22nd November, 1913.

　SIR, I have the honour to report that by a decree No. 227 published in the official gazette of the 18th instant, and dated the same day, the customs tariff of the Province of Timor is modified as follows:-

　Article 1.-Fresh fruit, ice and live domestic animals for food, imported through the Timor Customs House :-To be free of duty.

Article 2.-The duty of $2.52 (say 10 shillings) on each picul of 62 kilogrammes of coffee exported is maintained.

　Article 3.--Wax, sandalwood, sandal-root, and all other products will henceforth pay an export duty of 10% ad valorem.

§1. The duty established by the Decree of September 20th, 1906, with regard to the export of minerals, will remain in force.

The preamble to the Decree explains the remission of the import duties (Article 1) as rendered expedient by the fact that the imports in question are free of duty in other Portuguese Colonial possessions. As regards Article 3 the object in view is to maintain the principle of substituting an ad valorem tax for the specific duty. Finally it is stated. that the agricultural and commercial development of the province has entailed heavier expenditure by the State in regard to the administrative services including the Customs.

I have, etc.,

An Act respecting Pelagic Sealing.

[Assented to 6th June, 1913.]

HIS Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of

Commons of Canada, enacts as follows :-

1. If any person uses any port within Canada for the purpose of equipping any ship intended to be used or employed in killing, taking or hunting seals in contravention of any order made by His Majesty The King in Council under the provisions of the Acts passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, known and cited as the "Seal Fisheries (North Pacific) Acts," 1895 and 1912, he shall be guilty of an offence and liable on indictment to a fine or to two years' imprisonment, or on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months with or without hard labour or to a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, and the ship and her equipment and everything on board thereof shall be liable to forfeiture to His Majesty.

2. If the Minister of Customs is satisfied that there is reasonable cause for believing that a ship has been or is being equipped contrary to this section, the Minister of Customs may authorise the seizure and detention of the ship. Where such an authority is given, any commissioned officer of His Majesty's Navy, or any officer of the Customs or of the Fisheries Protection Service or person em- ployed as such or any stipendiary magistrate on board of any cruiser or vessel belonging to or in the service of the Government of Canada and employed in the services of protecting the customs or fisheries may seize and detain the ship and bring her for adjudication before the Exchequer Court of Canada on its Admiralty side or before any superior court in the province in or near which the ship was seized, and the court may thereupon adjudge the ship with her tackle, apparel and furniture to be forfeited to His Majesty and make such order in the case as to the court seems just and may award to the officer bringing in the ship for adjudication such portion of the proceeds of the sale of the ship or any share therein as the court may see fit. Any such officer as in this subsection mentioned shall not be responsible either civilly or criminally to any person whomsoever in respect of any such seizure or detention as aforesaid notwithstanding that the ship has not been brought in for adjudication, or if so brought in is declared not liable to forfeiture if it is shown to the satisfaction of the court before which any trial relating to such ship or such seizure or detention is held that there were reasonable grounds for such seizure and detention, but if no such grounds are shown the court may award costs and damages to any party aggrieved and make such other order in the premises as the court thinks just.

3. For the purpose of this Act, "equipping" in relation to a ship shall include the furnishing of a ship with any tackle, apparel, furniture, provisions, munitions, fuel or stores or any other thing which is used in or about a ship for the purpose of fitting or adapting her for the sea or for killing, taking or hunting seals.

2. The importation into Canada is prohibited of skins of seals taken in con- travention of any such order as aforesaid and skins of seals identified as being of the species known as Callorhinus alascanus, Callorhinus ursinus and Callorhinus kurilensis, and belonging to the American, Russian and Japanese herds, except such as are taken under the authority of the respective Powers to which the breed- ing grounds of such herds belong and have been officially marked and certified as having been so taken, and any such skins if imported into Canada shall thereby Seizure and become forfeited to His Majesty and may be seized by any customs or fish forfeiture. officer and shall be destroyed or otherwise dealt with as the Minister of Custo

directs.

THE FOREIGN MARRIAGES ORDER IN COUNCIL, 1913.

AT THE COURT AT WINDSOR CASTLE,

THE 22ND DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1913. *

PRESENT,

THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY

EARL SPENCER

LORD STAMFORDHAM

LORD EMMOTT.

HEREAS by "The Foreign Marriage Act, 1892," His Majesty the King in Council

is authorized to make Regulations for the purposes therein specified :

And whereas the provisions of Section 1 of "The Rules Publication Act, 1893," have been complied with in respect of the Regulations hereinafter set forth:

　　　Now, therefore, His Majesty, by virtue and in exercise of the powers conferred by "The Foreign Marriage Act, 1892," or otherwise enabling Him in this behalf, is pleased, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:-

　　　1.-(1) Where a marriage according to the local law of a foreign country is valid by English law, then before the marriage is solemnized in that country under the Foreign Marriage Act the marriage officer must be satisfied either-

(a) That both the parties are British subjects; or

(b) If only one of the parties is a British subject, that the other is not a subject

or citizen of the country; or

(c) If one of the parties is a British subject and the other a subject or citizen of the country, that sufficient facilities do not exist for the solemnization of the marriage in the foreign country in accordance with the law of that country; or

(d) If the man about to be married is a British subject and the woman a subject or citizen of the country, that no objection will be taken by the authorities of the country to the solemnization of the marriage under the Foreign Marriage Act.

(2) If a marriage officer, by reason of anything in this article, refuses to solemnize or* allow to be solemnized in his presence the marriage of any person requiring such marriage to be solemnized, that person shall have the same right of appeal to a Secretary of State as is given by section 5 of the Foreign Marriage Act.

2. In the case of any marriage under the Foreign Marriage Act, if it appears to the marriage officer that the woman about to be married is a British subject, and that the man is a foreigner, he must be satisfied-

(a) That the marriage will be recognized by the law of the country to which the

foreigner belongs; or

(b) That some other marriage ceremony, in addition to that under the Foreign Marriage Act, has taken place, or is about to take place, between the parties, and that such other ceremony is recognized by the law of the country to which the foreigner belongs; or

3. For the purpose of the Foreign Marriage Act and these Regulations, the house in which a British Ambassador resides in the foreign country to the Government of which he is accredited, or which is occupied by him in that country for the purposes of his embassy, shall be deemed to be the official house of such Ambassador, and is in these Regulations referred to as the embassy house, and every place within the precincts or curtilage of any such house, and any church or chapel annexed to such house, or for the time being used with the consent of the Government to which the Ambassador is accredited as the chapel thereof, shall be deemed to form part of the embassy house.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 27, 1914.

　　For the purpose of marriages in an embassy house, the expression "office," when used with respect to the place where any act or thing shall or may be done, shall be construed to refer to such part of the embassy house as the Ambassador may from time to time appoint as being sufficiently accessible to the public..

　　4. The person before and by whom a marriage under the Foreign Marriage Act may be solemnized and registered in an embassy house in a foreign country shall either be the Ambassador or any member of the diplomatic service not below the rank of secretary, who is attached to the embassy, and who is from time to time appointed for the purpose in writing by the Ambassador; and for the purpose of marriages solemnized in such embassy house, such Ambassador or member of the diplomatic service shall, without any marriage -warrant, be a marriage officer.

5. Where a marriage can be solemnized at a British consulate in a foreign country, the leave of the Ambassador shall be obtained before the marriage is solemnized in the embassy house in that country.

6. For the purpose of marriages to be solemnized by or before a consular officer who is a marriage officer, every place within the curtilage or precincts of the house in which such officer is for the time being resident, or of the building which is for the time being used for the purpose of his office, shall be part of the official house of such marriage officer, and every place to which the public have ordinary access in such official house shall be deemed to be part of the office of such marriage officer.

7.-(1) The modifications contained in articles 8 to 17 of these Regulations of the re- quirements of the Foreign Marriage Act as to residence and notice shall have effect in cases where both parties have not dwelt within the district of the marriage officer by or before whom the intended marriage is to be solemnized.

(2) Where the provisions of these Regulations as to residence and notice have been complied with, or where the permission of the Secretary of State has been given, the marriage may be solemnized under the said Act in the official house of a marriage officer.

