I have the honour to state that the following appeared in "The West Coast Leader" dated 31st October 1914, published in Lima, Peru :- "Mr Lyman J. Mowry, representative in Mexico of the Eng Hok Fong Steamship Company, of Hong Kong, was a visitor in Lima during the past week, having arrived at Callao on board the "Mexico City", from Portland, Ore. Mr Nowry visited the West Coast to look over the business situation and left by the "Mexico City" to-day. The German Steamer "Marie" now in Callao, and which served as a coaling ship of the "Leipzig" was originally chartered by the Eng Hok Fong Company to take a cargo of coal from China to Mexico, and was on her way with this cargo when war broke out. A few days before she was due to arrive at port, Mr Mowry received a cable from the Company's main office in Hong Zong stating that the German Government had purchased, and paid for the entire cargo. Later it developed that this cargo was transhipped to the "Leipzig" on the high With reference to the above, I have the honour to point out that the Eng Hok Fong Steamship Company is given as "of Hong Kong" and that the Managing Owner's address is given in Lloyd's Register as Hong Kong. The German Steamer "Marie" was in company with the "Leipzig" for some time, and was one of the two colliers at Gallapagos Islands on 23rd September with that cruiser. In addition tothe cargo of coal referred to above, the "Marie' also received a cargo of coal ex S.3. "Mazatlan' at Guaymas and this coal was also delivered to "Leipzig" The "lagatlan" was originally a German Steamer (name not known) and transferred since the war to Mexican owners. The "Marie" was subsequently interned by the Feruvian Authorities on arriving at Callao with the crew of the the "Bankfields" captured and sunk by "Leipzig". I have not yet been able to trace the "Mexico City". 3. If not already done, it is desirable that the dealings of the Eng Hok Fong Company should be enquired 4.

REG 2 MARTE Confidential. Admiralty, 1st March, With reference to your letter 6503/1915 of the 16th ultimo, relative to the proposed measures for prevent- ing the supply of coal to enemy cruisers from the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that they appreciate the difficulties mentioned in the Colonial Office letter of the 3rd ultimo to the Foreign Office. Their Lordships, however, consider American competition to be of no great account in view of the great distance involved combined and the high freights prevailing at the present time, with the difficulty in securing tonnage. Further, the Japanese Government have shown themselves extremely willing to meet the view of the Foreign Office in this matter so that no difficulty need be anticipated from them in the event of it being found necessary to carry the threat of prohibition into execution. I am to inform you that experience in South America has shown that the only effective method of preventing enemy cruisers from receiving coal from neutral countries is for neutral Governments to prohibit the export of all coal except bunker coal. Unless neutral Governments take such preventive measures it is not seen how they can prevent their territory The Under Secretary of State, Colonial L.P.-No. 8. from becoming a base of supply for the armed forces of the In the opinion of Their Lordships such prohibition by a neutral can only be reasonably expected from neutral countries, which under normal peace conditions do not export coal, and whose legitimate interests do not become involved. In such cases, however, Their Lordships consider that such a step is perfectly proper and legitimate. In consequence of this view being adopted by the South American States the condition of the South Atlantic and East Pacific is now satisfactory. A parallel condition does not, unfortunately, exist in the Tast Indies where the presence of large stocks of coal and of a large number of German ships lying idle afford an assured base of supply to enemy cruisers unless some similar action to that adopted by the South American States is put into force in this zone. Their Lordships are desirous of removing this potential menace to the trade of the British Empire and of Japan and in order to effect this they are desirous that the Governments of the United States and of Holland should be approached with a view to acquainting them with the danger of the present position and suggesting that it may, at any time, become necessary to prohibit the export of British coal to such countries as do not prohibit effectively the re-export. I am further to add that prohibition of export to particular consignees is already in force, but that Their Lord- ships consider that it cannot properly be used as a means of obtaining obtaining a satisfactory reply.

In these circumstances, the Local Naval Authorities at Hong Kong consider, and My Lords concur, that there is no longer any justification for claiming contribution from the Colonial Government in respect of the Peak station. It is, of course, to be understood that the contribution from the Colonial Governmont in respect of the maintenance of the Cape d'Aguilar wireless station is not in question, e Secretary, H.1.Treasury, This will be paid as montioned in paraʼraph 6c of the Admiralty Letter quoted. 5.- Further, it appears that it has not been possible to dispense with the Kaval Visual Station at d'Aguilar in completion of the W/T.Station, and that consequently it is not desired to retransfor the site to the Colonial Government as was contemplated in 1914. It will, therefore, be necessary to continue the nominal rent of 1 in respect of this site. I am accordingly to request that Their Lordships of the Treasury will assent to the cessation of the whole contribution of $2,000 as from the 1st January next, and to the continuance of the rent of 1 in respect of the d'Aguilar Visual Station.

