The latest report received from His Majesty’s Legation at Peking on
the subject is dated October 26th last when Mr. Clive12 telegraphed that in accordance with his
instructions he was joining with his American colleague in making
representations to the Japanese Minister on the subject. At that
time the French Minister had not so far received his
instructions.
Earl Curzon is now telegraphing to Sir B. Alston13 informing
him of the action decided upon by the State Department and that the
instructions to American Consuls in China will take effect as from
January 15th.