8. Where one party only has resided for a period of not less than one week within the district of the marriage officer by or before whom the intended marriage is to be solemnized, notice shall be given by that party to such marriage officer. The notice shall state the particulars, and be in the form given in Form No. 1 of the Schedule to this Order.

9. If the non-resident party has dwelt in a place in the United Kingdom, notice shall be given by that party in like manner and on payment of the like fee as if that party were about to be married in that place, and in England or Ireland shall be given to the Superin- tendent Registrar or Registrar, and in Scotland shall be given by proclamation of banns; and the Superintendent Registrar or Registrar shall deal with the notice and give a certificate for marriage in like manner and on payment of the like fee as in the case of a marriage in his district and the Session Clerk of the parish in which the banns were proclaimed in Scotland shall, in like manner and on payment of the like fee as in the case of a marriage in his district, give a certificate of proclamation of such banns.

10. If the non-resident party has dwelt in any part of His Majesty's dominions outside the British Islands, notice shall be given by that party-

(a) In accordance with any law of that part of His Majesty's dominions or, in the case of India, of the Governor-General of India in Council, as the case may be, giving effect to these Regulations, or to any repealed or future Order in Council under the Foreign Marriage Act; or

(6) In like manner as if the party were about to be married in that place; and a certificate by a marriage registrar or other like officer, of the giving of such notice, shall be obtained by such party, subject always to the law in force permitting of such notice being given and to the said officer being empowered to issue such certificate.

　11. A law enacted by the Governor-General of India in Council or by the Parliament or Legislature of any part of His Majesty's dominions outside the British Islands other than British India shall be deemed to give effect to these Regulations or to any repealed or future Order in Council under the Foreign Marriage Act if it makes provision (in whatever terms expressed) as follows:-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 27, 1914.

(1) That a notice of a marriage intended to be solemnized under the Foreign Marriage Act may be given by one of the parties intending such marriage who has had his or her usual place of abode for a period of not less than one week immediately preceding in some place in India or in such part of His Majesty's dominions (as the case may be) to such marriage registrar or other officer as may be designated by the law in this behalf

No. 89. The following particulars of a fraud commonly known as the "Spanish Swindle" and practised by a gang of thieves in Spain, who are still endeavouring to victimise residents in the British Colonies, are published for general information :-

"This time-honoured fraud continues to be practised upon the unwary by a gang of ingenious swindlers established in Madrid and other Spanish towns. Assisted by accomplices in England they single out their victims and extract money from them by means of a letter which is generally to the following effect :

A Spanish prisoner who is dying in a military prison desires to provide for his only daughter. He possesses a large fortune secreted somewhere, and offers to transfer it to his correspondent if the latter will maintain and educate the child. Certain obligations, however, must first be discharged, and for this purpose about £100 is to be forwarded in bank-notes to a given address where the prison chaplain will receive the sum and escort the girl to England. The fortune will then be handed over. The story is usually supported by forged documents and newspaper cuttings.'

Persons receiving such letters would do well to communicate with His Majesty's Embassy in Madrid.

CLAUD SEVERN,

　　　　We find that the S.S. Tai Shan Official Number 133,245 of Hongkong the master of which was ROBERT ALEXANDER BIRSS, certificate No. 024,435 of Dundee, as master, and the S.S. Tai Lee Official Number 133,248 of Hongkong the master of which was JAMES WILLOX, certificate No. 036,321 of Aberdeen, as master, left their respective wharves in Hongkong Harbour within five minutes of each other on the morning of 29th March, 1914, bound for Macao. That after passing the rock in Cheung Chau Channel, the Tai Lee overtook and passed the Tai Shan, in such a manner as to place both ships in danger of collision.

We are of opinion that the master of the Tai Lee passed dangerously close to the Tai Shan, and admonish him to be more careful in future.

They attacked the bridge, where the Master, Mate, Chief Engineer, and two armed Portuguese guards were entrenched behind iron and barbed wire grilles and loopholed bullet proof shields, who were able to repel the attack, after shooting several of their assailants, with loss on their side of one-the Chief Engineer-slightly wounded.

　　　The pirates then retreated below, and endeavoured to persuade some of the peaceful passengers to go up and call upon the Master to surrender and, upon their refusal to do so, shot them. They then deliberately set the ship on fire in two or three places. This was about 11 o'clock.

　　　In the meanwhile the Officers, in the intervals of fighting, fired distress signals- rockets, bombs, and coloured lights, which were seen and answered by the British Steamers Shun Lee, Shiu On, and Hoi Sang, which were on their way down the river, bound for Hongkong, and by the Chinese S.S. Wo Kwai, bound for Kong Mun. These four ships rendered all assistance in their power, and succeeded in rescuing some 165 persons by means of their boats.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MAY 8, 1914.

The flames spread rapidly, and the ship was shortly ablaze from stem to stern, the passengers, including pirates, and crew, juinping over-board: many, however, appear to have been unable to escape, and were burnt.

　　　The anchor was let go to bring the ship's head to wind, but the officers soon found the bows untenable, and had to jump also, the Master being the last to leave the ship. They were picked up, with the exception of the Mate, Mr. F. C. Evans, who was unable to secure a lifebelt, the fire having reached his cabin when he went to get one.

The ship was completely gutted, but was subsequently towed back to Hongkong, when the charred remains of 17 bodies were found on board, besides evidences of many more, almost totally consumed by the flames.

　　　We find that no blame attaches to any of the certificated officers, who took all possible steps to secure the safety of the ship, and conducted the defence of the bridge most gallantly. The means adopted for the protection of the bridge appear to have been most efficient.

　　　We are of opinion that the conduct of the Master of the British S.S. Lintan in failing to stand by the Tai On or to render her any assistance, requires further enquiry, as does that of the Master of the On Lee who similarly failed.

　　　We also wish to point out the irregularity, and very probable source of danger, of the practice, which seems to be universal on board vessels on this run, of carrying an unlimited number of passenger runners, cargo brokers, and live stock attendants, who pay no fare, and are commonly supposed to form an intelligence department for the pirates.

•

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MAY 15, 1914.

171

(b.) a post-mortem examination of the remains has been held by a Medical Officer appointed by the Governor under Section 6 of the Coroner's Abolition Ordinance, 1888, or under Section 17 Sub-section 5 of the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance, 1896, or by any two registered Medical Practitioners the name of one of whom at least appears in "the Medical Register" above described, and such Medical Officer or both of such Practitioners shall certify in the Form 3 in the Schedule that to the best of his or their knowledge and belief the death was not due to poison or to violence or to any illegal operation or to privation or to neglect;

13. The Regulations above referred to, save those prohibiting cremation except in a crematorium of the opening of which due notice has been given and prohibiting the cremation of the remains of a person who has left written direction to the contrary, do not apply to the cremation of the remains of a deceased person who has already been buried for not less than one year and in respect of which a licence to exhume has been granted under Section 91a of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinances, 1903. Such remains may be cremated subject to the conditions of the licence to exhume and any such cremation in which those conditions are not observed is to be deemed a contravention of these Regulations.

91. The sender of any registered article may obtain an acknowledgment of its delivery to the addressee by paying in advance at the time of posting a fee of 10 cents in addition to the postage and registration fee. The sender must enter in the form provided for the purpose both his own name and address and the name and address of the person to whom the packet is sent, and he must also affix to the form a stamp or stamps of the value of 10 cents in payment of the fee.

92. Letters shall be accepted for registration at the General Post Office, at the Kowloon, Sheung Wan (Western) and Sai Ying Pun District Offices, and any other District Offices established by the Governor.

93. Every article to be registered must be given to an officer or agent of the Post Office and a receipt obtained for it. It must bear the name and address of the sender on the lower left-hand corner of the face of the cover.

If contrary to this Regulation an article bearing the word "Registered" or any other word, phrase, or mark to the like effect, or a registration envelope intended by the sender to go forward as an ordinary letter, be dropped into a letter box it will if directed to any place at which delivery can be made by Hongkong or its Agencies be compulsorily registered and charged on delivery with a registration fee of 20 cents.

