The Deputy Governor of Abadeh is reported to be demanding Krans 5 per
animal from all caravans passing through that place.

week started for the south.
Reports from Abadeh show considerable tension between the Deputy Governor
of that place and Mullah Qobad’s men. The latter in consequence of ill-treatment
by the former, left Abadeh on 23rd or 24th, but were called back from Bahman
on 25th by the Deputy Governor who has been endeavouring to come to terms

Shiraz and Abadeh unsafe (mainly owing to the dissensions above mentioned), but
quite safe from Abadeh to Ispahan.

tas now asked Masud-el-Mamalik for a second, some ammunition and 100 sarbazes.
]air Khadhar’s request for tffise munitions is beheved to be due rather to a desire to
trengthen his own position than to any wish to assist the Gov emor. At
