| description | This 1901 diplomatic correspondence from the Consulate of Portugal in Canton documents a dispute concerning the seizure of a Portuguese-registered vessel by Chinese salt authorities. Dated 27 March and 19 April 1901, the dispatches detail events beginning on 23 January when the Governor of Macau informed the Portuguese consul of the confiscation of a boat carrying salt, flour, sugar, and other goods from Cha-kam to Macau by Chinese salt inspectors, who had taken the vessel to Canton. The consul immediately lodged a formal protest with the Viceroy of Canton, demanding the return of the boat and its cargo. Subsequent discussions with officials revealed that the shipment constituted smuggling: although the export of salt was prohibited in China, the merchant involved had declared Cha-kam—a Chinese port, not French territory—as the origin, falsely claiming the cargo was bound for Canton under Portuguese flag protection before diverting to Macau. The consul discovered that Cha-kam was not part of French-controlled Kang Chawan, rendering the declaration invalid. Despite confirming the illicit nature of the operation, the Viceroy ordered the release of the vessel and cargo due to diplomatic goodwill, with his secretary remarking that only the bilateral relationship allowed for such leniency. The consul, initially unaware of the deception, requested the return be conducted without Chinese customs interference and that the vessel be towed to Macau by a Portuguese launch. Telegrams exchanged between the consul and the Governor of Macau confirm the vessel’s eventual arrival. This document provides insight into Sino-Portuguese colonial relations, customs enforcement, and maritime trade practices in early 20th-century South China. |

PORTUGUESE CONSULATE IN CANTON
No. 2
Seizure of a Vessel from Macau by Chinese Salt Inspection Authorities
Canton, 27 March 1901 [UNCERTAIN: possibly "1–5 Aug" or "1/5 Aug"]
Illustrious Sir,
I have the honour to inform Your Excellency as follows:
On 23 January last, I received a telegram from the Governor of Macau stating that a vessel laden with salt, flour, sugar, and other goods, which had departed from Cha-kam bound for Macau aboard a Portuguese boat, had been seized by a Chinese salt inspection patrol vessel and taken to Canton. I was therefore instructed to make a formal protest to the Viceroy.
I lodged the protest with the Viceroy on the following day. Subsequently, I held several conferences with the secretaries of both the Viceroy and the Salt Commissioner, who confirmed to me that the matter concerned an alleged case of smuggling, and that representations had also been made by the Governor of Macau.
{{PAGE:2}}
sense of illusion: the sampan, the cargo, and the vessel belonged to the salt merchant in Macau, who operated as follows: since the exportation of salt is prohibited in China, he would transport salt from Cha-kam, a Chinese port, declaring Canton as the destination—a practice permitted by law; however, the sampan, along with its cargo, would then proceed to Macau, evading customs inspection under the cover of the Portuguese flag. On this occasion, as the sampan had been seized, the salt merchant claimed at the Macau harbour captaincy that the vessels had departed from a French port, Cha-kam, bound for Macau; and since he presented the sampan’s bill of health certified by French authorities, the harbour master accepted this declaration, leading to the Governor-General issuing an order for the vessel’s restitution.
{{PAGE:3}}
However, I ascertained subsequently that Chakam had not yet been incorporated into the territory of the Republic at Kang Chawan, and that the cargo had therefore been shipped from one Chinese port to another Chinese port, Canton. Nevertheless, the Viceroy—since there had never been any conflict between us—issued orders for the boat and cargo to be restored, while at the same time dispatching his secretary to inform me verbally that this action should be regarded as favourable on our behalf. The secretary added: "If we were not such good friends, Your Excellency would have recovered neither the boat nor the cargo." At that time, however, I still believed I was defending a perfectly legitimate case, and I telegraphed to Mr.

Subsequently, several conferences took place, during which I became convinced that the harbour master and Mr.
