Thurs May 5 [5 May 1898] Went to Kowloon after breakfast and rickshawed round. Back to hotel till 5 when we rode with Mr Whitehead along Kennedy Road, Polo Ground and by a road along the sea. Discussed the war - it seems the Americans want to sell the Philippines to us - and the Chinese question - partition he says. Nearly 8 when we got in. Dined and to bed.
