in my iast telegram sent oyer letters just received from the Khan of Borasiun
and Sheikh Jafar for my perusal. Giving the same news substantially as
in your above-mentioned telegram, except that they say all over Persia British
subjects have been arrested. Sheikh Jafar strongly advised Darya Beg to clear
out forthwith or take the consequence (in this connection please see my tele-
giam of the 10th November, 699). I called on His Excellency and had a talk
with him on the subject. He said hej did not believe the story. He seemed
considerably exercised about the matter nevertheless. I told him similar reports
have reached Tehran but that Persian Government had denied their truth.
Also that similar stories had got about before, which had proved false on
enquiry. His Excellency seemed re-assured somewhat and said he would
be guided by my (advice ?) and await more definite news ; I think he will
do so.
Sent to Foreign, Basrah, addressed to Tehran.
