Telegram No. 275, dated and received the 14th December 1907.
From—C. M. Marling , Esq., His Britannic Majest/s Charge d^Affaires, Tehran,
To—The Secretary to the Government o£ India in the Foreign Department, Calcutta.
Abu Following sent to Foreign Office: JBegins—No. 379.
German Consul, Bushire, has sent his Dragoman witli a letter to Sheikh of
Shargah refusing to recognise the cancellation of the red oxide concession on
Abu Musa and threatening claim to heavy indemnity on behalf of Wonckhaus,
On November 6th, I was informed by German Minister of Wonckhaus'
complaint against the action of the Sheikh, and I gave him a memorandum
exp laining the facts of the case and pointing out that the contract of
Wonckhaus was invalid (see printed enclosures in your despatch No 134). On
November 18th, I was informed by him that he was awaiting report from his
Consul, and nothing further has since been received from the German Legation.
Kindly say whether I may inform German Charae d'Affaires that Sheikh
is precluded from entering into correspondence with any Government but
British, by Protectorate Treaty of 1892, and request that his Consul should
accordingly be instructed. Major Cox has been requested to tell the Sheikh
not to pay any attention to the letter from German Consul.
This move seems to be an ill-chosen attempt to dispute our position in
Gulf.
Full details are being sent by bag.— Ends.
Repeated to Viceroy's Camp.

- Extent and format
- 1 volume (281 folios)
- Arrangement
An index at the front of the file gives subjects covered by the file.
- Physical characteristics
This volume has three foliation sequences. The first begins with the first letter and runs from number 1 through to number 55. There follows a gap of one folio, and then a second foliation sequence starts on the verso The back of a sheet of paper or leaf, often abbreviated to 'v'. side of what would have been number 56 in the first foliation sequence. This sequence is inconsistent in that it is paginated from number 56 up to number 109, where it then lapses back into foliation and runs through to number 332, the last typescript folio. The third and most recent foliation sequence begins on the first typescript folio, which is loose. It runs from number 1 through to number 281, which is the inside of the back cover. It should be noted that folio 60 in this sequence is followed by folio 60 A, which is then followed by number 61. The first foliation sequence is written in blue and red crayon, in the top right corner of each folio. The second foliation sequence (which contains some pagination) is written in pencil, in the top right corner of each folio (and in the top left corner of the verso The back of a sheet of paper or leaf, often abbreviated to 'v'. side of those folios that are paginated). The third foliation sequence, which should be used for cataloguing, is written and circled in pencil, in the top right corner of each folio.
