Complaints were made about tbis, and we told Colonel Yale that, if he were satisded that Sw
NaZz Khan was a party to the despatch of his men, the d,sp ensure of Government was to be
fonveved to him. Sir Nauroz disclaims all knowledge of the fact; says the men must have
been Lnt by bis Naib at Ladgasht, and promises to bring the latter to account and withdraw
his men. . .
The Deputy Governor has attacked several forts, and there have been many casualties on
both sides. Several Jalk people, among whom is Jihand Khan, Damam, have taken refuge in
Mashkhel'to escape the oppressions of the Deputy Governor and his troops. Our latest news
is that the Deputy Governor having run short of ammunition, has been compelled to retire from
Jalk without having reduced the people to obedience or realised his revenue demands *
Madad Khan, brother of Sardar Abdulla Khan, has attacked Mirza Muhammad the Belgian
Customs officer, near Kalagan. Three of the Mirza’s men were shot dead the Mirza himself
was wounded, and his camels and belongings fell into the hands of Madad Khan.
Trouble seems to be impending, too, at Kuhak. Formerly there was a Persian Kotwal
in charge of the place. During the past summer, according to information furnished to Major
Sykes by the Governor-General of Kerman, the Kotwal was turned out and Mir Ghulam
Muhammad, who professes to be a British subject and under this excuse has long been a thorn
in the side of the authorities of Persian Baluchistan, came to the fort and took possession.
Wali Khan, the Governor of Persian Baluchistan, reported to the Governor-General of Kerman
that about 2,000 people had congregated round Kuhak, and he feared complications; and
he added that, if Mir Ghulam Muhammad was not a British subject, he would go with troops
and eject him. We telegraphed to the Political Resident, Bushire on the 26th October,
requesting him to authorise Major Sykes to tell the Governor-General that, if Ghulam Muham
mad disobeys the orders of the Persian authorities, he may be expelled.

We have also heard from Mr. Newcome Wilson who visited
Kuhalc in the middle of the summer of 1903 that the Khan said
that six Russians had recently visited Kuhak and that they did
not the Central persian line to travel by that route. Recent
reports further state that the P. A., Kalat and the A. P. A.,
Chagai, state that a person disguised as a fakir or as a man of
florid complexion has been moving along to Diask, Surkur and
Kuhak districts and making surveys*
