal Sessions.\n\nVLISYEJAN", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-347 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 414573, "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": "CO129-348 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [7-10]", "page_number": 484, "title": "CO129-348 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [7-10]", "content_text": "# Side KOKON Z\n\nA No todoonia\n\nI spo delt but I apt-tains enter I\n\n4.

That the intention of the defendant was to obtain the arrest of the plaintiffs and seizure of their store is clear from the correspondence. The test of continuing intention is abundantly satisfied, so far as the seizure of the store is concerned: the plaintiffs were not in fact arrested. If we take the law to be that the wrongful act occurs as well at the place it is started as at the place where it takes effect, then unless Castrique v. Behrens() and Taylor v. Ford() were wrongly decided, either the rule of double wrongfulness does not arise, or this is an exception to it: or it is assumed to be wrongful by the foreign law. These three positions cover the whole legal field. The last one was much debated during the argument and it is necessary that I should deal with it. I shall not go deeply into the questions to which the rule of double wrong-fulness gives rise; but these facts seem to me fairly clear that it first took definite shape in the case of the Halley:() that there was a decision in a case of assault abroad—Secto v. Seymour(:)which was well-known, but in which this rule was not discussed: and that the only explanation is that given\n\n() 2 Moo. P. C. N. S. 161.\n\nby Wright J. in the Mozambique Co.'s.() case, that in simple cases the Court may and will assume the act to be wrongful by the foreign law. If this is an accurate view of a rather troublesome branch of the law, as I think it is, then it applies in this case, and I shall assume that it is wrongful by the law of Germany to make false statements to an official in order to get him to act to the detriment of another person: unless it is privileged. But this privilege would depend on the law of Germany which was not proved. It was useless to refer to the absolute privilege of proceed-ings in the English Courts, even if it were analogous; for that is essentially a doctrine appertaining to English administration of justice. I was disposed to give the defendant the benefit of the principle of Blackham v. Pugh(); that the occasion is privileged if the speaker has a personal interest in the subject matter of the communication, and even to assume that this was the law of Germany. But even transferring the locus of the act complained of to England, I am satisfied that the privilege would be rebutted. There is quite enough motive to establish malice in fact. Any one of the known tests of malice is satisfied: Did they believe in the case? There was on their own showing not the slightest ground for belief and they did not believe in it, only hoped it might be true. Was there an indirect motive? Yes, to get this sum paid in priority to the other creditors of the sugar shop.\n\nOne other point has been raised to the competence of the Court. It is said that as the wrong complained of is a trespass to realty in a foreign country, the case falls within the well-known rule that an action will not lie. The rule was laid down in Donlson v. Matthews(); and as was said in the Mozambique Co.'s. case() that case has never been dissented from or even doubted. I am of opinion that even if the rule is applicable to such a case as the present it does not cover the whole ground of the claim; for there was a seizure of the goods, by imposition of seals and taking an inventory, as well as a seizure of the store; and although the two acts were practically combined in one, there is nothing in the rule which prevents this Court from taking cognizance of the lawfulness of the seizure of the goods. I do not think that Doulson v. Matthews() goes to the extent of saying that because an action cannot be brought for ejectment from land abroad, therefore no action can be brought for the seizure or detention of cattle on the land. The case of Skinner v. East India Co.() which laid the foundation for the doctrine expressly discriminates between the transitory and the local part of a claim. The company had assaulted the plaintiff, taken his ship and goods, and dispossessed him of his land in the Indies. I do not see why a different principle should prevail because in this case the\n\n424", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-355 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419501, "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": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "page_number": 47, "title": "CO129-357 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [7-9]", "content_text": "44\n\nMIO # LIAR LOUP, ayat ahili wal -lɑdroqque ročndtzzeit lettw on gratastTM wat -:goolyme? seno? ‚eeso dont capo amor Lartetdi »tenemstanutt to sqyt „barittan boog ni dget at diarra ew draig brole Aut vdoten suild bros,vfquare to vštericnon sår gattoo\"te ne,tebro .7 .0 .8 at et arriotnoo ha,otfang ei to 1 & hre I aqnther Tabou betto baltibor,godamalsishinaU THOU **: BA usodrcenxa wet a ni oveworl anthaer-dim.

