*fcid the Belgian* were alwaye under auspicion by the Persian
government, Re told me that if a report had been sent of
ttus kind, it probably referred to the visit of an * ir
regular aoldier " ( Chagai Levy ?) named, he thought,
Yakub Khan to Duzdap in Persian territory, where some
Oustoms* employes are stationed. According to X*
Bottieau, this individual executed a m fanfarronade * at
Duzdap and refused to pay passport fees. On the matter
being reported to M, Bottieu, he had ordered that on this
man’s next visit to Duzdap, if he again refused to pay, he
should be arrested, M, Bottieau added that any complaint
made by himslef to his departmental heads would as a matter
of course have been accompanied by a Proces Verbal showing
precisely what the offence alleged was and substantiating
m it with whatever proofs were forthcoming.
Prom the wording of the reports sent to you by the
Persian Government and their vagueness, I imagine they must
have come from a Persian source and were probably merely
the outcome of a desire of some ignorant Persian Customs’
employe to exhibit his zeal.
