assistance, as he is a very good officer.

Please refer to your telegram, No. 55. Consul at Kerman did make a
suggestion in reply to an expression of opinion by me that Goveriiment of
I India would not despatch troops to Kerman. Suggestion appeared to me to be
of so fantastic a nature that 1 did not think fit to give it serious notice.
Addressed to His Britannic Majesty’s Consul-General, Meshed.

Telegram, No. 163 C., dated (and received) the 2nd August 1915.
From— Major F. B. Pride aux, C.I.E., His Britannic Majesty's Consul for Sis*an
and Kain,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Simla.
Please refer to my telegram, No. 66, dated the 31st ultimo. Officer Com
manding, Cossacks at Kain, has informed the Russian Vice-Consul that force
is quartered at school which adjoins the mosque.
Karguzar had asked that except in the presence of representative of
Governor houses be not searched. It is considered by Vice-Consul that for
military reasons this is not practicable.
The village of Kain is surrounded by a garden which contains detached
houses and it was suspected that in them many Bakhtiaris were being
sheltered and baggage hidden, I have been given by Vice-Consul an extract
from his telegraphic report to Legation in which he states “ Karguzar’s
arguments are of no importance at a time of military action amongst the
Persians, the majority of whom with their Governors are giving German
agitators a welcome ".
* r
lo-night the Russian Vice-Consul is requesting his Legation for permission
to go to lun, thougli 1 believe that most of the Cossacks are now out in pursuit
of enemy. I propose to send British Vice-Consul with him if he goes.
Latter s proceeding to Tun will have a reassuring effect upon the Persian
authorities, while the Russians will have a contrary impression.
Sent to Minister at Tehran, 67; repeated Baluchistan, Meshed.