94. All registered letters or packets on being redirected must be taken back to the Registration Department to be dealt with as registered, and must not be dropped into a letter-box as ordinary letters or packets. If brought later than the day (Sundays and public holidays not being counted) after delivery, a fresh registration fee as well as fresh postage will be required.

95. The Postmaster General shall make good the value of such correspondence if lost while passing through the post, to the extent of 50 francs in certain cases, provided :-

(a.) That the sender duly observed all the conditions of registration.

(b.) That the correspondence was secured in a reasonably strong envelope. (c.) That application was made to the Postmaster General immediately the loss was discovered, and within a year at the most from the date of posting such correspondence.

(d.) That the Postmaster General is satisfied the loss occurred whilst the corre- spondence was in the custody of the Hongkong Postal Administration, that it was not caused by any fault on the part of the sender; by destruction by fire, or shipwreck; nor by the dishonesty or negligence of any person not in the employment of the Hongkong Post Office.

　　　96. No compensation shall be paid for mere damage to fragile articles such as portraits, watches, handsomely bound books, &c., which reach their destination, although in a broken or deteriorated condition, nor on account of alleged losses of the contents of registered covers which safely reached their destinations, nor on account of any article for which the addressee has signed a receipt. No claim for compensation will be admitted if made more than a year after the article was posted.

　　　97. The Post Office will decline all responsibility for unregistered letters containing bank notes, or jewellery, and where registration has been neglected will make no enquiries into alleged losses of such letters.

　　　98. Enquiry as to the disposal of a registered article shall be made free of charge when the sender produces primâ facie evidence that it has failed to reach the addressee. When, however, no such evidence is produced, a fee of 10 cents for an acknowledgment of delivery shall be required before enquiry is instituted. No fee shall be charged for enquiry when the sender has already paid for an acknowledgment of delivery.

　　　99. Officers employed in the Registration Department are forbidden to address registered mail matter, to enclose it in the envelope, seal it or affix the stamps.

99a. The Postmaster General shall detain and if necessary return to the sender all registered correspondence, parcels and other articles deliverable on a receipt which he is unable to deliver owing to failure on the part of the addressee to establish his identity to the satisfaction of the Postmaster General in accordance with the following Rules:-

182

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MAY 22, 1914.

(a.) The signature of the addressee shall be accepted by the Postmaster General and delivery affected thereon if he is satisfied that it sufficiently establishes the addressee's identity, but any further proof of identity or any guarantee such as a chop of a firm of standing known to the Postmaster General required by the Postmaster General shall be produced if necessary to his satisfaction.

(b.) A Register of Signatures shall be kept at the General Post Office where any person may register his signature on payment of a fee of $10 per annum when personal delivery will be made on such signature at the General Post Office.

3. In the year 1913 how many Military women and children were cared for in the Government Hospitals, and what fees did the Government receive in respect of such cases?

212

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JUNE 19, 1914.

Now it is hereby resolved that the importation into the Colony of any kind of raw opium except (a) Indian opium covered by export permits from the Govern- ment of India to the effect that it has been declared for shipment to or consumption in China, and (b) Persian opium is illegal and it is further hereby resolved that a notification shall be made in the next issue of the Gazette to this effect and it is also hereby resolved that Notification No. 70 published in the Gazette of the 2nd March, 1914, be rescinded.

The Attorney General seconded.

Question-put and agreed to.

QUESTIONS. Mr. POLLOCK, pursuant to notice, asked the following Questions:

1. Did His Excellency the Officer then administering the Government forward to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies the proposal which was made by the Honourable member for the Chamber of Commerce in this Council, on the 23rd October last, for a Committee of Five Justices of the Peace" to go into the whole question as to the supply of nurses in the Govern- ment Hospitals, their pay, allowances, and all other kindred questions relating to the efficiency of this branch of our public service"? If so, what was the reply of the Secretary of State for the Colonies and when was it received?

2. Has the letter of the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, dated the 2nd July last, and addressed to the Principal Civil Medical Officer, setting forth on behalf of the Sisters reasons why they considered that their numbers should be increased by two, or has a copy of such letter ever been forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colonies? If so, when was it forwarded?

3. Was it impossible to obtain the sanction of the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the increase of two sisters in the Staff prior to the introduction of the Estimates for 1914 in this Council?

4. Were the two additional Probationers, decided upon by His Excellency the Gorernor on the 19th August last, introdured into the Estimates for 1914 with the previous sanction of the Secretary of State for the Colonies? If so, how was such sanction obtained and when? If not, has such sanction been since obtained and when?

5. In connection with the answer to my third Question at the last Meeting of this Council, how many of such 208 cases were Military Women, and how many of such cases were Maternity cases? For about how many days, on the average, did each of such maternity cases remain in a Government Hospital,

in 1913?

6. What fees per diem are paid to the Government in respect of

(a) Military Women, and

(b) Military Children?

What items of expenditure, and to what amount, produce the result, which is alleged in the answer to my third Question at the last Meeting of this Council, namely, that, although $8,881.88 was received, in 1913, by the Government in fees on account of Military Women and Children, such fees leave no profit to the Government?

7. In connection with that part of the answer to my third Question at the last Meet- ing of this Council which sets forth the percentages of cases treated at the Maternity and Victoria Hospitals, will the Government state the actual numbers of cases dealt with at each of such Hospitals during each of the years 1908 to 1913 inclusive?

8. When was the nursing of plague-cases transferred from the Kennedy Town Hospital to the Government Civil Hospital? How many plague-cases were treated at the Government (ivil Hospital during the years 1912 and 1913 respectively? How many of such cases have been treated there during each month since the beginning of the present year? Are such plague-cases treated in an isolation ward or in the general ward?

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JUNE 19, 1914.

213

9. What is the "enlargement of Hospital", which is referred to in foot-note (15) on p. 59 of the White Book relating to the Estimates of Revenue and Expendi- ture for the year 1914, which, according to the statement in that foot-note, necessitated the appointment of two additional Probationers? Are there in fact now only two Probationers on the Government Nursing Staff out of seven who were provided for in the Estimates for 1914?

10. Were any, and, if so, how many Sisters on the Staff of the Government Civil Hospital taken ill during the course of last summer, and between what dates were they absent from their duties? Did not such absence from duty place extra work on the shoulders of the Sisters remaining on duty?

11. In connection with the intention of His Excellency the Governor (expressed at the last Meeting of this Council) to "recommend to the Secretary of State for the Colonies an increase of three Sisters as a temporary measure pending further investigation as to the disposition of the Staff", will the Government

state:-

(i.) Are such Sisters to be engaged from England or locally?

(i.) For how long are they to be engaged?

(iii.) When will the services of the one Nurse, who was stated by His Excellency, at the last Meeting of this Council, to have been already engaged as one of such three Sisters, be available to the Government? What examina- tions has she passed and what training has she had? Has any further nurse been engaged, in connection with such increase, since the last Meeting of this Council? If so, what examinations has she passed and what training has she had? Has the Secretary of State for the Colonies now sanctioned such increase?

The Colonial Secretary replied.

　　MOTION. Mr. POLLOCK requested permission not to proceed for the present with the following motion standing in his name:-

That the Government do lay upon the table of this Council the letter, under date of the 2nd July last, which was addressed by the Superintendent of the Govern- ment Civil Hospital to the Principal Civil Medical Officer setting forth on behalf of the Sisters reasons why they considered that their numbers should be increased by two.

His Excellency the Governor assented.

　　SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION BILL.-The Colonial Secretary moved the First reading of a Bill entitled An Ordinance to authorize the Appropriation of a Supplementary Sum of Six hundred and seventeen thousand seven hundred and eighty-three Dollars and one Cent, to defray the Charges of the Year 1913.

The Colonial Treasurer seconded.

　　OBSCENE PUBLICATIONS BILL.-The Attorney General addressed the Council and moved the Second reading of the Bill entitled An Ordinance for more effectually preventing the Publication of Obscene Books, Pictures, and other Articles.

