7 The Prime Minister has conferred the succession of the districts of
Slmhankareh and Zirah on the coast plain on the friendly Muhammad Ah
lhan of Shahankareh, son of the late (friendly) Ismarl Khan.
8. According to a report from a fairly reliable source, there are about
700 Gendarmes at Shiraz and 70 at Kazerun. _ , . "
Havat Daud states that brass and empty cartridge cases are being bought
un in Borasiun hv the Borasjuni Company for despatch to Shiraz where
mac inerv for making ammunition is said to have arrived. In any case, the
supply of brass is inadequate. In this connection the Khan of Angali reports
that the Shiraz Consulate Indian cavalry escort was being sent back to Shiraz
to help in the manufacture of ammunition.
q. Both in Kerman and Shiraz the unpleasant and predatory habits of the
Gendarmes and democrats are causing the population much grief and material
1 SS 10 Nearer home there is (as hinted above) a general air of setback to the
local rebel movement. The Khan of Borasjun has written in a doleful strain to
l arva Begi. Shaikh Hussain is reported on the best authority to have been
defied by the Zangui tribesmen living at Chahkutah, and to have been unable
to deal with them! Zair Khidhar has been threatened, if an exchange of the
wounded Tangistani prisoner in Bushire is not effected. There is also general
disgust of Zair Khidhar, and generally the tribesmen for the mos part are
stated ready to turn against the rebel leaders, directly a Persian or other force
makes a movement. It is also evident that the rebels are short of money.
The detention of a consignment of tea at Bahrain is reported by the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
. It is confirmed from the friendly Dashti coast that most of
the consignment was for Zair Khidhar and other rebels.
11. Traffic vid Shief and neighbouring small coast ports was temporarily
suspended on the 22nd to prevent the entry of spies from Borasjun during the
visit of His Excellency Qawam-ul-Mulk, Acting Governor-General of tars,
who arrived on the 24th and at the end of the month under review was still at
Bushire settling the details of his forthcoming spring campaign.
12 Amir Muiahid Ilbegi of the Bakhtiaris arrived at Behhehan about
the 17th of the month.
13. Before coming down to Lingah and Bushire the Qawam-ul-Mulk
had an interview with Soulet-ud-Douleh after which, with his customary
impetuosity, he announced that Soulet had definitely gone over to the enemy.
Latter has apparently sent a certain number of men to Borasjun under
his brother-in-law, Hassan Khan, but they have not yet taken any active part
in the hostilities, and it seems probable that the Soulet is still sitting on the
fence. The Deputy Governor of Lar on the other hand has gone solid against
the authority of the Acting Governor-General and Qawam looks forward with
keen delight to the pleasure of sacking Lar with the utmost thoroughness.
14. H. M. S. “ Bramble ” has moved up the creek and taken up a
station east of Bushire Town at a point 1,000 yards south-south-east of
Pudar village. This completes the line of outposts in a most effective manner
and has caused some excitement among the rebels.
15. Darya Begi proposes to make a tour down the Gulf as soon as the
“ Persepolis ” arrives from Mohammerah and can be placed at his disposal.
16. Bandar Abbas. —Nazim-ul-Mulk, son-in-law of the Qawam, returned
to Bandar Abbas on the 26th January.
17. Some Baluchis, followers of Mir Barkat, killed the Persian Mudir of
Customs at Kohistak. Mir Barkat was reported to be marching on Minab to
attack the place but the
