| Summary: | This is a certified transcription of a diplomatic dispatch dated 1 June 1891, authored by Luigi Finalli, Portuguese Consul in Canton, addressed to the Portuguese Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The document details administrative tensions between Portuguese authorities in Macau and Chinese officials in Guangdong Province, with particular focus on the contested sovereignty over the islands of Taipa and Coloane, and the ongoing dispute concerning the destruction of Portuguese Catholic mission properties on Hainan Island in 1884. Key figures include Mandarin Liu, Prefect of Xiangshan; Shang-chi-ting, Viceroy of Liangguang; Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Guangdong; and António, Bishop of Macau. Locations referenced are Canton, Macau, Xiangshan, Hainan Island (including Qiongzhounfu, Giang-tô, Wang-fô, and Siang-tô), and the islands of Taipa and Coloane. The text records diplomatic correspondence, official complaints, financial accounts of missionary expenditures (over 3,000 patacas), archival references to treaty provisions, and contemporaneous reports of anti-Christian agitation, anti-European placards, and security concerns in Canton and Macau during mid-1891. It serves as a primary source for the study of Sino-Portuguese colonial relations, missionary activity, treaty enforcement, and late Qing administrative practice in South China. |