Admission has been made that for making a special Blend of Whisky, liquor is taken from three different casks and water is then added for breaking down, the quantity increased is passed into consumption and the balance is included in the stock until exported; meanwhile the stock of these three \"casks\" consists partly of the pure and partly of the broken down liquid a deficiency which comes under the penalty of Section ...\n\nThe Ordinance has no mention that the increase of liquor by breaking down is to be passed into consumption free of duty.

One firm sold to a Chinese licensee a certain quantity of broken down Whisky who removed it into his warehouse and subsequently paid duty on this broken down Whisky for consumption.\n\nIt may be argued that the merchants may import and pay duty on the cask of Whisky immediately on arrival ex. ship without bonding it and once free may increase the quantity as they wish according to the Regulation made by the Legislative Council on the 2nd December, 1909, which reads as follows:- \n\nFurther resolved that on intoxicating liquor, other than spirits of wine, arrack and native wines and spirits imported into, distilled, made or prepared in the Colony above proof strength there shall be paid an additional duty of 4 cents for every degree above proof in the case of brandy, 3 cents for every degree above proof in the case of Whisky, and 2 cents for every degree above proof in the case of any other liquor.\n\nIn that case samples of such liquor must be taken by the...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 425846, "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": "CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7]", "page_number": 216, "title": "CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7]", "content_text": "214\n\nof thermtevoð eɛentɗo erit of nego aow di tedt galbostnos หมวด ๑\n\nverið Tonasa yuna ni gniɗore milgo to moteeerqque ont dittv Lash\n\nbra myterot neewded Jaemtesnj to viilaupe as gnol os,fit was\n\nbeoubbs I Jnemsyta to actuos act al bentesdo mutqo wat evitac\n\nsetuos to Juď,Jdạim vidaviesnos tarw to amoidartevi!!

MacDonald to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received December 5.) (No. 252.)\n\nSir,\n\nTokyo, November 19, 1910.\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward herewith cuttings from the \"Japan Daily Herald\" of the 28th and 29th ultimo, consisting of an article describing the prospects of the sugar industry in Formosa, together with a few comments thereon by Mr. R. Boulter, acting commercial attaché to this embassy. The article is of interest at the present moment in view of the attempt which will shortly be made to find an outlet in the Chinese market for the surplus production of raw sugar in Formosa. I am given to understand that the writer is a M. R. N. Ohey, a German subject, who is manager in Yokohama of Messrs. Tait and Co., a British firm whose head office is in Amoy, and that his knowledge of the question is up to date and reliable.\n\nI have, &c. (For His Majesty's Ambassador),\n\nHORACE RUMBOLD.\n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"Japan Daily Herald\" of October 28 and 29, 1910.\n\nTHE SUGAR INDUSTRY IN FORMOSA.\n\nTHERE is one Japanese industry which, in spite of the general depression which has now lasted so long and of the consequent lack of all spirit of enterprise, and also in spite of the catastrophe of the Nippon Seito Kaisha, has during the last few years increased greatly and continually attracted capital for new enterprises. It is the Formosa sugar industry.\n\nIt must be admitted at the outset, however, that it has not reached this flourishing condition entirely by its own strength, but that it owes it partly to the extensive subsidising policy of the Government. This subsidising policy has finally gone so far that, especially in consequence of the damage done to the sugar refineries in Japan by the collapse of the Dai Nippon Seito Kaisha which was partly caused by the subsidising policy of the Government, in the last session of the Diet a protest was raised against the system of employing these subsidies hitherto in force, and that this has been replaced by a system at least less open to attack. Under the old system, the officials were bound to class all Formosa sugar as first class (although, according to its quality it should almost all have gone under the second class of the consumption tax) in order to spare it the high taxation of the better quality and in this way procure it a preference of 2.50 yen per 100 kin over the foreign product. According to the decision of the last session of the Diet, this has been changed to the extent that Formosan centrifugal sugar must now be estimated according to its quality. In compensation, however, a sort of premium of 1 yen per 100 kin is guaranteed to it irrespective of quality, so that besides the protective duty of 2.25 yen per 100 kin on foreign sugar, it has in its favour also this consumption tax of 1 yen per 100 kin over imported sugar (Java centrifugal sugar) in favour of the big companies, and to the detriment of the people, for whom sugar is in this way constantly being made dearer!\n\nThe object of this whole development of the Formosa sugar industry as favoured by the Government, and which it will certainly attain in the near future is of course perfectly clear: it is the exclusion of all foreign sugar from Japan and the complete...\n\nPage 270\n\nPage 271", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 427724, "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": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "page_number": 272, "title": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "content_text": "4\n\nIn conclusion, we give a list of the sugar factories now at work or commenced in Formosa :-\n\n \n Name.\n Capital.\n Production,\n Dividend.\n Remarks.\n \n \n 1.

