In pursuance of your telegram September 7, 6 p.m. I have consulted with British Minister who advised me that he was without instructions in the matter but that he would telegraph his Government that by your direction I had approached him on the subject. I have addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs a separate protest against opium transaction in the sense of your telegram cited.
