Brigadier-
2. I now enclose a copy of the reply received by me from
General Dyer. I do not know yet whether the Indo-European Telegraph
Department will insist on the charge of the line being entrusted to some other
petty Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. , but if they do, the feasibility of rewarding Ali Shah Khan (to
the latter’s satisfaction) in the event of his rendering good service as a News
Agent in the near future becomes rather remote.
3. I am sending a copy of this letter
Governor-General in Baluchistan.
to the Hon’ble the Agent to the
Enclosure.
Copy of a telegram from the General Officer Commanding, Sistan, Khwash, to His Britannie
Majesty's Consul, Sistan and Kain, No. 7 K.-W., dated the 10th (received at Sistan
15th) May 1916.
Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Khudadad Khan did very good service indeed, and quite deserved
the reward he received. Ali Shah was not well received by me, nor have I re
engaged him, but I told him to go away and try to redeem his character by
doing what he can to help my Intelligence Officer as his future will depend on
what he does. He receives no pay. I will be glad to make use of your News
Agent at Dehaneh Baghi, if he will place himself in touch with me at Khwash.

May I assume that my sphere of action runs from and including Talk
through Baxman and along the Jabal Bariz Bange to Bam inclusive. I have
consulted Colonel Orton on this matter and he agrees with me that this is the
true natural physical and ethnological boundary of my area and it should not
extend further south. Mirs Madat Khan and Lalla Khan of Jalk, together
with various other minor chiefs, are in Khwash, and Dervesh Khan has already
paid his respects and is helping much with information.
Addressed Baluchistan; repeated Chief General Staff, and Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. ,

I hear on fairly reliable information that Mir Ghulam Rasool of Sib has
lately written a letter to Bahram Khan, Bampur, saying that, as General Dyer
was building a fort in Khwash, what did Bahram Khan propose doing.
Bahram Khan replied that he was collecting forces and was going to Rindagan
and directed Ghulam Rasool to collect his forces and also go to Rindagan.
Bahram Khan also wrote to Nausherwan Khan of Dizak directing him to
collect his forces and also come to Rindagan. Can you give me any inform
ation bearing on this ?
