• Reports were received from Lingah that small-pox was rasing there.
Bis Majesty's Consul wired to the Head Clerk, Lingah, enquiring whether this
was true, xhe Quarantine Medical Officer reported that tbe small-pox was
bad but was decreasing and that vaccinations were being carried out.
Mir Yakoob, brother-in-law of Mir Barkat, came into Earyan in tbe
Minab district and killed Haji Kambar Dadi, Kalantar of Earyan in the Minab
district, and carried away his belongings.
It was also reported that 200 Tahirzais were gathered at. Euhistak, and
one hundred men at Mahal-i-Jao. His Majesty-s Consul wrote a letter of
warning to Mir Barkat and advised the Deputy Governor Minab not to take
the offensive unless raiders commenced attacking and plundering Minab
district. The Officer Commanding, South Persia liifles, was asked to have
a party of men in readiness to proceed to Minab at short notice in case Mir
Y akoob intended raiding tbe district: matters now, however, have quietened
down.
Kerman (September 20th to October 18th .)—There were several
robberies committed during the last half of September. A caravap
consisting of about sixty camels en route to Yezd was robbed near Anar
on September 26th, and a caravan of pilgrims en route to Eerman was robbed
three farsakbs beyond Anar by a small band of mounted and foot Arabs, about
tbe same time. It was believed that these robberies were the result pf
Tumours, then current, that Prince Parman Parma, Governor-General of Pars,
bad been dismissed. Shortly after this, however, it was confirmed that
Parman Parma was no longer Governor-General of Pars : little activity
of robbers has occurred since this, but it was feared that trouble might
ensure. About October 17th news was received from Anar that some
300 Pars robbers had closed the Darvazeh, Payad and Eermanshah
passes on the Anar-Mehdibad section of the Eerman-Yezd road. The road
is, therefore, blocked to caravans and travellers.
The first post from Kerman to Duzdap left Kerman ©n September 28th
apd the first poet from Duzdap for Kerman Jeft on September 27th. The
service is weekly and the mails have since been arriving regularly, taking five
days on tbe journey to and from Duzdap. This is a great improvement as
letters from Bunder Abbas take eight days or more to reach Kerman. Accord
