Apparently he has never heard of Peru, which also is a sort of half sister country to ancient Lusitania. What can be sald has been said over and over again on this subject; but there is a great deal that will bear repeating with advantage, and as soon as the proper time comes the Hongkong Telegraph will deal with it fully on its actual merits.
