(b) Major Brandel is reported to have written to Zair Khadhar asking him to
capture Shaikh Shahab and send him in to ^ushire on the grounds that the latter is
indebted to the gendarmerie. Zair Khadhar is said to have sent a reply to the
effect that Shaikh Shahab was not with him and to have added that the Gover
nor of Bushire was at the bottom of all his troubles. He is said to have expressed
his readiness to send an “ Ishtishad ” signed by all the headmen who resigned the
gendarmerie, showing that it was His Excellency who had induced them to do so.
Shaikh Husein Chakutai is also said to have written in the same sense.
This accusation against His Excellency does not appear to have any founda
tion but to be merely a means adopted by the disaffected headmen of the
interior to get at the Governor.
277 Major Brandel is reported to have telegraphed to the Darya Begi at
Kazerun to arrest Kaid Muhammad Jaffer and his brother Raid Muhammad Ah
should they happen to go there.

portion of the European community. The streets were lined by 150 men of the
2nd Rajputs and the funeral cortege was preceded by 50 mounted men of the 39th
Central India Horse.
/m Monsieur Loiko who, it is understood, was stopped by telegram, while *
pn route to Baghdad to act for the Russian Consul-General at that place, arrived the
day before Monsieur Dmitrieff committed suicide and has since taken over charge
of the Consulate-General at Bushire.
