In the last week of March official notification was at last received in Kerman
from the Persian Government of the appointment of Hishmat-ud-Dowleh as
Governor-General. He has sent a friendly message to Sardar Nusrat and is said
to be well-disposed towards us. Earlier in the month satisfactory relations were
established with the help of His Majesty’s Vice-Consul between Nusrat-ul-Mamalik
and bardar Kusrat, the latter shortly afterwards being appointed to the Governor
ship of Jiruft, which he administers through his nephew Muhtashim-ud-Mulk.
The arrival of the late Governor-General and Ihtisham-ud-Dowleh at Tehran
was quickly followed by a telegraphic summons, from the Minister of the Interior
to the bardar with which the Sardar, however, on the advice of His Majesty’s
Vice-Consul after reference to His Majesty’s Minister, did not comply. This inci
dent, like the Karguzar’s dismissal and the removal of the friendly Rais-i-Adliya
indicates an activity of anti-British policy which it is hoped will be considerably
modified by change of Cabinet. .
