The Consul at Amoy (MacVitty) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 24—10:10 a.m.]
My September 19, noon [midnight].33 The Municipal Council on September 22 formally approved a reply to the Japanese Consul General’s letter, accepting a Japanese inspector general of police and containing detailed proposals for a full settlement of the Kulangsu question. The Japanese Consul General informally told Benninghoff last night that he believed the negotiations which would open in a few days would be successful, as only a few relatively minor points seemed to require discussion. He will have to submit the full text of the agreement to the Foreign Office for approval.
