4446. Your 3402, June 8, 4 p. m. Lord Robert Cecil, speaking for Sir Edward Grey, informs me that the passengers taken from the China are in Australia and that immediately on my presentation of the matter on June 9, he asked the Admiralty what arrangements had been made for their release and transportation. He seemed surprised, as I was, that they had not already been released. To-day he expresses the hope of a very early answer from the Admiralty.