The form in which it is granted is as follows:-\n\nCost of sugar-cane shoots, up to 40 yen per kō (1 kō or kah = 24 acres). Last year's subsidy was 30 yen per kō.\n\nCost of fertilisers, up to 80 yen per kō. Last year's subsidy was 50 yen per kō.\n\nIrrigation or draining expenses, up to 50 per cent, of the cost of the work. The same as for last year.\n\nIt was estimated that the maximum amount receivable at last year's rates was 114 yen per 100 kin, usually spoken of as the 1-yen subsidy, while the rates for the coming season are expected to work out at 1.50 yen per 100 kin. It should be noted that this subsidy has to be granted afresh each year.\n\n[b.] There is a slip here. The rebate of 195 yen is a rebate on import tax, not on consumption tax. The law under which it is granted is as follows :-\n\n\"Law for drawback of tax on sugar imported as raw material.\" (Law No. 33 of March 1902 with amendments to the 24th March, 1909.)\n\nArticle 1.

MacDonald to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received December 5.)\n\nTokyo, November 19, 1910.\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward herewith cuttings from the \"Japan Daily Herald\" of the 28th and 29th ultimo, consisting of an article describing the prospects of the sugar industry in Formosa, together with a few comments thereon by Mr. R. Boulter, acting commercial attaché to this embassy. The article is of interest at the present moment in view of the attempt which will shortly be made to find an outlet in the Chinese market for the surplus production of raw sugar in Formosa. I am given to understand that the writer is a M. R. N. Ohey, a German subject, who is manager in Yokohama of Messrs. Tait and Co., a British firm whose head office is in Amoy, and that his knowledge of the question is up to date and reliable.\n\nI have, &c.