The Colonial Secretary seconded.

Question-put and agreed to.

Bill read a second time.

DESPATCHES FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE.

No. 260.

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET,

2nd June, 1914.

SIR, With reference to my Circular despatch of the 8th of June, 1911, I have the honour to transinit to you copies of new Regulations respecting Foreign Orders and Medals which have recently received the King's approval.

2. These regulations, which supersede all those hitherto in force, are now divided into two separate codes :

4.-Applicable to persons in the service of the Crown.* B.-Applicable to persons not in the service of the Crown.

I have, &c.,

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

L. HARCOURT.

Regulations respecting Foreign Orders and Medals applicable to Persons

NOT in the Service of the Crown.

Orders.

1. Ir is the King's wish that no subject of His Majesty shall wear the Insignia of any Foreign Order without having previously obtained His Majesty's permission to do so, signified either:-

(a.) By Warrant under the Royal Sign-Manual, or

(b.) By private permission conveyed through His Majesty's Private Secretary.

2. Permission given by Warrant under the Royal Sign-Manual will enable the Insignia of the Foreign Order to be worn at all times and without any restriction.

Private permission will only enable the Insignia to be worn on the occasions specified in the terms of the letter from the King's Private Secretary conveying the Royal sanction.

3. The full and unrestricted permission by Warrant under the Royal Sign-Manual is designed to meet cases where the Decoration may be said to have been earned by some valuable service rendered to the Head of the State conferring it, or to the State itself. Ap- plication will be made to His Majesty for full permission by His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on behalf of any person who, not being at the time in the Service of the Crown, is either in the salaried employment of a Foreign State or has rendered valuable services within the period of two years immediately preceding the noti- fication of the Decoration to His Majesty's Government as prescribed under Rule 5.

The expression "valuable services" must be construed as meaning some service ren- dered to a Foreign Head of State or Government specifically, and must be indisputably valuable in the strict sense of the word. Though such services need not necessarily be gratuitous, as in the case of a person actually in the employ of a Foreign Government, they must be unconnected with any transaction of a commercial or financial character brought about in the ordinary course of business. The term "valuable services" does not therefore, as a general rule, apply to services connected with the fulfilment of Government or Muni- *Not published.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JULY 17, 1914.

243

cipal contracts, the financing of Government or Municipal loans. It also does not include Red Cross Services, presentation of objects of value to Public Museums and Institutions, pecuniary donations or endowments, personal performances, services in connection with Exhibitions and Industrial Congresses, services in the domain of art, literature, science, education, and agriculture, services rendered by British subjects in the capacity of honorary foreign Consular Officers.

4. Private or restricted permission is contemplated for Decorations which have been conferred in recognition of personal attention to the Head of a Foreign State or Member of a Reigning House, and which are therefore of a more or less complimentary character. Private permission is as a rule only given on exceptional occasions, when in the public interest and for political reasons it is deemed expedient that the acceptance of a Foreign Decoration should not be declined.

5. Both in the case of full and in that of private permission the matter will be sub- mitted to the King by His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

The desire of the Head of a Foreign State to confer upon a British subject the Insignia of an Order, or the fact that he has done so, must be notified to His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs either through the British Diplomatic Representative accredited to the Head of the Foreign State, or through the Diplomatic Representative of the latter at the Court of St. James. His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs shall be under no obligation to consider claims that are not brought to his notice through one of these channels.

6. When His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs shall have taken the King's pleasure on any such application, and shall have obtained His Majesty's permis- sion for the person in whose favour it has been made to wear the Insignia of a Foreign Order, he shall signify the same to His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, in order that he may cause a Warrant, if it be a case for the issue of a Warrant as defined in Rule 2, to be prepared for the Royal Sign-Manual.

When such Warrant shall have been signed by the King, a notification thereof shall be inserted in the Gazette, stating the service for which the Foreign Order has been conferred.

Persons in whose favour such Warrants are issued will be required to pay to His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department a stamp duty of 10s.

7. The Warrant signifying His Majesty's permission may, at the request and at the expense of the person who has obtained it, be registered in the College of Arms. Every such Warrant as aforesaid shall contain a clause providing that His Majesty's licence and permission does not authorise the assumption of any style, appellation, rank, precedence, or privilege appertaining to a Knight Bachelor of His Majesty's Realms.

8. When a British subject has received the Royal permission, full or private, to accept and wear the Decoration of a Foreign Order, he will not be allowed to accept the Decoration of a higher class of the same Order without His Majesty's approval. His Majesty will in such cases grant permission only if the promotion in the Order is conferred for fresh services which come within these Regulations.

G. These Regulations apply only to Orders of Chivalry. Decorations conferred by Private Societies and Decorations of a purely academic nature, and all Decorations not being Orders of Chivalry, may be accepted without His Majesty's permission, but must not be

worn.

Exception is made in the case of a few Foreign Orders, which, though not in strictness Orders of Chivalry, yet are of such a high distinction that, for the purpose of these Regula- tions, they are to be considered and treated as Orders of Chivalry.

10. Ladies are subject to the Regulations in all respects in the same manner as men.

Medals.

11. Medals which constitute a particular class of a Foreign Order are subject in all res- pects to the Regulations in the same manner as higher grades of the Order, except that per- mission to wear will be given by Letter and not by Royal Warrant.

12. Medals for saving or attempting to save life at sea or on land conferred on behalf of the Head or Government of a Foreign State may be accepted without His Majesty's special permission, and may be worn at Court.

244

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JULY 17, 1914.

13. Medals conferred by Private Societies or Institutions and Commemorative Medals may be accepted without permission, but none of these Medals can be worn.

14. The King's permission must be obtained for any other Medal to be worn. permission is needed to accept a Foreign Medal if it is not intended to be worn.

15. His Majesty will not grant permission to wear any Foreign War Medal if the per- son on whom it is to be or has been conferred was during the war acting in contravention of the Foreign Enlistment Act.

　And whereas by the first section of the Naval Reserve (Mobilization) Act, 1900, it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the King, in case of any such order and direction, to authorize the Admiralty to give, and when given, to revoke or vary, such directions as may seem necessary or proper for calling out all or any of the said Volunteers as the occasion may require:

And whereas the King has communicated to Parliament (or has declared in Council) and notified by Proclamation that owing to the state of public affairs and the demands upon his Naval Forces for the protection of the Empire, an occasion has arisen for ordering and directing as in the said first-mentioned Act is provided:

　It is hereby notified that the King has ordered and directed that the Royal Naval Reserves, or such part of them as the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty may direct, be called into actual service.

Whereas a state of war exists between His Majesty the King and Germany.

　　This Proclamation is issued to inform the inhabitants of Hongkong that His Majesty's navy will guard the Colony from an attack by the enemy in force, and that the present strength of the defences and garrison of the fortress make unlikely a raid by predatory cruisers.

　　All necessary measures to defeat such a raid are, however, being taken, and the Govern- ment trust that the confidence of the people will be shown by their proceeding with their ordinary business as in time of peace.

　　In the event of hostile vessels being sighted, three guns will be fired from the "Tamar" and the red British ensign will be hoisted on that vessel and at the masthead of the flagstaff on the Peak, and will be kept hoisted as long as the enemy is in sight.

　　While this signal remains hoisted the public should avoid collecting in thoroughfares and any other action likely to cause excitement or confusion.

On the retirement of the enemy the Colonial flag will be hoisted.

Further Proclamations will be issued as necessary from time to time.

