A
strong roprosortat 1 ens to the Porolan Oovernrent witb ti.;e
result that pr^^cln^ instructtons were sent by the lato
Atta>’'ek ordering the PaVhtiari Chiefs irr-odlately to taJ^e

Saad-ed-Dowl eh, ti*e new hint star for Foret-rn Affairs, to
the effect that frosxi inst.ructtons have been telegraphed
to the Shahab and Bainsar e$ f 3a.lta,a©h to see Justice Gone,
In vion of the fact that the ora -rs of the Attabeli, who was
fenomi to coxu and the respect of the fiians, were either evad

whose recant ©,ppointrant to office has been by no roans
viewed with general approval, will be fruitful of result.
The impotence of the central Governrert to deal with
thaee and stellar cases is, I venture to tL.inlc, earoly lo-
ronatrat-ed by the seriaa of reports I liavo Lad tie honour
of addressing to you, and I accordingly submit that, 1j*t
