Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Zahar’s Bakhtiaris attacked them
near Baft and Dr. Biach was captured. He was sent to Bandar Abbas and has
since been deported to India. Zugmeyer himself was last heard of in a somewhat
parlous condition at* Niriz.
Constant reports from Shiraz indicate that until the arrival of the Qawam and
the Soulet, the town was in total disorder ;
Shiraz ‘ owing to the requisitioning o f the Gendarmes,
practically all the shops in the bazaar were closed.
Certain of the Gendarmerie like others realizing which way the tide w~as
running have returned to their allegiance, and on the 8th April Fath-ul-Mulk
Yever of the Gendarmerie was reported to be holding Shiraz for the Shah and the
Persian Government. The so-called German Consul at Shiraz fled to Abadeh;
but he was attacked there and wmunded. He has since been brought back to
Shiraz and will be sent to Tehran to be interned until the end of the war.
Numerous arrests have been made and all Gendarmerie officers who had gone out
against Qawam were put under arrest on their return.
Latest reports show that the following among others are now prisoners there :
Nasir-ul-Mulk who was nominated by Persian Government last September to the
Governorship of the Gulf Ports, and who was made Acting Governor-General by
the rebels, Daud Khan Naib said to have murdered the late Vice-Consul, Shiraz,
Dr. Mehdi Khan Malik Zadeh, deputy of the Majlis, Abu Turab Naib, formerly
Officer Commanding Borasjun, Zia-ul-Vaizin (notorious preacher) and Angmann,
the last Swedish Commandant of the Pars Regiment of Gendarmerie who is
believed to be responsible for the murder of Makertich.
The young Qawam and Soulet have taken a strong line and have already
executed after trial two of the late Qawam’s faithless servants, the eo;-Assistant
Chief of Police, and the ex-Commander of the Gendarmerie, and have made
further arrests.
No definite progress has been made in the negotiations for the release of the
British prisoners. The Khans desiring to
Hmterland. purchase pardon for their past crimes, have
stated as the first of their conditions that they should not be punished for any
thing they had done; a condition which obviously cannot be considered by us.
The Persian Government have ordered the Qawam and Soulet to do all they can
to get the prisoners released and to warn the Khans that they will be held
personally responsible for any harm that may happen to the prisoners.
Ghazanfar-es-Sultaneh alarmed at the recent turn of events has got Fath-ul-
Mulk at Shiraz to wire to the General Offi-
Gendarmene at Borasjun. cer C oinmanc q n g per© and the Soulet to
write to the Darya Begi and send a telegram to Tehran on his behalf. He also
professes to have arrested the Gendarmes (about 30) in and around Borasjun
and their Captain Sultan Ahmed Khan. The disarmament, if it actually took
place, was a farce as latest reports state that Sultan Ahmed Khan was not only
allowed to leave Borasjun but has been given money by Ghazanfar. He is now
reported to be at Konartakteh. Sultan Majid, another Gendarmerie officer with
about 30 men, is there also. They are holding up all travellers, caravans, etc.
The ex-Kalantar of Kumarij who was turned out by the Gendarmes last summer is
on the look out for them and as he holds the difficult pass of Tang-i-Turkan
between Kumarij and Kazerun they are prevented from moving further up the
road.
Wassmuss is still in the neighbourhood constantly moving between Chogadak
and Borasjun.
