The Secretary,
Admiralty .Whitehall,
London, S.W.
Sir,
A dmirulty,
30th May 190. 1.
With reference to your letter of the 17th
instant, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty to acquaint you for the information of the
Secretary of State for India in Council that they concur
in the terms of the telegram which he proposes to address
to the Government of India respecting the recent military
operations on the Persian Coast in connection with the
suppression of the arms traffic.
My Lords consider that the operations undertaken
by the Commander-in-Chief were well calculated to produce
the maximum effect at a minimum cost, and that if he had
confined his operations strictly to the neighbourhood of
the coast the cost of the expedition would have been to a
great extent wasted.
Under Secretary of State,
INDIA OFFICE
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.

L.P.—No. 8.
