Enclosure No. 1.
1 91 v
Telegram V., No. 55-K., dated the 8th (received vid Rohat on 11th) August 1911.
From—His Britannic Majesty’s Consul for Seistan and Kain,
To—The Foreign Secretary, Simla.
It is reported tliat Hashmat-ul-Mulk is proposing to start towards Sarhad
in a few days with a force of some 2,000 men, the alleged object bein^ to
recover from Baluchi Sarhad the loot taken by them from kain. The Russian
Consul and I are making joint enquiry from him as to scope of his expedition,
and unless I hear to the contrary I am warning him that we cannot view with
indifference military operations so close to our frontier, as these may be likely
to cause disturbances to spread to tribes on British side of border.
Repeated to Agent to the Governor-General, Quetta, as No. 56-K., and as
No. 55-K. to Eoreign Department, Simla, and addressed to Tehran, No. 61.
Eollowing for Eoreign Department, Simla, only :—
It might perhaps be well to warn Officer Commanding, Kacha, to be on
the alert in the event of disturbances or infringement of tract
south of Koh-i-Malik Siah.
Enclosure No. 2.
Telegram P., No. 60-K., dated (and received) the 15th August 1911.
From—His Britannic Majesty’s Consul, Seistan,
To—The Foreign Secretary, Simla.
My telegrams Nos. 61 and 62, dated 8th and 14th August. I now hear
that emissary from Hashmat-ul-Mulk has arrived at Kacha, where he is
engaged ostensibly in recovering property looted from Kain, Another
emissary of the Hashmat is looting innocent Baluchis on same pretence in
neighbourhood of Koh-i-Malik Siah. 1 believe that these measures have been
taken by the Hashmat without Persian Government’s permission, and that
they are simply an extension in a new direction of his previous robberies.
It is eminently undesirable that he should he permitted to extend his opera
tions into British territory, and I would suggest the immediate arrest of
emissary at Kacha named Nazar Jan and all his followers on suspicion of
brigandage. It is known that Nazar Jan has taken prominent share in Kain
robberies^ He could be detained until enquiries have been made regarding
the authority and objects of his mission. In any case, I strongly deprecate
that any prisoners, camels or other property be permitted to leave British
territory under this man’s charge. In event of any looted property being
recovered I could inform the Governor of Kain who would send his own men
to identify it and take it over. Kindly inform the Government of India if you
agree with these views.
Addressed Tehran No. 63, and repeated to Simla.
Enclosure No. 3.
Telegram P., No. S.—475, dated the 17th August 1911.
From—The Foreign Secretary, Simla,
To—The Hon'ble the Agent to the Governor-General in Baluchistan.
His Britannic Majesty’s Consul, Seistan, telegraphs as follows on the 15th
August“ My telegrams * * * * to Simla.” Please report as to the
facts of the case. If they are as stated, Nazar Jan and his party should be
expelled immediately from British territory, and he should not be permitted to
take away any persons or property that may have been seized by him m
British limits.