Proposed reorganisat ion of Government Telephone System, Hong Kong. With reference to your letter of the 9th November, we beg to inform you that we have gone carefully through the proposals contained in the report of the Director of Public Works and illustrated in the plane and statements furnished therewith, and we now beg to submit the following report on the matter. 2. The drawbacks of the present syster, as set forth by the Director, are such that a reorganisation of the syst ex is obviously necessary and without fuller information as to the underlying causes of the in- efficiency of the system, referred to by the Director as being due to faulty operating, dual control, and difficulty in hearing owing to indust ion and defects p the aerial wires, we consider the proposed new system one that will with minor modifications satisfactorily meet the requirements of the Government. We may state, "However, that on a well organised ТРАМИА ИЗО YEHAVEHINTZSW JJENZ A WZORAD,3932~~ LASERIOkā DartuUENOS SEJARAH MAILLON-PRE LIBRA WYDAWİLLA organised telephone system it is the general practice for a group of offices under a particular administration to be connected to a small switchboard situated in a con- venient place in the offices of the administrat ion, and with as many junction circuits as may be necessary between such exchange and the main exchange. The control of the whole system in this case rests with the main exchange, and proper supervision is thus ensured. On ⚫ public exchange small exchanges of this character are designated "Private Branch Exchanges". 4. From the papere sent to us we gather that under the present system the different Government Departments are equipped with small switchboards, but it is not clear how these exchanges inter-communicate, or whether they centre upon any central exchange. ossibly all exchanges are of about equal importance and inter-communicat ing lines have been provided, as required from time to time, without regard being given ota portanoe, as regarde aupervision and control, If arranging a system of junction circuits sent ring on dentral exchange. 5. With such a junction exchange, which could be combined with the most centrally situated existing exchange, it might be possible to retain the present overhead wires reorganised into a system of junction circuits, and we suggest this alternative method of reconstruct ing the system, for consideration. If, however, the continued employment of irhead wires is out of the question and if it is ible to reduce the number of operators to a b.inimum minimum and have them under supervisión, as redomr ended by the Director, we agree that underground cables should be laid down and that the proposed new system should be introduced. 7. With regard to this new system we have drawn up a complete llet with prices of the plant that will be required, a copy of which we now enclose marked "Z" for the information of the Colonial Government, in order that practically correct figures may be at hand on which to base future estimates and prepare indenta. In this list we have embodied the minor modifications referred to in paragraph (3) of this report, and the items are grouped under the same sect ional headings as in the statement marked "B" received from the Colony. We have marked the points, referred to in this list under the letters K to Z in red on the Colony's plan 8. The main features of difference between the Colony's list B and the list prepared by us are as follow:- (a) 10 lbs. conductors are substituted for 20 lbs. conductors in the underground cables as the circuits are all short. (b) A spare operator's headgear, and a spare hand set for use at slack periode, are included. (a) The protector cabinet and distributing frame are combined in one distribution and protector frame under item 4. This frame would take the full 350 pairs of wires in the leading-in cables, so that all wires would be joined up for easy cross-connection. (d) The 150 and 100 pairs enamel and cotton covered and lead sheathed cables under itama 14 and 15 are intended for use between the terminations of the dry core cables outside the Post Office, and the distribution frame in the switchboard room. This cable will be impregnated with beeswax so as to form an airtight seal to the dry core cable. The two cables would be jointed together in the "straight through" boxes included under asot ions C and D. An alternative method of leading in would be to carry the dry core cables right into the exchange TOOM, and there terminate them by means of a short length of this beeswaxed cable through an ordinary lead sleeve joint. If the building is suitably arranged this latter method is in our opinion the best, but if it is awkward to take the dry core cable into the exchange then the original scheme must be followed. (e) The G.P.0. detector is replaced with a test ing set, item 8, which would be useful for a variety of tests to both outside wires and switch- (f) On several sections the Colony includes both test boxes, and distributing boards for the full number of wires in the cable. As a principle a pole distributing box with lightning protectora which should be fitt ed is employed for die- tributing to open wires and a distribution board is not required. There a cable is carried under- ground into a building, as at No.5 police station, then a distribution case should be provided. (g) At the points M, N and 0. on section B it will not be necessary to provide pole boxes