From—His Britannic Majesty's Consul, Kerman,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Simla.
There is nothing to report to-day on the political situation here.

Telegram P., No. 19 F., dated the 1st (received 2nd) September 1915.
From—His Britannic Majesty's Consul for Sistan and Kain,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Simla.
I am informed by llussian Vice-Consul that Cossacbs are stationed at
Tabas, Kain and Tun, but that he is not aware of their strength. The main
body is still at Turbat-i-Haidari, I suppose. Colonel Gushchin has declined to
send Cossacks to Khur.
Both Colonel Haig and myself have heard that in vicinity of Tabas two
or three Germans are lurking, who are still holding communication with west
and Afghanistan. I am informed that some of the Germans who joined
mission into Afghanistan came by Naiband route.
The road to Tabas from Naiband is quite open to Germans at present.
The road to Sistan from NaibaAd is via Garmab Sarichah (see map Volumes
one and four, “ Routes in Persia ”).
Colonel Hale has received orders from Colonel "VVikeley to advance to
Khusp from Neh. I shall meet Hale at Khusp.
In your opinion is it necessary that any special (arrangements ?) should
be made to cut German communication between Tabas and Naiband ? If
so, orders should be sent to Colonel Gushchin through Russian Legation at
Tehran to arrange with Colonel Hale. For their support of Germans I would
like to see Imad-ul-Mulk and his son Imad-ul-Mamalik receive severe punish
ment, but I do not know if it is possible to punish them with force which we
have at our disposal. It is not difficult, I understand, to block all roads leading
to the town of Naiband, although place itself cannot be reduced (without ?) a
field gun.
We ought also to put a stop to caravans taken supplies to Naiband from
Kainat. In regard to this can we ignore objections of local authorities?
Shaukat-ui-Mulk naively said to me 10 days ago that be was in correspondence
with Imad-ul-Mulk and that latter would certainly let him know about any
more German parties which might intend to enter Kainat region.
At the first sign of trouble all the Governor's sowars who accompanied
Mr. Hormer to Naiband disappeared and never came back to his assistance.
Addressed to British Minister at Tehran.

Addressed to Foreign Office; sent to India.
