His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran, that the Minister for War was telegraphing
orders for Allah Karam Khan’s release but the local authorities persist in
declaring that no orders have been received.
The Minister for War appears to have promised Nizam-es-Saltaneh’s
A^ent that he would reinstate Agha Khan Borasjun at Daliki but the Oihcer ^
Commanding Troops refused to take action alleging the receipt of orders to the
contrary.
The Minister has ordered the Governor through the Officer Commanding
Troops, to hand over Ckaghadak to Sheikh Mohamed, son of the late notorious
Sheikh’ Hussain. Chaghadak has never been in the possession of Sheikh
Hussain’s family and this is merely another instance of the Minister’sj>ro :
German and anti-British policy. The Governor has deferred execution of the
order until he can ascertain the lie of the land at Tehran.
It is reported that the Officer Commanding Troops, Bushire, has instructed
the Officer Commanding Troops, Borasjun, to secure for Jehangir Khan,
brother of Sohrab Khan the present Khan, some portion of the Shabankareh
district. Jehangir is now a protege of Sheikh Mohamed (mentioned in the
preceding paragraph) while Sohrab Khan has been friendly to us which
possibly furnished the motive for this move of the Officer Commanding
Troops.
The Governor has reported that the Officer Commanding Troops has
engaged a man at Dashtak to report the arrival and departure of all British
Government vessels off Keshire.
The removal of the War Minister’s presence from South Persia has been
the signal for the renewal of the levy of ‘ Bahdari ’ and other illegal exactions
on the Bushire-Shiraz road.
The Postal Conference at Bushire commenced on the 5th December and
the final agreement (subject to ratification by the British and Persian Govern
ments), was signed on the 9th December.
Three suspicious persons believed to be Europeans arrived from Shiraz on
the Gth December and left for Mohammerah on the 14th. They have,
however, been identified as Armenians at Mohammerah. Madame Orlovskaya,
the Russian Jewess, has also left for Mohammerah probably with the object of
renewing her attempts to proceed to Basra. His Majesty's Consul, Moham
merah, has been warned and requested to have her movements watched.
Kerman. —(13th November—11th December.) It is reported that a
civilian named Mudabbar-as-Saltaneh has set out from Tehran to relieve the
Head of the local Nazmiyeh (Police) Department who is a military officer.
The troops detailed to assist in the recovery of land revenues reached
Bam on the 13th November and were heartily welcomed by Moderates as well
as Democrats.
As the result of a commission appointed to inquire into the rise in the
price of grain, the Governor-General has issued orders prohibiting the export
of grain from the Kerman province and contemplates importing wheat from
Sistan. He is also actively exerting himself to organise a motor service
between Kerman and Isfahan to be extended later to Duzdab if the necessary
capital can be raised.
As the Governor-General did not feel his position strong enough to
restore to Haji Mirza Ali Mohomed the Wakf properties taken from his
charge last year, he has referred him to the civil courts for redress.
In spite of the efforts of the Russian Consul and the Governor-General to
prevent it, the anniversary of the Russian bombardment of Meshed was
observed by a large percentage of the population.
Notices under the signature of Hasan Khan Mujtabazada, Persian clerk
of the Russian Consulate, have been posted up in Bam inciting the labouring
classes to rise against their masters, kill

General and to His Majesty’s Consul and the former has lodged a protest at
the Russian Consulate.
