of Mohammerah attempt to dislodge them from Shushter by force.
485. The Amir Mujahid arrived at Ramuz on 5th April. It is unlikely that
he will be able to proceed to his destination. He has sent his heavy baggage and
a number of his followers back to the Ilaq and will probably follow them shortly.

making a treaty with the Shaikh on behalf of the II Khani family and acting as
intermediary in settling the differences between the Shaikh and Bakhtiari/s.

are responsible for the robberies on the road, leaves only one course open to the
Khans, if they are desirous of ensuring the safety of the route, ix., to establish and
maintain sufficiently and properly paid and organised Bakhtiari guards on the road
and on the passes giving access to the road from the Kuhgilu territory, as will render
it impossible for raiding parties to cross the Bakhtiari frontier.
The absence of the senior chiefs from tribal territory and inter-family jealousy
and intrigue, however, render it improbable that any such action will be taken.
488. The condition of the telegraph lines has been more unsatisfactory than
usual during the month under report.
