Programme was to drive British out of Pars altogether, and to kill Consul,
and had It not been for the assistance rendered by the Kawam and his son it
must have succeeded. In my telegram No. 353, I have given a general outline
of the measures taken by them which have hitherto been a complete
success and have (been) (? our salvation) at least temporarily. As to
future we must continue to rely on support of Kawam and I hope of Soulet
j if we wish to remain Shiraz. The situation here is still far from satisfactory,
and the agitation would, were Kawam to withdraw his force, immediately
revive and our position would be made untenable. The friendly co-operation
of two Chiefs should, I therefore propose, continue to be invited and paid for.
Of the measures proposed and taken I will keep Minister fully informed.
Under the authority conveyed in your telegram No, 327 D. S. to Sir P.
Cox funds have hitherto been obtained by bill(s) (of exchange) on Bushire.
Except the last twenty thousand tomans which, at the request of Bank
Manager, I drew on Minister and have requested Minister to adjust the
amount in exchange with the Government of India. Accounts of all expendi
ture have been kept and will be submitted in accordance with your telegram
No. 774 S. Hoads are safe. Ends.
