1049 (a) The Amiri-Mufakhkham suddenly returned to the town on the even
ing of July 5th.
(6) Reference paragraph 806. The Muwaffaq-ud-Daulah, late Deputy Gov
ernor, visited the Amir-i-Mufakhkham in his camp in Sirjan and subsequently
left for Tehran. The Amir is said to have excused him the payment of 1,600
tomans

for his travelling expenses.
1050. The Itimad-ul-Mulk, whose appointment as Deputy Governor was can
celled at the instance of His Majesty's Legation, arrived at Yezi, where he received
orders to halt. These orders, however, he disregarded and he made his way in
spite of the Amir’s protests as far as Rafsinjan. He repeatedly wrote and tele
graphed to the Amir urging him to secure the appointment for him, or else to let
him come to Kerman whence he would proceed to Bunder Abbas and Europe.
In the same breath he said he had no funds, which was probably a fact, so it would
appear that he really wanted to start a begging campaign in Kerman. He also
wrote an expostulatory letter to His Majesty’s Consul for standing in his light.
Finally the Itimad withdrew to Yezd, but not, it is said, before he had received

out of the Amir’s superfluity.
1051. After some difficulty the Amir-i-Hishmat, now Governor of Bam, has on
the suggestion of His Majesty’s Consul and the application of the Governor-General
been nominated Deputy Governor of Kerman. It is intended to appoint the Salar-
i-Mufakhkham, nephew of the

-i-Nusrat, to Bam. The question
of supplying him with a force of 200 men is under reference, as the few Bakhtiari
sowars and others at present with the Amir-i-Hishmat will doubtless return here
with him, having been entertained by some personal arrangement.
1052. Reference paragraph 814. Abdul Husain Khan, theSirjan rebel who
was reported to have been wounded and dead or on the point of death, in fact made
his escape to Duragah where he gathered round him a strong following. He is
still at large.
1053. Husain Khan escaped from the Amir s camp. He had been given per
sonal liberty in the camp on the strength of the

was left behind in Sirjan to recover
the fugitive or find the surety money; As there is no particular prospect of his being
able to do either his family were much perturbed and representations were made
to His Majesty’s Consul, whose consolations were somewhat cold. He informed
both the Amir and the Sirdar’s friends that he considered the whole negotiation as
highly improper in the case of a rebel; and reminded the Amir that the surety if
forfeited should be paid in to the Finance Department.

1055. Another recalcitrant, the Rashid-us-Sultan, was brought into Kerman in
a battered condition. He has been kept in confinement to his considerable annoy
ance. He declares his inability to pay more and his intention of dying. It may
be that he has been treated with undue harshness ; that is difficult to ascertain,
but, in any case, like others cf his sort, the dog has had his day of pride and con
tumacy. ’ '
1056. His Majesty s Consul called on the Governor-General and spoke seriously
to him on the subject of the appointment of the Itimad-ul-Mulk, and of his having