The Government appears to be determined to prevent such a development of the industry in Formosa, as the following extract from the semi-official \"Japan Times\" of the 11th instant shows :--\n\n\"With the object of preventing over-production, the Formosan Governor-General has given private notice to the existing companies manufacturing unrefined sugar to the following effect :--\n\n\"1. The Government will not give permission for the time being to the establishment of fresh sugar manufactories.\n\n2. Nor will it permit an extension of the present manufactories so as to increase their productive capacities.\n\n\"3. The same restrictions shall be placed also on the production of refined sugar.\"\n\nThe sugar refineries in Japan are said to be excellently equipped, but never to have been worked to their full capacity by any means.\n\nR. BOULTER.\n\nYokohama, November 15, 1910.\n\n0\n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"Japan Daily Herald\" of October 28 and 29, 1910.\n\n**THE SUGAR INDUSTRY IN FORMOSA.**\n\nTHERE is one Japanese industry which, in spite of the general depression which has now lasted so long and of the consequent lack of all spirit of enterprise, and also in spite of the catastrophe of the Nippon Seito Kaisha, has during the last few years increased greatly and continually attracted capital for new enterprises. It is the Formosa sugar industry.\n\nIt must be admitted at the outset, however, that it has not reached this flourishing condition entirely by its own strength, but that it owes it partly to the extensive subsidising policy of the Government. This subsidising policy has finally gone so far that, especially in consequence of the damage done to the sugar refineries in Japan by the collapse of the Dai Nippon Seito Kaisha which was partly caused by the subsidising policy of the Government, in the last session of the Diet a protest was raised against the system of employing these subsidies hitherto in force, and that this has been replaced by a system at least less open to attack. Under the old system, the officials were bound to class all Formosa sugar as first class (although, according to its quality it should almost all have gone under the second class of the consumption tax) in order to spare it the high taxation of the better quality and in this way procure it a preference of 2.50 yen per 100 kin over the foreign product. According to the decision of the last session of the Diet, this has been changed to the extent that Formosal centrifugal sugar must now be estimated according to its quality. In compensation, however, a sort of premium of 1 yen per 100 kin is guaranteed to it irrespective of quality, so that besides the protective duty of 2.25 yen per 100 kin on foreign sugar, it has in its favour also* this consumption tax of 1 yen per 100 kin over imported sugar (Java centrifugal sugar) in favour of the big companies, and to the detriment of the people, for whom sugar is in this way constantly being made dearer !\n\nThe object of this whole development of the Formosa sugar industry as favoured by the Government, and which it will certainly attain in the near future is of course perfectly clear: it is the exclusion of all foreign sugar from Japan and the complete\n\n* The italicised letters are inserted by Mr. Boulter for purposes of his commentary notes (Enclosure 2.)\n\n[1825 e-1]\n\nB\n\na\n\n258", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 427727, "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": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "page_number": 275, "title": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "content_text": "In conclusion, we give a list of the sugar factories now at work or commenced in Formosa.\n\nName.

The form in which it is granted is as follows:—\n\nCost of sugar-cane shoots, up to 40 yen per kō (1 kō or kah = 24 acres). Last year's subsidy was 30 yen per kō.\n\nCost of fertilisers, up to 80 yen per kō. Last year's subsidy was 50 yen per kō.\n\nIrrigation or draining expenses, up to 50 per cent. of the cost of the work. The same as for last year.\n\nIt was estimated that the maximum amount receivable at last year's rates was 114 yen per 100 kin, usually spoken of as the 1-yen subsidy, while the rates for the coming season are expected to work out at 150 yen per 100 kin. It should be noted that this subsidy has to be granted afresh each year.\n\n[b] There is a slip here. The rebate of 1.95 yen is a rebate on import tax, not on consumption tax. The law under which it is granted is as follows:—\n\nLaw for drawback of tax on sugar imported as raw material.” (Law No. 33 of March 1902 with amendments to the 24th March, 1909.)\n\nArticle 1. Persons who manufacture refined sugar or sugar-candy with Government sanction, using as raw material imported sugar of under No. 15 Dutch standard colouring, may apply to the Government for the grant of a sum of money calculated at the following rates on the quantity obtained by subtracting from the quantity of raw material sugar the quantity of sugar of under No. 15 standard which is produced at the time of manufacture :—\n\n1. When the manufactured article is supplied for consumption in the country—\n\n(a) When the raw material sugar is under No. 8 Dutch standard colouring\n\n(b) When the raw material sugar is under No. 15 Dutch standard colouring\n\n2. When the manufactured article is exported abroad—\n\n(a) When the raw material sugar is under No. 8 Dutch standard colouring\n\n(b) When the raw material sugar is under No. 15 Dutch standard colouring\n\n1.45 yen per 100 kin.\n\n1.95 yen per 100 kin.\n\n1.65 yen per 100 kin.\n\n2.25 yen per 100 kin.\n\nThis application must be made within a year from the date of import. Persons manufacturing refined sugar without filtering it through animal charcoal cannot apply for a refund of tax under paragraph 1.\n\nHowever, cases where, with Government sanction, some process is employed in place of filtering through charcoal do not fall under this heading.\n\nArt. 2.

