Wassmuss left Borasjun on May 30th in the direction of Ahram. On
31st May he reached Ahmedi one stage from here where he still is. As a
result no doubt of bis intrigues Zair Kbadar of Abram, principal Kban of
Tansristan and Shaikh Hussain and the Khan of Uorasjnn are again giving

Kindail Khan of Shabancara to join and threatening him if he does not.
think that it may he bluff, hut it is necessary to he prepared.
As gendarmerie are open(ly) with hostile faction (vide my telegrams,
ifil P SO—528 196 C. and numerous others from Shiraz and Bushire), it is
most necessafy to get tower (referred to in my telegrams, 61-422 and 73-470)
handed over to Governor. ,
In the event of attack I have no doubt gendarmes would either remain
