Icarus:
Thanks a lot for your efforts in helping with this most difficult problem. I really appreciate your input and look forward to the eventual translation. If the code can be broken then we could apply it to many of the other coded telegrams that are located in the First HIstorical Archives in Beijing.
What you have decoded so far fits in with my thoughts that the two telegrams are of military significance as they were found with bundles of military messages written in Chinese script. China was in both political and military turmoil in 1910 and these telegrams may be of great interest to historians.