for 50 C4 pairs as suggested in statement B, as a few circuita only are distributed from each point. For these points we recommend pole boxes, with lightning protectors for 10 pairs, but even smaller boxes might be considered suitable. The 10 pairs cable under item 25 is intended for connecting these boxes with the main cable. There these wires are jointed to the main cables they should be tee'd on - without breaking the wires in the main cable so that all spare wires in the main cable will be available for connection at any pole box on the section. This method of connecting up the branch cables might be adopted generally on the system. (h) The pole distributing box in our list has a separate compartment in which the dry core cable is terminated. The open wires side of the box is fitted with vacuum tube lightning protectors, and 3-ampare fuses. This type of protector is better than the ordinary carbon protector, especially for use in a damp climate, because of its higher ineu- lation, due to all moisture being excluded from the line and earth points. Boxes fitted with carbon protectors and fuses would be cheaper and prices for these are given under items 78 to 78 in case they may be considered suitable for the climatic con- ditions. (1) Instead of the pothead splices and cast iron boxes shown separately under each section in the Colony's list, we have specified a cast iron box complete with lead sleeve 8o. This is supplied in both "straight through" and "T" form and is illus- trated by the drawings 30137A and 26905A. The number of straight through boxes required will depend upon the number of jointe which the local street con- ditions will necessitate, but it is thought that it will be possible to lay much longer lengthe than those contemplat ad. A statement of the manufacturers lengths in which the oables will be supplied is given at the foot of our list of plant. (k). From plan B.I. we assume that the 25 paire cable to the Harbour Office will be taken under- ground into the building, also at the New Law Courts. For these points we have, therefore, specified cable distribution cases. This applies also to the No.5 police station (which we observe is also the Central Fire Station), and at the Government Offices. (1). The 25 pairs lead covered cable specified under item 24 is for use between the dry core cables and the distribution cases. It will be impregnated with beeswax similarly to the cable referred to under sub-section (A) above, and pothead joints will not therefore be necessary. (a). The 100 paira cable through section C will have 35 pairs of wires in disuse at point R. Theae can be left terminated and sealed up in one of the branches branches of the lead sleeve branching joint at this point until they are required. (n). The manhole frames and oovere under items 79 and 80 are for the protection of the lead sleeve branching joints at R and T. provided the cast iron protecting box shown in drawing No.30138A is not preferred. Prices are given in our list for both pavement and roadway frames and covers in oase either or both may be required. (o). The lengths of cable and quantities of jointing boxes &c. in our list are only given as a guide to the cost. The actual lengths and quantities to be ordered should be determined on the spot. 9. Regarding sections D. J. H. and G. on plan E.II., we observe that to reach the point marked the route via the Government Offices and Albert Road is followed. Te suggest for consideration whether it would not meet requirementa, and be more economical, if a 50 pairs oable ware laid from the Post Office via Pedders Street and D'Aguilar Street to a point near the Central Police Station. From here to I a 25 pairs oable would perhaps be sufficient. In this case Section H would be dono away with and sections D and J modified to a 100 pairs, and a 25 paire cable respectively. At point T the 100 paire cable would be divided into a 50 pairs cable to section E, a 35 paira cable to point U and a 25 paira cable to point Z. 10. To provide the single connection at "Motor" on section G we suggest that it would be preferable to run an overhead line from either Y or X rather than break the cable at this point. In paragraph 8 of the Director's report both Telegraph and Fire Alarm systems are referred to, but no points are raised in regard to these which appear to oall for comment from us. We presume the Telegraph and Fire Alarm wires will be carried in the same cables as the Telephone wires, and to this there is no objection. To keep down inductive effects on the Telephone oircuits it is, however, advisable wherever possible to use a metallic circuit for each Telegraph and Fire Alarm line. To assume that the Telegraph earths at the far end of the cables shewn in sections G and F are for this purpose. 12. It is noted that in the event of the proposed scheme being adopted it is intended to fit up the ex- change and carry out sections C, D and J only at the outset. In this case special provision will have to be made for pole distributing boxes, for the overhead wirca which will run temporarily from points R.T. and Z. Neither of these 13.

With regard to the costs eat imat ed in statement B. for trenching and laying the cables, we regret we are unable to offer any comment as we are not in touch with the cost of labour at Hong Kong. Te think, however, the number of men's daya allowed on each section should be adequate provided the amount of pavement work to be done is not great.
