541. A party of Baluch penetrated into Khajfis, but it appears that they were
not strong enough to do much harm.
542. Further reports were received early in the month that Jihand was pre
paring a force in Sarhad with the intention of marching on Narmashir and Bam.
Later reports, however, from Dahanah-i-Baghu stated that Jihand was proposing to
proceed by way of Sipih and Spidranagi to raid Neh.
543. From the same source a report was received that a large Afghan caravan
with arms was passing Baluchab, 40 miles east of Dahanah, on its way north.
This caravan was responsible for interrupting communication in the Telegraph.
Line for some time.
544. Reference paragraph 485 above. The Jiruftis were later said to have
fled from their homes leaving their country empty. A report received at Bam
stated that the people were in a great state of perturbation to the west of the Halil
Rud, anticipating an invasion by the Baluch.
545. Part of the post due on March 24th and 31st respectively was delivered Condition of roada
on April 1st. The letters due on March 24th were delivered on April 5th. There and P ost8,
are parcels missing from both posts. No clear account has been given of what
happened, but one or both posts appear to have been waylaid near Daulatabad.
546. The upward post which left Bandar Abbas on March 22nd was delayed at
Daulatabad by disturbances in the neighbourhood. It was delivered in Kerman
on the 11th instead of 7 th April.
547. A caravan of the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers proceeding to Bandar
Abbas was held up and robbed at Gudar-i-Surkh. All the property taken was*
however, subsequently restored, with the exception of three rugs despatched by
Fayazoff, a Russian subject in Kerman.
548. Reference paragraph 339. At the instance of His Majesty’s Minister,
His Majesty’s Consul at Shiraz is again putting pressure on the Kawam-ul-Mulk to
take steps to recover the property robbed at Daulatabad last year; but he is not very
hopeful of success.
549. Reference paragraph 491 and 492 above. On His Majesty’s Consul’s British intereatau
protest the accused Chiragh ’Ali was immediately sent up to the Consulate by the
Karguzar. Difficulties were then, however, made by the Karguzar who said he had
received instructions that Persians in European employ were to be treated as ordi
nary Persian subjects. His Majesty’s Consul had, however, only asked that the man
should be tried in the ’Adliyah in presence of a representative of the Consulate, and
had not suggested that he should be treated as a foreign subject. Negotiations con
tinued, and at one time it was agreed that the case should be gone into as suggested,
at the ’Adliyah. Then the Rais-i-’Adliyah objected. After that the
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.
Nusrat
undertook to settle the matter himself to the satisfaction of His Majesty’s Consul.
550. After further vacillation on the part of the authorities, which rendered
every proposed scheme of settlement in turn abortive, the
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.
Nusrat finally
handed over Chiragh ’Ali to His Majesty’s Consul to deal with, and promised
to deal with Nazmiyah men himself. Against the latter it had of course been
impossible to bring any proofs, so that it was difficult to make and enforce any
very specific demands. They will probably at least be frightened. His Majesty’s
Consul fined Chiragh ’Ali, who admitted having fired, 5 tumans, which sum he
paid to the wounded man as the means best calculated to allay the vindictiveness
of himself and his partisans. His Majesty’s Consul finally handed over Chiragh
’Ali to his master, who is tired of him and will either transfer or dismiss him.
The man himself wants to leave Kerman.
551. All this pother appears to have been due to enmity and jealousy between
the Karguzar and the Rais-i-Nazmiyah and to the former’s trying to bring the
Rais-i-Nazmiyah into discredit.
It is not anticipated that the present officials will attempt again for some time
to come to act in the way they have just done. Explanatory, f.e., apologetic visits
were received from the
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.
Nusrat’s son on his father’s behalf, and from the
Rais-i-Nazmiyah.
552. Reference paragraph 376. Enquiries from Bam regarding the reported Foreign interegtg<
intention of the Russian Agent there to open business in “ Narmashir Dyes ”
with Paris, and his assertion that he was being sent a flag, have failed to
elicit any very definite information.