The Board may declare any epidemic, endemic, contagious or infectious disease to exist in any district or districts, and may direct that in such district or districts or any portion thereof a special general cleansing and disinfection of the premises shall be carried out under the direction of any officer of the Sanitary Department and to the satisfaction of the Medical Officer of Health. Such cleansing and disinfection may include the removal or destruction or both of any lath and plaster or other hollow partition wall, or any partition, screen, panelling, wainscotting, skirting, stair-lining, ceiling or other similar structure or any fittings or any portion of such wall, structure or fitting, if in the opinion of the Medical Officer of Health such removal and destruction are necessary. Compensation for such removal or destruction shall be given by the Board unless it is proved on behalf of the Board that the wall, structure or fitting removed or destroyed had been unlawfully erected or maintained. Such compensation shall be calculated so as to cover the cost of making good the portions of the build- ing damaged by such removal, including the limewashing of any exposed surface and the rebuilding of any necessary wall in materials approved by the Board, but no compensation shall be payable for any loss of rent or deterioration in the value of the property occasioned or alleged to be occasioned by the operation of these By-laws. In any case in which the amount claimed for compensation exceeds $250 an appeal shall lie from the decision of the Board as to the amount of the compensation to the Governor-in-Council whose decision thereon shall be final and conclusive provided however that no such appeal shall lie unless notice thereof shall have been given to the Clerk of Councils within fourteen days from the date upon which the appellant shall have been notified by the Board of any such decision as aforesaid.

The Board shall decide in each case whether the compensation, if any, is to be paid to the owner or to the occupier, and payment in accordance with the decision of the Board shall bar any further claim to compensation by owner or occupier, provided that nothing in these By-laws shall affect the rights of the owners or occupiers inter se as to the ultimate apportionment of any compensation awarded.

The provision of this By-law shall apply to the premises in any district in respect of which a special general cleansing and disinfection has been directed by the Board since the 31st day of March, 1912, or shall hereafter be directed.'

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S DEPARTMENT.

No. 362.-The following is published for general information :---

The attention of His Majesty's Government has been called to the fact that difficulties have arisen between shippers and shipowners in consequence of the wish of the latter to insert in Bills of Lading a clause to cover obligations which they undertake in many voyages to call at a port in the United Kingdom for information, instructions or advice before proceeding on the final stage of the voyage.

The following is the text of such a clause :-

"If and so long as the ship is insured against war risks with a War Risks Insurance "Association under or in connection with a War Risks Insurance Scheme of

"His Majesty's Government the ship, in addition to any liberties expressed or implied in this Bill of Lading, shall have the liberty to comply with "any orders or directions as to the departure, arrival, routes, ports of call, stoppages or otherwise howsoever given by His Majesty's Government or any department thereof or any person acting or purporting to act with "the authority of His Majesty or of His Majesty's Government or of any department thereof or by any committee or person having under the terms of the war risks insurance on the ship the right to give such orders or directions, and nothing done or not done by reason of any such orders. 66 or directions shall be deemed a deviation."

It is important that shippers should realise that the above requirements are for the security of the cargo equally with that of the ship, and are in no wise to the prejudice of the shippers' interests which are being safeguarded and not sacrificed.

　　Particulars of the war risks insurance scheme above referred to are not available here officially at present but are expected shortly.

No. 387. The following notice which appeared in the London Gazette on the 8th August, 1914, is published for general information.

9th October, 1914.

CLAUD SEVERN,

Colonial Secretary.

On the night of August 4th, 1914, the Secretary of State received the following notice from the German Ambassador :

"The Imperial Government will keep merchant vessels flying the British flag interned in German harbours, but will liberate them if the Imperial Government receive a counter undertaking from the British Government within forty-eight hours."

　　　　On August 5th a copy of the Order in Council issued on August 4th as to the treat- ment of enemy merchant vessels in British ports at the date of the outbreak of hostilities was communicated to the Ambassador of the United States in London, who was then in charge of German interests in this country, with a request that he would be so good as to cause enquiry to be made of the German Government as to whether the terms of Articles III to VIII of the Order in Council constituted an undertaking of the nature the German Government required, and under which they would liberate merchant vessels flying the British flag interned in German harbours.

　　　　On August 7th a communication was received from the United States Embassy that the United States Minister at Stockholm had sent the following telegram signed by the United States Ambassador at Berlin :-

　"Please state if England has issued enemy ships to leave British ports until Germany will issue corresponding orders. holm."

Proclamation that she gives permission to midnight, August 14th. If this is so, Reply through German Legation, Stock-

　　　　The United States Embassy added that they did not believe that this telegram was a reply to the message which had been transmitted to Berlin.

　　　　On enquiry at the United States Embassy shortly before midnight it was ascertained that no further communication had been received from Berlin.

The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has therefore no information as to the treat- ment accorded to British merchant ships and their cargoes in German ports, and has accordingly addressed the undermentioned notification to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury and to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.

FOREIGN OFFICE, S.W.,

MIDNIGHT, August 7th, 1914.

　　　　　MY LORDS, I have the honour to state that no information has reached me that the treatment accorded to British merchant ships and their cargoes which were in German ports at the date of the outbreak of hostilities or which subsequently entered them is not less favourable than that accorded to enemy merchant ships by Articles III to VIII of the Order in Council issued on the 4th day of August, 1914, with reference to enemy ships being in British ports at the outbreak of hostilities or subsequently entering them. Articles III to VIII of the said Order in Council will therefore not come into operation.

I have the honour to be,

My Lords,

Your Lordships' most obedient humble servant,

E. GREY.

That on the following day, the 8th October, Mr. SCOTT, having charge of the deck at 6.10 p.m., being under the influence of drink, altered course without the permission of the Master, with the result that the ship came into collision with the Fairway Bell Buoy at the entrance of the Yangtse River, and remained with her propellers foul of the buoy moor- ings for six hours.

Accordingly, all persons proposing to have any dealings with alien enemies with respect to their property should satisfy themselves that permission has been obtained for the transac- tion contemplated, as anyone entering into such a transaction for which no permission has been obtained will not only find that the transaction is void but will also render himself liable to fine and imprisonment.

　　　　SIR,-I have the honour to inform you that my attention has been directed to the yearly increasing demands which are being made on the Imperial Institute by private individuals and firms for reports on technical subjects and especially on the composition and value of raw materials.

　　　　2. In the past it has generally been impossible to accede to such requests for investiga- tions from private individuals and firms owing to the pressure of other work. At the same time the conduct of such investigations seems to me to be a legitimate function of the Insti- tute, and I have been given to understand that the demand for such reports would be consi- derably extended if it were known throughout His Majesty's Possessions that the Institute was prepared to undertake for individuals special reports of the kind indicated in paragraph 8 of the Earl of Elgin's Circular despatch of the 31st of July, 1906.

　　　3. The Institute, however, is now so completely occupied with the scientific, technical, and commercial researches demanded by the Agricultural, Mines, and other technical depart- ments of the Governments of those parts of His Majesty's dominions which contribute to its funds that it is impossible to undertake investigations on any considerable scale for private individuals and firms without adding to the technical staff, and therefore to the general expenses, of the Institute. But, having decided to meet what I believe to be a growing demand for such work, I am authorising the Imperial Institute to undertake in future for an appropriate fee researches, investigations, analyses, etc., required by private individuals and firms, either in this country or any of His Majesty's oversea dominions.

　　　4. It will be left to the authorities of the Institute to decide in the case of each applica- tion whether or no the request for researches, etc., is one with which the Imperial Institute can properly comply.

　　　5. Any reports which may be supplied under this arrangement will become the property of those who pay for them and will not be communicated either by the Imperial Institute or by any Government to other persons, or published without the consent of those concerned.

　　　6. As it is undesirable that the Imperial Institute should compete with the professional expert, I propose that only special investigations, etc., should be undertaken, i.e. on subjects of a technical character with which the Imperial Institute is exceptionally qualified to deal, especially those relating to the production and utilisation of materials which occur in the British Empire or which might be introduced into British countries and are considered likely to be of value to British commerce or trade.

7. It may be useful if I refer to some of the more important matters with which the Imperial Institute is in a special position to deal :-

(a) Investigations as to the value of new or little known raw materials for com-

mercial purposes.

(b) Chemical analyses, assays and valuations of raw materials, such as fibres, rub- bers, oil-seeds, waxes, food-stuffs, tanning materials, essential and fixed oils, gums, resins, drugs, tobaccos, soils, minerals, ores, waters, fuels, etc., etc. (c) The technical testing of rubber, timbers, cotton, fibres, cements, and other

materials.

(d) Identifications of vegetable and mineral substances.

