From—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political
Department, Simla,
To—The Secretary to the Government of Bombay, Political Department, Bombay.
Please refer to Foreign and Political Department's telegram of 20tli
August, No. S. 855. Have the Karguzar and his brother, the Governor of
Bushire, arrived at Bombay ? Please report. We should like to receive views
of the Bombay Government as to suitable place of residence for them. Govern
ment of India are prepared to consider Governor's wishes in the matter in

Telegram P., No. 500 C., dated the 27th (received 28th) August 1915.
From—M ajor A. P. T revoe , C.I.E., Officer on Special Duty in the Persian Gulf,
Bushire,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Simla.
Please refer to my telegram No. 410 C.
The Karguzar, whose original intention was to accompany his brother, the
ex-Governor of Bushire, to England or India now informs me that the state of
his finances will not permit him to do so, and enquires whether he may be
allowed to proceed via Ahwaz-Ispahan route up country. When Governor of
Bushire left, Karguzar stayed behind in order to settle up affairs in connection
with disposal of property, &c. I do not suppose there will be any objection
to his adopting proposed plan ? Karguzar further states that three months*
leave had been given him by Minister for Foreign Affairs; this statement
is, I believe, correct, and Karguzar now asks me to give him advance of pay
for three naonths. I have, however, refused to accede to his request as he can
draw his pay direct from Tehran if he remains in Persia.
Addressed Tehran ; repeated Basrah,

Shiraz telegram No. 293, August 26th:— Begins. Reference Bushire
telegram No. 490 C.
I venture to submit my views on general situation for consideration.
Condition of affairs at and near Borasjun is obviously intolerable and its
continuance threatens to involve Kashgai and other tribes from further (?)
inland. Immediate punishment of expedition would undoubtedly be most
satisfactory method of dealing with situation, but as pointed out by Your
Excellency in your telegram No. 105 to Government of India aggressive
action on our part at this moment would almost certainly set whole of
Southern Persia in a blaze and would certainly render position of British
subjects (in) Shiraz and perhaps at Ispahan very precarious.
