Slave trciffic. —The total number of slaves shipped across to the Arab
Coast, for sale was, according to reports, 37. A slave from Persian
Baluchistan sought refuge in the office of the British Agent, Gwadur, during
the year under report. He left for Karachi at his own expense.
Wrecks. —In November dhow " Ganjam Padarat " from Cutch with
a cargo of 2,000 bags of dried dates loaded at Al-Qatif arrived at Jask in
a water-logged condition. The Officer Commanding Persian Troops ille
gally disposed of some of the contents but a considerable quantity was
recovered later by the Officer-in-Charge Jask telegraph sub-division. I he
latter was instructed by the Hon'ble the Political Resident in the Persian
Gulf to whom the matter was referred, to sell the dhow and cargo and to
utilise,the proceeds thereof to meet the repatriation expenses, etc., of the
crew who left for India by the steamer calling at Jask on the 7th Decembei.
Visits. —Sir Auriel Stein, K.C.I.E., of the Indian Archaeological
Department visited Gwadur and the neighbourhood in the month of
January and left for Mekran.
A bolition of the Capitulations. —Since the abolition of the Capitulations
in Persia, the position of the British Indian traders and subjects on the
Persian Mekran Coast has become very difficult. The only court available
is that of Sirdar Din Mohamed, Governor of Charbar, which is not properly
constituted. Din Mohamed himself is implicated in many of the cases and
owes considerable sums of money to the British Indian merchants who fear
reprisals if they apply to the court at Bandar Abbas. Moreover the treat
ment of British Indian Subjects by Persian officials has undergone a marked
change for the worse. A respectable British Indian merchant the head oi
the local Punchayet was assaulted by a Customs Munshi, and an attempt
was made to coerce and imprison one Peeral for alleged smuggling wit oj.it
any proper enquiry. There is a general feeling that British iniluence ib
dwindling and as a result great difficulty is being experienced m getting
both Persians and Baluchis to honour their bonds and in other ways to come
to terms with our subjects to whom they owe money.
