concluded by Dyer making them British subjects. This story is confirmed by
Thanadar British official here. Dyer has possibly only promised protection.
His Majesty’s Government will not confirm even formal arrangements of
latter description, I imagine. In about five days I hope to learn facts from
Dyer. Report that Jehind has attacked Taj Muhammad Reki, because latter
sided with us against former has just been received from Dehaneh Baghi.
Addressed to Tehran and repeated to Meshed and Baluchistan.

No. 504, dated Quetta, the 11th May 1916 (Confidential).
From—The Hon’ble Lieutenant-Colonel Sir John Ramsay, K.C.I.E. C.S.I.
Agent to the Governor-General in Baluchistan,
To—Foreign Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political
Department.
I have the honour to forward herewith, in original, a newsheet
purporting to be issued from, the German Consulate at Kerman and two
letters addressed to Sardar Jehind, Damani, and Juma Khan, Ismailzai, as
X think.it may be of interest to the Government of India to see specimens
of the literature which has been scattered broadcast along the Persian border
by German agents.
2. These papers were intercepted by our agents and were brought to the
Political Agent, Chagai. The newsheet gives “ correct news of the war in
Rurope and Asia from November 1915 to the 20th January 1916”, and
though much of it is true it is needless to say that the “ news ” consists only
of what is favourable to Germany. The letter to Jehind Khan apparently
rom ^ugmayer and endeavours to persuade the former to raise a
jehad. Ihe second letter bears the seals of four Persians who describe them-
selves as representatives of the German Empire ” and invites Juma Khan
to collect tribesmen and camels to be in readiness to join the “ German army ’*
which is approaching Nasratabad. :
3. Saiyid Abid Shah, who has just returned from Kacha, says that the
the v f eco «. d ^ tte 1 r are Persian Kadkhudas of various places
situated in the Narmashir district between Nasratabad Sipeh and Bam. He
does not know the exact place of residence of each. ^
