CONSULADO DE PORTUGAL EM CANTÃO N° 18. A [UNCLEAR: signature] Senhor Governador, Tendo a honra de informar a V. Exª que no dia 26 recebi o telegrama do Sr. Governador solicitando informações sobre a situação atual da missão católica em Macau, e tendo já respondido ao telegrama de 27, julgo mais conveniente referir aqui as respostas dadas anteriormente: No dia 28 que a Macau chegou um complemento de missionários, e ao mesmo tempo, satisfazendo o pedido Sr. Governador, que em telegrama de 24 me tinha feito, enviei-lhe uma cópia da carta pastoral do bispo de Macau dirigida aos seus paroquianos. Mais havendo inconveniente por parte do V. Exmº, solicito que me seja dado conhecer os motivos dessa objeção, para poder tomar as medidas necessárias. Cantão, [ILLEGIBLE: date].

A 15 de maio recebi meu telegrama do Senhor Sinian, recebi proclamação que sei como ordenar minha afirmação pelo informe dele. "Com esclarecimento não falhei convite ao senhor cristão Sinian, recebi proclamação que sei como ordenar minha afirmação pelo informe dele." "Com respeito à afirmação, da proclamação o que me parece mais simples, é a missão Nº. 84 ao missionário Sinian, e a proteção que neste momento não pode ser dada por qualquer ordem nesse sentido, o que seria inconveniente, por serem permissões emitidas em país estrangeiro, por o protetor se fazer tal distinção.

**Consulate of Portugal in Canton No. 18**
[Unclear: signature]
To His Excellency the Governor,
I have the honour of informing Your Excellency that on the 26th I received a telegram from the Governor requesting information regarding the current situation of the Catholic mission in Macau. Having already responded to the telegram dated the 27th, I consider it more appropriate to reiterate the previous responses here:
On the 28th, a reinforcement of missionaries arrived in Macau. At the same time, in compliance with the Governor's request made via telegram on the 24th, I sent him a copy of the pastoral letter issued by the Bishop of Macau to his parishioners.
Should there be any inconvenience arising from Your Excellency's side, I request that you inform me of the reasons for this objection so that I may take the necessary measures.
Canton, [Illegible: date].

On May 15th, I received a telegram from Mr. Sinian, in which he conveyed a proclamation that I understood to require my formal response based on the information provided. The telegram stated: "With regard to the invitation extended to the Christian gentleman Mr. Sinian, I have received a proclamation that I recognize as necessitating my official statement." Concerning the nature of this statement, it appears most straightforward to proceed with Mission No. 84, assigned to missionary Mr. Sinian. However, at this time, no formal protection can be granted in this matter, as such permissions would need to be issued by an authority in a foreign country, and the protector has declined to make such a distinction.

The document discusses the consequences that arose from the distribution of certain materials. It mentions secret, false, and misleading information, similar to that found in recent publications. The text no longer addresses those who speak about Christians in a derogatory manner, as it acknowledges the public's understanding and awareness.

Clandestinely among us, it was suggested that the time for allied action had arrived, and that it was necessary to exterminate foreigners. This sentiment had its origins in a distant past, rooted in certain cases where indigenous peoples declared foreigners as enemies. Indeed, the most fundamental order had been altered. Felipe Luiz da Silva, Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
