With reference zo Your Lordship's telegram
No .122 of the 1 st instant, suggesting that I should
urge the Ottoman Government to postpone the extension
of their telegraph line to Fat aha, I have the honour
to remark as follows:-
A request of this nature would certainly he

our intention to obtain possession of that place, and
it would affect the good result which I hope may be
had in regard to the delimitation of the whole Amiri
frontier, by telling them that we do not insist upon
any claims which we may have to Kataba.
Apart from this, I do not see the neces
sity of this request, or how it concerns one deli mi

A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
Titan or, even if it did, how I