I requested Messrs. Pollock and Murray Stewart to negociate as to this offer, and they have reported to me, that they are unable to obtain very substantially better terms than those offered, which on the whole as amended they consider not unreasonable. They are strongly of opinion that these lots should be acquired for the Station and feared that unless Government came to an early decision the opportunity might be lost. They however considered that if it were possible to provide the money it would be much the best for Government to purchase the lots in question without making any exchanges. It is anticipated that the owners would be willing to sell for a sum of $1,472,389.53 if the Police Camber is also given to them (valued at $287,083.60). Mr. Chatham agreed with their view, and I am myself inclined to concur also, since it is admitted that the values asked are not excessive, and the land we own will probably increase in value. The proposals compare thus. (Omitting the Camber common to both).\n\nA.

In November, the Section had 3 days in Camp in the New Territories when some useful field work was put in. Lance Corpl. Lloyd, 4th K.R.R.C., acted as Instructor until his departure from the Colony in March last. Sergt. Mitchelmore (in charge) has qualified as an Assistant Instructor. Lance Sergt. Crawford holds a Naval Signalling Certificate and Corpl. W. Hill (now on leave) a 1st Class Army Certificate. 2 members have recently qualified as 1st Class Signallers and 2 as Second Class. The remainder will shortly be examined by the Command Signalling Officer.\n\nIn addition to the above qualifications, seven members hold 1st Class Semaphore Flag Certificates and three Second Class. Signallers attended at all field firing practices and also all Field Operations and exercises.\n\nXII Mounted Section\n\nDuring the year, a Mounted Section was formed. This Section now consists of 1 Officer (2nd Lieut. Moxon), 1 Sergeant, 1 Corporal, and 21 Privates, 9 of the latter being members of the H.K.V.C. Parade Parades have usually been held twice weekly under the instruction of Staff Sergeant Talbot and latterly Master Gummer Pinder. Rides have taken place both on the Island and mainland with a view to the men getting a knowledge of the country. The Section was detailed for patrol work on the mainland on the 15th December on mobilization of the regular forces. The Section was quartered at Fanling in the New Territories from the 17th to the 25th March 1917 at the residence of Mr. P. W. Goldring, kindly lent by him for the occasion. Food &c. being provided by an anonymous donor. Most of the members were unable to attend for the whole period, but a considerable amount of useful work was done during the week-ends in patrolling and gaining a knowledge of the country. A separate report regarding this has already been forwarded to the General Officer Commanding.\n\nhight members\n\nIII Motor Cyclists\n\nMembers who possess motor cycles have been trained in", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468182, "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": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "page_number": 486, "title": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "content_text": "# No. 10.\n\nBritish Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1914.\n\nDECLARATION OF ALIENAGE.\n\nI, JOSÉ FRANCISCO RODRIGUES of Hongkong, being a person who, by reason of my having been born within His Majesty's Dominions and allegiance, am a natural born British subject, but who at my birth became under the law of Portugal a subject also of that State, and am still such a subject, and of full age and not under disability, do hereby renounce my nationality as a British subject.\n\n(Sd.)

