whither he had proceeded a ter leaving Kazarun in order to inspect the small gar-
nson there He informed the Consul that he had met Muhammad Khan, Kash&Ii,
m that district, and as desired by Major Lundberg, had requested him to proceed
immediately to Kazarun to assist the gendarmerie in capturing Nasr-ud-Diwan
and m dispersing the outlaws. As promised Muhammad Khan with 100 men
arrived m bhiraz.
(c) A certain Javad Khan has come to Kazarun on behalf of the Saulat-ud-
Dauleh with a small force of Kashgais to assist the gendarmes. As Muhammad
Khan is on bod terms with the Saulat it seems likely that the presence of these
two conflicting elements will lead to difficulties.
Negotiations were made during the 2nd week of March with the object of in
ducing the Nasr-ud-Diwan to quit the country. He has telegraphed to the Gov
ernor-General to say that he is willing to do so on condition that the Persian Gov
ernment take over his properties and supply him with funds. On the 26th Major
Lundberg hearing that the Nasr-ud-Diwan was in a village near the foot of the hills
to the south, marched out his gendarmes to try and capture him. But the operation
appears to have been mismanaged, and after some firing the Nasr-ud-Diwan and
his men escaped to the hills, and the gendarmerie force returned to Kazarun. The
state of the town is somewhat better now, but it has apparently been found neces
sary to call in. the assistance of the headmen of the villages of Kaluni and Pul
Abginneh, to assist in guarding the town at night. These men and their tufangchis
are known to have been amongst the worst of the pillagers of Kazarun, and to have
secured the lionts share of the loot, and their presence in the town has the effect
of further terrorising the unfortunate Kazarunis. There are still a number of
tufangchis in the Kazarun plain, but no further fighting or robberies are reported.
441 (a) During the 2nd week of March the Consul received several letters Sauiat
from the SauIat-ud-Dauleh, and had several visits from his agent here. The Sauiat
is naturally very much exercised over the Kazarun affair, and in common with every
one else in the province is very much incensed against the gendarmerie—not
so much (as the agent explained to the Consul) because the gendarmerie looted,
which is regarded as natural enough ; but because of the indiscriminate nature of the
looting whereby friends and foes suffered alike, and because of the outrages against
the inhabitants and the cruel treatment of the prisoners (amongst whom were
several of the chief mullahs). The Consul stronsdv urged the Sauiat both in writing
and through the agent, to maintain friendly relations with the Swedish officers,
and to carry out their wishes as regards assisting the gendarmerie to the best of
his ability. The Sauiat as usual was profuse in his protestations of good will to
wards His Majesty’s Government and its representatives, and of his readiness to
carry out their wishes in any respect.
(b) The situation with regard to the Kashgais is undoubtedly a very delicate
one, and it would take but little to make the tribe turn against the gendarmerie.
(c) Their presence too is an additional misfortune, as their horses are being
grazed on the growing crops.
(d) All prisoners taken by the gendarmerie have now been released and the
townspeople seem to be regaining a little confidence, although still in great
distress, for lack of food, etc. Through traffic has been resumed from the south,
and a large number of mules, donkeys and camels passed Kazarun en route for
Shiraz. Colonel Uggla has arranged to dismiss the various Kashgai detachments
in the neighbourhood of Kazarun, who are doing more harm than good. Muham
mad Khan, Kashkuli, has looted a part of the village of Duan. The exact where
abouts of Nasr-ud-Diwan are uncertain, but he is supposed to be somewhere m
the mountains near Konar Takhteh. Ali Muhammad and other robber. chiefs
are also hiding in the neighbouring mountains with their bands. The principa
difficulty now is the appointment of a suitable governor for Kazarun. No one
cares to go there in the present circumstances. There is no force ot her than tb®
gendarmerie to support a governor’s authority, and whoevec was sent there won
