TTiese terms being conceded, tbe hostile chiefs declare that they will remain
on friendly terms, till the British again violate the neutrality of Persia.
These terms have been referred to Government, but are on the face of them
macceptable. However, the Deputy Resident has enquired by letter of the Chiefs
whether m the event of the Government approving of negotiations they would be
agreeable to personal exchanges of some of the political deportees (during the
occupation) for the sowars of the Shiraz escort and some of the Englishmen.
At the bottom of the demands made, there will no doubt appear, sooner or
later, a condition that the British Government should waive all demands, for the
t* 16 . guilty Khans for their unprovoked attacks on Bushire,
the deaths of five or six British officers and a number of men, their alliance with the
Germans and their other excesses ; in fact, that they will be able to put the British
into the position of the defeated party.
. 6 * Considerable commotion has been caused by the report of the speedy
arrival of Sajdar Ashair,

of the Kashgais, in Dashtistan. The confederate
Khans are apparently not reassured as to his intentions, and Sheikh Hussain is
said to have sent him a large bribe. It is even said that they have discussed how
to oppose him, if necessary.

of the Kashgai tribes, has proceeded in pursuit of the
Darashuri, the largest, clan of the tribes, who have revolted and sought the
protection of the Bakhtiari. On the 16th November he was at Cham-i-Khan Kuli,
adjoining the Basht and Bawi districts, which belong to the Kuhgilu Chief Asadullah
Khan. The latter and the Darashuri were reported prepared to resist

The last news of the

Ashair was that he was six farsakhs from Behbehan
about the end of the month.
Some 15 or 20 Kashgai sowars arrived in Borasjun towards the end of the
month, apparently on behalf of Soulet-es-Sultaneh who is to be Governor of Dashti
on behalf of his brother Soulet-ud-Dowleh. So far there is no sign of Soulet-es-
Sultaneh himself.
7. On November 24th the merchants of Bushire leceived a telegram from the
mere!ants of Shiraz, saying that they would now agree to merchandise being sent
up-country via the Shief route. Tins had apparently already been arranged by
the Khan of Borasjun, outwardly, he is reported to have said, as a concession to the
Khan of Angali and despite any opposition that his confederates tbe other hostile
Khans may make. The Deputy Resident interviewed the Governor on the
subject and the latter informed the merchants who have petitioned him, that the
Shief road had been closed by the Gendarmerie and hostile Khans and not by the
British authorities, so they had better get some assurance from these Khans and
Gendarmerie that their goods would be allowed to pass unmolested.
Owing to the partial blockade of the hostile districts, it probably has some
inward connection with the dearness and scarcity of supplies in those districts.
The friendly Khans strongly deprecate supplies being allowed to go to Borasjun.
Lingeh.
8. Mahmud, Farrash Bashi, Deputy Governor-elect of Lingeh, arrived by
S.S. “Chakla” on the 25th.
9. Laristan has been flooded with anti-British literature.
10. Wassmuss is said to have visited Saiyid Abdul Hussain Lari at Firozabad,
but this is not confirmed.
Bandar Abbas.
11. Agha Mirza Hassan Ali, the Persian Post Master of Bandar Abbas, was shot
dead at 9 p.m. on the 4th. His muiderer has not yet been traced. It is believed
he was murdered because he openly avowed he was a follower of Bahi-ul-lah.
