9. The Deputy Governors of Bandar Abbas and Lingeb reported on
January 7th and 9th the arrival of four Germans at Lar and Darab where it
was said they were stirring up the Baharlus and distributing heavy bribes
Nazim-ul-Mulk’s report that his father-in-law Qawam-ul-Mulk had been refused
admittance to Lar and that Nasr-ud-Douleh (Qawam’s son) had been prevented
by the Baharlus from entering Darab also foreshadows possible trouble for
Bandar Abbas and Bingeh, The local authorities have asked for ammunition
and wish to increase their guards.
10. The Khan of Borasjun has sent through Darya Bej?i a lengthy reply to
a telegram received from Barman Farma. In it he gives vent to his grievances
against the ‘ tyrannical British,’ laments the confiscation of his money and.
avers that he has been so £ strictly neutral ’ that the British cannot rake up a
single charge against him ! With all that he is £ burning to lead his men to
avenge himself, unless the Prime Minister can obtain reparation.’ (This Khan
is more astute than his confederates: he pulls the strings and is the centre of
the rebellion while he makes his confederates do all the open attacking.)
11. Heavy rain has fallen during the month. This has had the double
effect of alleviating anxiety about crops, and of preventing night raids by
the enemy.
12. Amir Mujahid Ilbegi of the Bakhtiari has been obstinately continuing
his importunities with regard to the friendly Lirawi districts on the coast!
On the Blst January the welcome news arrived from His Majesty’s Minister
that Lirawi had at length been placed under the jurisdiction of the Governor
of the Gulf Ports. i
13. No doubt with the object of directly connecting the rebels in
Behbehan with those in Borasjun, the Khan of Borasjun has had the telegraph
line between that town and the river at Kullul re-erected : he had cut it
himself in August 1915. Measures have been taken to defeat his object.
Behbehan and Kuhgilu.
11. Mr. Vice-Consul Chick visited Bandar Big on the 15th and 16th,
consulted with Haidar Khan of Hayat Daud regarding the tribal situation, and
spoke to the Besidency Agent at Behbehan over the wire. A certain Saiyid
Isa Bamhormuzi, who caused the disturbances of March last in Ahwaz, has
arrived at Behbehan with other clerical delegates from the revolutionaries in
Ispahan, He has visited the Kuhgilu Khans and brought Shukrullah Khan Boir
Ahmedi into the town. He preached Jehad in the mosque on the 11th and
again on the 21st. A subscription of 2,000 Tumans was fixed to be paid by
the merchants, and women were called upon to contribute their gold orna
ments. The town is overawed. Saiyid Isa’s idea would appear to he to work
up an expedition against the friendly Khans of the coast and make a move
ment against Bushire from that side. The
Ilkhani
The paramount chief of certain tribes in south west Iran.
and Ilbegi of the Bakhtiari |
have notified their intention of proceeding to Bamhormuz on the 6th Pebrm
ary and thence to Behbehan, where it is hoped their presence will have a
sobering effect. Mr, Grahame (His Majesty’s Consul-General, Ispahan, and
now in charge of Bakhtiari affairs) will also proceed to Bamhormuz.
The Bakhtiari Khans have expressed their sympathy with the plight of
the captive Shiraz Colony and have offered to send an expedition to release
them ! Their proposal was declined with many thanks.

towards Lar from Darab whither they had gone to collect men to attack
Bandar Abbas or Lingeh, The Director of Customs immediately on hearing
the news sent to Bandar Abbar for launch “ Gilan ” and on its arrival sent