8. I am informed that the Managing Committee are not prepared at present to suggest any actual scale of fees which could meet the variety of cases which are likely to occur. The fee must be arranged between the Institute and the individuals or firms who require investigations to be made. The matter will be in the hands of the Director, who will from time to time report to the Managing Committee the fee proposed in any special case in which this cannot be determined by ordinary practice.

　　　9. I believe that the adoption of the plan I have indicated will increase the usefulness of the Imperial Institute to the manufacturing and industrial communities of all countries of the Empire: and, as it will doubtless be of importance to the residents of the Colony/Pro- tectorate under your government. I shall be glad if you will take steps to make the arrange- ment I have sanctioned widely known, either by publishing this despatch in whole or part in the Official Gazette or in such other way as may seem to you to be most effective.

I have, &c.,

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S DEPARTMENT.

　　No. 422.-The following statement concerning relations with Turkey is published by direction of His Majesty's Government.

CLAUD SEVERN,

Colonial Secretary.

2nd November, 1914.

The attitude adopted by the Turkish Government in regard to the German Men-of-War Goeben and Breslau aroused great misgiving in London, Paris and St. Petersburg. These ships were flying from the French and British Fleets in the Mediterranean and took refuge in the Dardanelles where by the rules of international law and under Turkish treaties they should have been laid up by the Turkish Government and their crews detained until the close of the war, or made to leave for the open sea at the end of twenty-four hours.

462

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 2, 1914.

Instead the ships were allowed to remain in shelter and to exercise on a basis of bellige- rent rights, and then it was suddenly announced that they had been purchased by Turkey who retained the German crews and dismissed the British Admiral from his executive com- mand of the Turkish Fleet.

At the same time the passage of the Dardanelles was sown with mines and all British merchant vessels in those waters or coming through from the Black Sea were held up, first on the pretext that their cargoes were wanted for troops whom Turkey was mobilizing, and then that the presence of mines rendered it unsafe for the vessels to proceed. This was not only totally unjustifiable interference on the part of a neutral state with the trade of Great Britain involving both shippers and merchants in heavy loss but it paralysed the movements of all British shipping in the Black Sea, amounting at the time to sixty or seventy vessels, since not only was it impossible to get through into the Mediterranean, but there was nothing to prevent the Goeben and Breslau passing into the Black Sea and destroying all the ship- ping collected there. The Dardanelles have now been closed in defiance of international treaty.

Another reason for grave disquietude has been the unfriendly treatment by responsible Turkish officials in Bagdad and Mesopotamia of British subjects and the open incitement of the population by Turkish official circles against Great Britain and her allies.

Notwithstanding all this provocation His Majesty's Government intimated that if Turkish were substituted for German crews on the Goeben and Breslau, if British mer- chant shipping was not impeded, and if Turkey would honourably carry out the duties of a neutral state, all these illegalities and hostile acts would be overlooked, and a solemn and written guarantee would be given that Great Britain will scrupulously respect the inde- pendence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire.

Furthermore assurances were given that at the conclusion of peace Great Britain would see that no conditions were laid down which would impair that independence and integrity and that economic conditions of a character favourable to Turkey would be obtained.

In spite of these assurances the attitude of Turkey towards Great Britain became in- creasingly provocative. Evidence continued to reach His Majesty's Government of military preparations in Syria which could have no other purpose than to facilitate attack upon Egypt; and of active propaganda carried on by Turkish and German agents among Bedouin Arabs in regions adjoining the Egyptain frontier. Similar intrigues were set on foot else- where and reports were even received of the despatch of Turkish emissaries to India with a view to stirring up anti-British feeling among Indian Mahomedans.

Great Britain the greatest Mahomedan Power in the world and the faithful and con- sistent friend of Turkey, whom she has steadfastly helped to recover the stability shaken in the Balkan Wars, would see with the greatest regret that Turkey had been decoyed into ranging herself on the side of England's enemies, and adopting an attitude as unjustifiable as it would be ungrateful, but it cannot be denied that the present situation shows that there is a chauvinistic element endeavouring to drive Turkey into war with England for the benefit of Germany and of Austria, the secular enemy of the Turkish State.

A striking illustration of the extent to which intrigues have been carried on is furnished by the case of a German employé in the Alexandria City Police who lately returned from leave viâ Constantinople saying that he had been excused from military service. He was arrested on suspicion on landing, and on him were found a detailed map of the Suez Canal, a sheet of cypher messages concealed in his tarboosh, and other compromising correspondence. He had also entrusted to members of ships' companies two boxes of detonators for exploding dynamite and nitro-glycerine.

　　　　Further a steady stream of German officers and men both naval and military together with all kinds of war material has flowed unceasingly into Constantinople, which has been con- verted to all intents and purposes into a German military base. German officers are known to have penetrated far into the interior of the Turkish Empire in the endeavour to stir up agitation against Great Britain and her allies. All these movements, it is impossible to doubt, have been carried out with the direct connivance of the Ottoman Authorities and can point to only one conclusion.

•

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 2, 1914. 463

　　That this neutral power meant deliberately and intentionally to provoke Great Britain to war is shewn by instructions issued not later than October 18th to the Turkish com- mandant at Jaffa by the Turkish Minister of War, which already allude to His Majesty's Government as the enemy, give detailed orders as to resisting attack by warships and include an order to break the Consulate flagstaff and remove the insignia.

　　The Mosul Damascus Army Corps have since their mobilization been constantly send- ing troops South preparatory to an invasion of Egypt and the Suez Canal from Akaba and Gaza. A large body of Bedouin Arabs have been called out and armed to assist in this venture. Transport has been collected and the roads have been prepared up to the frontier of Egypt. Mines have been despatched to be laid in the Gulf of Akaba to protect the force from naval attack and the notorious Sheikh Aziz Shawish who has been so well-known as a fire-brand in raising Moslem feeling against Christians has published and disseminated through Syria and probably India an inflammatory document urging Mahomedans to rise against Great Britain. Doctor Prueller who was so long engaged in intrigues in Cairo against British occupation and is now attached to the German Embassy in Constantinople has been busily occupied in Syria trying to incite the people to take part in this conflict.

　　Aggressive action was certain to be the result of the activity of the numerous German officers employed in the Turkish Army and acting under the orders of the German Government who thus have succeeded in forcing the Advisers of the Sultan.

　　German intrigue cannot influence the loyalty to Great Britain of the 70,000,000 of Mahomedans in India and the feeling of the Mahomedan inhabitants of Egpyt or of the millions of Moslems in Africa and in Malaya and elsewhere under His Majesty's protection. They must look with detestation on misguided action under foreign influence at Constantino- ple which would inevitably lead to the disintegration of the Turkish Empire and which shows such forgetfulness of the many occasions on which Great Britain has shown friendship to Turkey. They must feel bitterly the degeneration of their co-religionists who can thus be dominated against their will by German influences and many of them realise that when Turkey is pushed into war by Germany they must dissociate themselves from a course of action that is so prejudicial to the position of Turkey itself.

　　The Turkish Government summarily and without notice on Friday shut off telegraphic communication with the British Embassy at Constantinople. This is no doubt the prelude to further acts of aggression on their part and the British Government must take whatever action is required to protect British interests, British territory and also Egypt from attacks that have been made and are threatened.

The grave situation which has arisen with Turkey involves no religious question and the Mohammedan Holy Places of Arabia as well as shrines in Mesopotamia will be immune from attack or molestation by the naval and military forces of Great Britain, France and Russia nor will any hostile action be taken against the port of Jeddah provided that the Government of Turkey does not interfere with the pilgrim traffic from the Dominions and Protectorates of His Majesty the King.

CLAUD SEVERN,

Colonial Secretary.

6th November, 1914.

