his movements and proceedings. It seems that Paschen has complained to the
Governor that one of his messengers has been arrested by me in Meshed. This
unfortunately is not true.
The Jamadar who conducted Niedermayer’s party to Kabul has returned to
Herat. It seems that one German died before the party reached Kabul, and that
bis body was carried into Kabul and buried there. The Jamadar reports that the
Amir used to send for one of the Germans every night and interview' him
taking the numbers of the party ; in turn. He also reports ! L that British
subjects employed in the Government workshops have been warned not to
walk out, in case they should be molested, and that some German fugitives
reached Kabul from Russian Turkistan and weie handed over to Niedermayer.
The sowars who escorted the party to Kabul were much disappointed when they
ascertained that the Germans had no intention of “ tipping ” them.
The Governor of Bala Marghab is said to have-reported the arrival there of 10
German fugitives, and to have received orders to send them to Herat.
The servants of Paschen’s party are now permitted to walk about freely,
without guards.
The Commander of the Troops is renewing locally the bolts, pouches and
bayonet scabbards of the troops.
The Governor is having the old bridges over the town ditch destroyed and is
replacing them by stronger bridges.
Paschen is said to have told the Governor that he could bring ten or fifteen
thousand troops to Herat, but that his plans must be kept from the British Agent,
lest he should take steps to have the troops opposed on their way.

shelled the tower in which Haji Ghulam Husain, next-of-kin of the murdered man,
and the otner rioters had taken refuge. The rioters surrendered and they have been
brought to Nishabur. Their property has been confiscated.
