Khan and send Mujahid elsewhere. Latter says that he would never accept
Yazd or Kerman and asks for Sheikh’s good offices to receive him in

reply.
Sheikh guarantees Mujahid’s good faith and strongly urges that we
should help him. This is also Haji Rais’s advice. Though matter is outside
my province I venture to suggest that recent reports (M.’s ?) pro-German
tendencies go to show he is keeping in with both sides pending our °-ivi Q g

Telegram P., No. 194 (Urgent), dated (and received) the Hth October 1915.
From—His Britannic Majesty's Consul, Kerman,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Simla. ^
Telegram from Tehran has come for Governor-General signed by Nadjaf
Goli and All Goli saying that he should save his honour by resigning and
leaving Kerman as they know he is dismissed.
This has come at a juncture when, in disarming one of German followers,
who was breaking order (?) of police, against carrying arms in bazar, three
Bakhtiaris have been wounded.
The Governor-General and the leading citizens, I believe, are sending a
strongly worded telegram to Tehran about it and behaviour generally 5 of
Germans in Kerman.
If Governor-General is not supported by Persian Government they will be
sanctioning open defiance by Germans of their authority and will practically
hand over the town to Germans in which case it will not be possible for us to
remain here.
Addressed to His Britannic Majesty’s Minister at Tehran and repeated to
Major Trevor at Bushire.
