<upd_refs>I've repeatedly seen this word in books apparently used to mean "sending a telegram". For example, "海軍は、大海令十三号を博恭王軍令部総長名で、上海の長谷川第三艦隊司令長官に発電している。"

I found one example of this on ejje.weblio.jp.

<upd_detl>not sure there's enough evidence of this usage in Japanese 
to include (from some light googling), but it seems it is 
used in this meaning in Chinese:
