Ko No. 111 / Report concerning the matter of erecting territorial markers with the Prefecture's jurisdictional area on Kuba and Uotsuri Islands

Concerning the matter of the uninhabited islands, Kuba and Uotsuri Islands, located in the northwest of the Yaeyama Islands in this Prefecture, wishing to erect markers designating the area of jurisdiction of this Prefecture following the example of Daito Island, I made a report to this effect on November 5th, 1885, by No. 384, whereupon on December 5th of the same year, I received an instruction that there was no need to erect them at that time. Recently, however, people are coming to the islands to attempt fishery and other pursuits, and because these not infrequently involve legal control, I would like to erect markers of this Prefecture's jurisdiction, as I reported in detail back in 1885. I therefore urgently request your guidance, and hereby once again make report to that effect, attaching copies of the former report and your instruction.
