With reference to my despatch No.11 of yesterday's
cate, wnich will leave here by the same mail, I am glad
to be able to report that the Governor General informed
me later in the oay that the necessary instructions haa
been given. I h.^ve already telegraphed to you tin this
sense. As His Excellency's message was received within
two hours of our conversation, it r'oulb srem th&t he had
found guidance in his own files, as he haa not poseibly
had time to refer the matter to Tehran.
2 . I have thought it as well, for purposes of record,
to allow my previous despatch to go forwaro, though this
appears to be a satisfactory development. According to
Captain Chauncy'e information the present Governor of
Gusbah was reprimanded in lingah for carrying out a
similar policy and neglecting to take ro tice of instruc
tions to cease fire. I can only nope that the Governor
General's present instructions are sufficiently precise
ana will be obeyed.
3. A copy of this deep tch is being sent to the
Honouraole the Political Resident at Buehire (No.396).
I have the honour to be.
