94. During tHe past year, a Hindu trader of Dizak, named Dhormu Mulchand, was
stripped of all his property and flogged by order of the Persian Governor of Baluchistan,
Abul Fath Khan, and his female and other relations carried off and imprisoned at Bampur.
This case, which has been taken up by Her Majesty's Minister at Tehran, is still pending,
95. In April 1887 Zeyun -ul-Abidin Khan Sirtip, Governor of Persian Baluchistan, was
dismissed, and Abul Path Khan Sirtip succeeded him.
96. It appears that the Chief of Dizak, Dilawar Khan, has been seized and imprisoned
at Bampur.
97. The following are the present recognised Chiefs of districts :—
Mir Mowladad Sirbaz and Kasrkand.
Mir Muhammad Ali .
Mir Din Muhammad
Mir Sayid * Khan ,
Mir Hussain Khan
98. The inhabitants of Gwetter, who had mostly emigrated on account of oppression,
have returned, and the place is as thriving as of yore.
99. At Jask the Persian Governor Mirza Hidayet, who had given every satisfaction to
the English Telegraph Department, was replaced by Mirza Ali Khan, who is also conciliatory.
100. In February, the Malek-et-Tujjar of Bushire visited Jask with a detachment of
troops and the Persian flag was hoisted and saluted. A large guard of Persian Regulars
were posted at Jask, but owing to difficulty in rationing them they were withdrawn, and at
present there is a guard of Irregulars only.
101. In October Mr. Ffinch reported much increase of wilful damage to telegraph
material in the Jask districts owing to the hostility of the people to Persian authorities.
102. In the same month an affray occurred at Jask owing to some Baluchis of the neigh
bourhood refusing to pay tax on produce. They were overpowered and made prisoners, and
there was some panic owing to threats of a rescue. Eventually the Baluchis were punished aud
released.
103. Since then matters seem to have gone on quietly at Jask.
< 9.—OBSERVATORY.
104. The usual tables showing the meteorological observations during the year at Bushire
are attached. The hot weather was not severe and a good " Barih" Shemal was experienced
in June and July. Smart earthquakes occurred at Bushire on 14th and 24th November.
10.—SLAVE TRADE.
105. Her Majesty's vessels on the Gulf Station made the usual efforts to intercept slavers
running cargoes from Africa to 'Oman, but without success. It appears that a small number
of vessels manage to elude the cruisers and to land cargoes of slaves on the 'Oman Coast, but
most of the slavers (small craft), land the slaves far to the south-west, where no cruisers
patrol, and the slaves are subjected to the long march thence overland, thus adding to their
hardships.
11.—OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS & NAVAL ESTABLISHMENTS.
106. 16tk April 1887. —Mr. A. R. Hakim, Assistant to Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. , returned from
three months' privilege leave.

assume charge of that office.

109. 3rd September 1887. —Mr, G. Lucas proceeded on three months' privilege leave, and
rejoined 1st December.
110. Her Majesty's Ships "Osprey," "Sphinx" " Kingfisher," "Banger" and "Tur
quoise" were on the Station during the year 1887-88. The latter joined on 27th February
and is the senior officer's ship.
