The man who is referred to in telegram from Birjand 181 C. was sent
from Meshed, and he has managed to eflect his escape from Germans and has
returned with valuable information which I have given to my Bussian
Colleague and Colonel Gushchin. It has led to arrest at Turbat-i-Haidari of
German Agents. Also acting on this information Bussian Consul-General
made a search in the house of a German in Meshed (Eger, Agent of Biissian
firm) but nothing incriminating having been found, he was not interned or
arrested. He described departure for .nighanistan of an Afghan (this man is
perhaps Barketuilah) and a Turk who is called Mirza Agha, with a letter for
the Amir of Afghanistan. I have sent a warning to British Agent at Herat
and I am endeavouring to obtain that letter if possible.
British Agent at Turbat-i-Haidari has intercepted a letter wTiich was sent
by Germans.
