The case was further complicated by the flight of the Company’s agent
Bawar to Kerman and the closing of the workshops at Bawar.
716. Beference was made to the Acting Governor at Kerman by His Majesty’s
Consul (as in charge of Italian interests), and the former proposed to arrange for
the removal of Latif Khan through the Salar Amjad, Governor of Kafsinian
who is his immediate superior. J ’
Guarantees of safety were to be given to Castelli’s refugees, who were to return
to resume work, and a commission of enquiry was to be appointed to make some
‘amstjn show of ascertaining the actual facts of the case on the spot.
717. Much delay and prevarication ensued on the part of the authorities, and
prolonged negotiations between the parties and His Majesty’s Consulate. On the
11th May Latif Khan eventually came into Kerman. The enquiry at Bawar was
however then postponed by the departure of M. Moreau and Husainoff to meet Mr.
Btevens at Bafsinjan. The latter, on his arrival, informed His Majesty’s Consul
that he believed he had succeeded in settling the case with the Salar Amjad on the
basis that Latif Khan should in no circumstances return to Bawar, while the
company should drop its claim for moral and material damage. It is sincerely to
be hoped that this is so, as the case would be extremely difficult of satisfactory
adjustment.