With deep sorrow I find that the Turkish Government has joined hands with Germany. and acting under German orders is madly attempting to wage a most unprovoked war against such mighty Sovereigns as the King Emperor and the Tsar of Russia. This is not the true and free will of the Sultan but of German Officers and other non-Moslems who- have forced him to do their bidding. Germany and Austria have been no disinterested friends of Islam and while one took Bosnia the other has long been plotting to become the suzerain of Asia Minor and Mesopotamia including Kerbela Rejef and Bagdad. If Germany succeeds, which Heaven forbid, Turkey will become only a vassal of Germany and the Kaiser's resident will be the real ruler of Turkey and will control the holy cities. No Islamic interest was threatened in this war and our religion was not in peril. Nor was Turkey in peril for the British and Russian Empires and the French Republic had offered to solemnly guarantee Turkey all her territories in complete independence if she had remained at peace. Turkey was the trustee of Islam and the whole world was content to let her hold our holy cities in her keeping. Now that Turkey has so disastrously shewn herself a tool in German hands she has not only ruined herself but has lost her position as trustee of Islam and evil will overtake her. Turkey has been persuaded to draw the sword in an unholy cause from which she could be but ruined whatever else happened, and she will lose her position as a great nation for such mighty Sovereigns as the King Emperor and the Tsar can never be defeated. Thousands of Moslems are fighting for their Sovereign already and all men must see that Turkey has not gone to war for the cause of Islam or for the defence of her independence. Thus our only duty as Moslems now is to remain loyal faithful and obedient to our temporal and secular allegiance.

Vessels Detained or Captured by the French Naval Authorities.

With reference to the notices which appeared in the Supplementary London Gazette of the 12th instant and the London Gazette of the 22nd instant on this subject, His Majesty's Government have now received from the French Ambassador a copy of a notification which was published in the Journal Officiel of the 10th instant, and of which the following is a translation:-

All persons having any interest in cargoes other than enemy cargoes laden on enemy ships captured and brought into French ports, and requiring a release of such cargoes or portion of cargoes, should make inquiries of the Préfet Mari- time' of the district in which the ship is detained.

"The 'Préfet Maritime' will, through the intermediary of the 'Commissaire Chef du Service de la Solde' or his representative, require proof of ownership and particulars as to freight, whether paid or unpaid.

"In cases where the title of the subjects or citizens of the allied or neutral States is clear and established without doubt to the satisfaction of the 'Préfet Maritime," such cargoes or portions of cargoes will be released with as little delay as possible, provided that no question of contraband arises, and subject to the adjustment of any matters relating to freight or other charges falling on the cargo. In doubtful cases recourse to the ordinary Prize Court procedure will be

necessary.

With regard to cases which come before the French Prize Court established at Bordeaux (21 Rue Vauban), the French Ambassador states that the interested parties should present their claims to the Court through the intermediary of an Advocate of the Council of State.

13. No legal proceeding of any kind, except criminal Protection proceedings by way of indictment where such shall lie, of public shall be brought or be maintained by any person whatsoever against any public officer in respect of any direction or per- mission bonâ fide given or refused in execution or intended execution or enforcement or intended enforcement of the Principal Ordinance or of this Ordinance or of any power conferred by either of the said Ordinances, whether such permission have been or may be given or refused before or after the commencement of this Ordinance.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to fill up certain lacunæ in the express provisions of the Principal Ordinance in order the better to carry out its spirit and general intention, and to make the law clearer on certain points on which the con- struction of the Principal Ordinance might possibly give rise to some question. The main provisions of the Bill are as follows:-

It is expressly prohibited to pay any money, or part with any property, to or for the benefit of an alien enemy, or in any way to deal with any property for the benefit of an alien enemy.

It is expressly provided that the property over which the liquidator will have control shall include any property within.the Colony which may have been employed in or in connection with any branch of the alien enemy's trade out- side the Colony, e.g., goods belonging to the Canton branch of a firm established at Canton as well as in the Colony.

It is expressly provided that the appointment of a liqui- dator shall not affect any liability of a compradore or his sureties as existing immediately before such appointment.

It is provided that where a liquidator has been appointed no proceedings in bankruptcy may be brought against the alien enemy in question, and that no alien enemy shall be entitled to present a bankruptcy petition against himself.

The Principal Ordinance provided for the payment of the liquidators' expenses and remuneration in case of the insolvency of the alien enemy's trade or personal estate, but failed to provide for such payment in case of solvency. This omission is now rectified.

It is provided that where the trade which is being wound up is a branch of a trade carried on also outside the Colony, the liabilities to be discharged by the liquidator shall be confined to liabilities arising out of the transactions entered into by or on behalf of the Hongkong branch.

Power is given to the Governor to award a higher remuneration in any special case where the usual re- muneration of 21% shall appear to him inadequate. This, however, will not affect the position of secured creditors.

508

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 30, 1914.

It is made clear that the expenses of the liquidator shall include money advanced by him for the purpose of the winding up.

As it is essential for any winding up to be undertaken that the payment of the expenses and remuneration of the liquidator shall be certain, those payments are placed in case of insolvency in priority over the payment of secured creditors, and it is provided that secured creditors shall be liable to contribute to such expenses and remuneration in proportion to the value of their respective securities.

Express provision is made for the auditing of liquida- tors' accounts.

It is declared to be an offence against the Ordinance to refuse to hand over to a liquidator on demand any keys, account books, etc., relating to the trade or personal affairs of the alien enemy whose trade or personal affairs the [iquidator has been appointed to wind up.

It is provided that the prohibition against carrying on the trade of an alien enemy shall apply in the case of every trade, or part of a trade, carried on by any alien enemy at any time after the 31st December, 1913, unless the person carrying on such trade shall prove that it was assigned, parted with, or abandoned, by the alien enemy before the 5th August, 1914.

All the amendments are made retrospectively.

Provision is made for protecting public officers from actions in respect of permissions bonâ fide given or refused in execution of their powers under the Principal Ordinance or the amending Ordinance.

BOARD OF TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT.

INSURANCE AGAINST CAPTURE OF CARGO IN NEUTRAL VESSELS.

548

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DECEMBER 18,

1914.

The Board of Trade are advised that such contracts of insurance or re-insurance against the risk of capture or detention by Great Britain or her allies are prohibited by the law of England, and they think it necessary to warn British Insurance Companies and underwriters against undertaking such business.

BOARD OF TRADE,

17th October, 1914.

HARBOUR MASTER'S DEPARTMENT.

　　　　No. 512.-The following brief sailing directions for Deep Bay are published for general information :---

This

Pass Bluff Head, Wan Ha Point about 1 cable off, then steer N. 55° E. magnetic.

should bring the 1st Beacon right ahead. Keep this course passing No. 1 Beacon on either side. Pass No. 2 Beacon on Starboard hand. Then haul down, steering S. 40° E. magnetic to make No. 3 Red Beacon ahead. Keep a good look out for spit on port hand unmarked. When in the Channel haul up so as pass No. 3 and No. 4 Red Beacons close on the Starboard hand. Then haul right across to pass No. 5 Black on port hand and so on, keeping the marked Beacon on its own side. This will give the best water and the Beacons are grouped to bring you across to it. With any draft over five feet it is unadvis- able to attempt these Channels on a falling tide. In negotiating the Bar situated between No. 8 Red and No. 9 Black Beacons keep close to No. 8 then haul right across so as to pass alongside No. 9. This gives the deepest water.

SIR,-With reference to my Circular despatch of the 12th August last, I have the honour to transmit to you, for your information, the accompanying copies of an explanatory memorandum which has been issued by the War Risks Insurance Office with regard to cargo insurances only.

2. I also enclose copy of a letter from the Board of Trade indicating the current rates of insurance for cargo and ships under the Government War Risks Insurance Scheme.

CARGO INSURANCES ONLY.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDum.

As revised 25th August, 1914.

　　　1. The only risks which are covered by the Government War Risks Insurance Office are King's Enemy War Risks, in terms of Clause 2 in the policy, of which the following is a copy :-

"This insurance is only to cover the risks of capture, seizure and detainment by

the King's enemies and the consequences thereof, or any attempt thereat, and all consequences of hostilities or warlike operations by or against the King's enemies, whether before or after declaration of war."

