iftien you called here some weeks ago, we told you about
the enquiries which the Government of India were making in
regard to the movements and activities of Suieiman-ex-Baruni.
This individual reached LIuscat from the interior of
Oman on the 7th of karch. At his instigation the Sultan of
Muscat wired to the French Consul at Bombay for permission
for him to go to Tunis: this was refused. Baruni has now
asked the Khalifa Committee in Cairo to use their influence
to get permission for him to bnter Egypt. The Sultan is
anxious that he should leave Muscat as early as possible and
the Government of India have been asked to suggest a suitable
destination to which he can be sent. As he is, in theory at
any rate, an Italian subject, the Government of India wish to
know whether the Italian Government would allow him to return
to Tripoli.
This information as regards Baruni f s intentions bears out
that given in your memorandum of the B2nd January. Gould you
let me know as soon as you conveniently can what reply should
be sent to the Government of Indian
