(Mr. Gummeré acknowledges receipt of Department’s instructions yesterday, and states that, while acting in close touch with the British minister, he has not entertained any idea of departing from his present [Page 504] attitude without having first received positive instructions from the Department. He reports that Shereef left for Zellal’s village very early this morning with money and prisoners.)