After reconsidering the whole situation the Committee are of opinion that further six British vessels might be withdrawn from these routes to meet urgent national requirements without dangerously affecting the vital requirements of the Colony. They appreciate that additional urgent demands for tonnage may arise, and recommend that opportunity be provided in that event for reconsideration of the tonnage position before further ships are withdrawn, as by that time the effect of recent withdrawals will be better known.\n\nThere is no question but that the recent requisitioning of both local and ocean tonnage is causing the Colony to suffer a considerable diminution of trade, as is instanced by merchants making urgent representations to the Chamber of Commerce on the subject. In this connection we think it necessary to point out that besides the 50% of British local tonnage already requisitioned, the bulk of British ocean tonnage trading with the United Kingdom and the Atlantic Coast of America has been withdrawn, heavily reducing the means of imports and exports for trade and industries. Further, the whole of the Blue Funnel Pacific Ocean tonnage, trading between Hongkong and Canada and the Western Coast of U.S.A. and representing over a year the import of 68,698 tons and export of 40,725 tons has been withdrawn. This greatly affects the supplies of timber, steel, and many commodities for industries including shipbuilding and shiprepairing in the Colony, and restricts the export trade not only from Hongkong but also from India, Colombo & the Straits.\n\nWe have &c.,\n\n(sd.)\n\nG.

For\n\ninstance, the Wing On (China) Company, Limited, has resident here\n\nthe two officers who alone can affix the Company's seal which is\n\nkept here: it is hard to suppose any better proof of substantial\n\ncontrol over such a company.\n\nThe amended Order-in-Council was no sooner promulgated\n\nthan attempts were made to evade it.

On Saturday a luncheon was given at the Kam Ling Restaurant, West Point, in honour of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, and the affair was carried out with great success. About 180 gentlemen were present, including over 30 guests. The approach to the restaurant was most elaborately decorated in the Chinese manner, and the dining-room was a mass of beautiful flowers. Festoons added to the brightness of the room.\n\nFlags were used in the decoration. A large crowd had gathered in the streets to witness the arrival of the Royal party at about 12:30. The Duke, who was accompanied by H.E. the Governor, was received by Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. Tso, and other prominent members of the Chinese community. A number of Chinese gentlemen had the honour of being introduced to His Royal Highness, who shook hands with them and exchanged a few words of greeting. Lunch was then served immediately, and included the usual choice dishes offered on such occasions—birds' nest soup, turtle, shark fins, etc. There were no speeches, but the toast of \"The King\" was duly honoured. The Duke and party left at about 1:45, His Royal Highness thanking his Chinese friends for their hospitality.\n\nOther guests at the luncheon included members of the Prince's suite, the Governor's staff, Capt. Arbuthnot, of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, and representatives of the leading business houses.\n\nThe following were among those present:\n| Name | Company/Organization |\n| --- | --- |\n| F.

One likes to think of sunshine and blue clouds for such occasions—but it may well be that Prince Henry may be remembered as \"the King's son who brought the rain in time of famine.\"\n\nThe day's events were luncheon at West Point as the guest of the Chinese community; participation in four races at the Jockey Club's fourth extra meeting, Happy Valley, and then the ceremonious leave taking. His Royal Highness, though he did not win any of the events at Happy Valley, proved again that he is a very fine horseman, and few indeed have done so well at their first attempt on the course with a China pony. A full account of the races appears elsewhere.\n\n### DEPARTING FORMALITIES\n\n#### SCENE AT QUEEN'S PIER\n\nPractically the same formalities, only in different order, were observed at His Royal Highness's departure as at his arrival. Accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, the Royal visitor, who wore the tropical uniform of the 10th Hussars, arrived by car followed by three cars containing other members of the staff. They were preceded as usual by members of the police flying squad.\n\nIn front of the pier the guard of honour was provided by 3/15 Punjabis Regiment, the band and pipe and drum band of the battalion also being present.\n\nOn the pier, as at the landing, were the members of the Legislative Council, a number of Senior Naval, Military, and Air Force Officers, including Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell and Major-General Sandilands, and prominent members of the Chinese community.\n\nAfter the National Anthem had been played and the Royal Salute given, Prince Henry and His Excellency inspected the Guard.\n\nPage 66\n\nF.