　　　2. Cargo only is insured. The insurance is undertaken subject more particularly to the following conditions :-

(a.) That any cargo may be insured which is not enemy property, or goods the

transport of which is prohibited by proclamation or otherwise restricted ;

(b.) That the cargo is carried on a British steamer which is entered in one of the undermentioned War Risks Associations approved by the Government, and that a war risks policy has been taken out on the vessel covering the voyage in question under the Government Scheme for the re-insurance of hulls; and

(c.) That the voyage is not one which is prohibited by the Admiralty.

　　　3. It rests with the applicant to satisfy himself that the conditions mentioned in paragraph 2 are complied with; the warranties in the policy which deal with these and other points should be carefully considered.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DECEMBER 24, 1914.

4. The approved War Risks Associations above referred to are :-

555

(1.) The North of England Protecting and Indemnity Association, Collingwood

Buildings, Newcastle-on-Tyne.

(2.) The Liverpool and London War Risks Insurance Association, Limited, 10,

Water Street, Liverpool.

3.) The London group of War Risks Associations, 24, St. Mary Axe, E.C.

This group comprises the following:

Britannia Steam Ship Insurance Association, Limited; Tindall, Riley & Co. (Managers),

17, Gracechurch Street, E.C.

London Steam Ship Owners' Mutual Insurance Association, Limited; A. Bilbrough & Co.

(Managers), 23, Rood Lane, E.C.

Newcastle War Risks Indemnity Association, Limited; E. S. Scorfield & James Ferguson

(Managers), 4, Queen's Street, Newcastle-on-Tyne.

Standard Steamship Owners' Mutual War Risks Association, Limited; Charles Taylor & Co.

(Managers), 45, Fenchurch Avenue, E.C.

West of England Mutual War Risks Association, Limited; John Holman & Sons (Managers),

1, Lloyd's Avenue, E.C.

The great majority of British steamers are entered in one

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　are entered in one or other of these Associations.

　5. As a general rule, cargo carried on a vessel which has already sailed cannot be insured under the Government Scheme, but the War Risks Insurance Office is, notwith- standing, authorised to consider applications for the insurance of cargo on a vessel which has already sailed or can be warranted safe at a port of call or at some point on her voyage.

　6. The premium is charged at a flat rate irrespective of the voyage or of the character of the cargo insured. Any alteration in the rate will be announced in the Press.

7. If, for any reason which the Committee consider sufficient, the goods or any portion of them are not shipped by the vessel by which they were insured, the insurance effected may be cancelled so far as short interest is concerned.

　8. All applications for cancelment or return of premium must be made on the forms specially provided for that purpose. Such applications should be accompanied by a state- ment of reasons and supporting evidence, together with the stamped slip and policy.

In the case of claim for partial cancelment the marine policy should be produced. Where the application for cancelment or return is consequent on war risk insurance previously effected elsewhere, the slip and policy relating to the other insurance must be produced.

9. Cargo insured against King's Enemy War Risks under the Government Scheme must also be covered by approved marine insurance policies as defined in paragraph 10. These marine policies must be produced at the War Risks Insurance Office when required, in proof of values, but this will possibly not be necessary except in the event of a loss or claim. In the case of cargoes insured against marine risks by policies issued on or after the 5th August, 1914, the insurance will, in the absence of any special agreement otherwise, be deemed sufficient for the purposes of the Government Scheme, so long as not less than 70 per cent. of the value be covered under approved marine insurance policies. This rule does not apply to policies issued before the outbreak of war, so long as such policies shall afford sufficient proof of values.

10. Marine insurance policies will be accepted by the War Risks Insurance Office as evidence of values under the foregoing paragraph, if issued by Members of Lloyd's, British Insurance Companies, or other approved Underwriters or Insurance Companies, as

follows:-

(a.) All policies (whether enemy or other) issued previous to the outbreak of war, i.e., signed and dated prior to and including the 4th August, will be accepted; and

556

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DECEMBER 24, 1914.

(b.) All policies of recognised British or alien Companies or Underwriters (other than enemy) issued on or after the outbreak of war will be accepted. This does not authorise the acceptance of policies, whether British or alien, issued by trading or other firms not coming within the general scope of recognised Underwriting Associations.

　　　　Applicants for insurance of cargo under the Government Scheme, if in doubt as to the admissibility of their marine insurance policies under the foregoing rules, should, when submitting their proposals for insurance, produce the marine policies for consideration, and, in case of need, endorsement, if approved.

11. Where the insurance is described on the slip as amount insured only, and not to the insurance as a whole.

Provisional," this refers to the

The premium on the whole amount must in all cases be paid in the first instance, subject to any such refund as may be subsequently substantiated.

　　　　12. The Committee are prepared, in certain circumstances, to consider applications for the issue of open policies.

13. No interior or land risks are taken by the War Risks Insurance Office.

14. The brokerage to be deducted should be calculated at the rate of one shilling per guinea of premium. No discount is allowed.

　　　　15. It rests on applicants to see that the information and calculations appearing on the application slip shall be in all respects correct.

16. The referrence to (6

　　　　　　　　　　　　　stamp printed on the slip may be disregarded; the policy will be stamped by the Inland Revenue authorities without further charge.

　　　　17. Cheques must be made payable to the "War Risks Office," and crossed "Bank of England.'

　　　　18. Applicants desiring to retain at their own risk a portion of the war risk, insuring the remainder under the Government Scheme, may so retain up to, but not exceeding, 50 per cent. of the declared value, but with the reservation that whatever be the proportion so retained at the inception of the risk it shall be retained at the risk of the assured until its termination. In such cases the total value of the interest at risk must be declared on the application slip for insertion in the policy.

　　　　The foregoing does not preclude the assured from insuring with approved Underwriters or Insurance Companies any portion of the war risk not placed with the War Risks In- surance Office, provided that such insurance be effected not later than the insurance with the War Risks Insurance Office.

　　　　19. The value for the purpose of insurance against war risks must not exceed the value for insurance against sea risks.

　　　　20. The premium in force at the time the insurance was effected cannot, unless in the case provided for in Clause 1 of the policy, be afterwards reduced or increased.

　　　　21. Payment of admitted claims will be made promptly by cheque on the Bank of England.

22. Application slips for insurance must be filled up in duplicate, one copy to be marked "Duplicate " for retention by the War Risks Insurance Office.

The premium must be paid at the time the application is handed in.

23. Copies of this Memorandum, application slips for insurance, and specimen policies. are obtainable at the War Risks Insurance Office, where all applications for the insurance of cargo under the Government War Risks Insurance Scheme must be made personally by the applicant or his representative. Postal or telegraphic applications cannot be accepted.

Application slips can also be obtained at Lloyd's, or at the Institute of London Under- writers, 1, St. Michael's House, Cornhill, E.C.

MEMORANDUM AS TO TRANSMISSION OF MONEY AND

LETTERS ABROAD.

　　　The Foreign Office is unable to undertake any responsibility for the forwarding of money, letters, or messages to individual persons abroad.

　　　Payments of money to British subjects who are detained in an enemy country and unable to return to His Majesty's Dominions do not constitute an infringement of the Trading with the Enemy Proclamation, but it may be found necessary to forward such remittances through a neutral country.

　　　It is suggested that it may be found possible to forward the money through Messrs. Cook and Son or one of the principal banks.

　　　Private letters to Germany and Austria-Hungary through neutral countries are now allowed to be forwarded subject to the usual conditions of censorship. Letters cannot, however, be forwarded direct to Germany or Austria-Hungary. British subjects and others wishing to communicate with friends in enemy countries must forward their letters through an agency in a neutral country, and correspondents may select their own private agency. Letters should not, however, be sent through British or Foreign Embassies, Legations, or Consulates in neutral countries. Messrs. Cook and Son have, it is understood, expressed their willingness to arrange for the transmission of such letters, and applications for informa- tion as to the necessary stamps, &c., should be made to them.

Letters intended for transmission to enemy countries should be as brief as possible, should contain nothing but personal matter, and should, if possible, be written in the German language.

The address of Messrs. Cook and Son's head office is Ludgate Circus, E.C.

It should be noted that the Foreign Office, in making the above suggestions, cannot guarantee the safe delivery of either money or letters.
