Sir: I have the honor to inclose herewith tile answer of the Tsung-li yamên to my communication, of which a translation was sent you in my dispatch No. 299, of February 8, 1887. I therein urged the removal of the Woosung Bar.
It will be seen that the yamên has pressed on the local authorities the necessity of doing this work.
I have, etc.,
Charles Denby.
