our objection to the removal of the Hashmat-ul-Mulk on condition that he
was suitably provided for elsewhere ; that Persian Government give a promise
in writing that they will recall the Yamin-i-Nizam on the withdrawal of the
Mission; and that they will appoint and keep there a strong Governor to be
approved by us. I should also like to include in proposed arrangement a
satisfactory settlement at Tehran of the Mirjawa question {vide McMahon’s
secret memorandum of 5th November 1904—enclosure of Secretary’s weekly
letter No. 48 M., dated 1st December. If all these objects could be attained
at once, we should be able definitely to promise a very early withdrawal of
Colonel McMahon’s Mission, while Persian Government would have an oppor
tunity of acting in accordance with the assurance contained in penultimate
paragraph of Grant Duff’s letter of 26th October last. Addressed to His
Majesty’s Secretary of State for India, and repeated to His Britannic Majesty’s
Minister, Tehran.

28th November 1904, Comp Reg-i-Mori.—I received a telegram yesterday
from the Political Assistant, Chagai, reporting that theThanadar at Padaha had
telegraphed, saying that the Governor of Khwash had gone to Saindak to
despatch a telegram to Bam. The Thanadar of Saindak had apparently
threatened to arrest him, whereupon he had returned to Mirjawa in great wrath,
burnt nearly all the bhoosa which I had bought and collected there, and ordered
that our Padaha post should no longer be allowed to take their drinking water
from Mirjawa, and all trespassers into Mirjawa should be arrested. Hie Political
Assistant, Chagai, requests me to settle this matter with the Persian authorities,
as the only water available for our Padaha post lies a mile within what the
Persians claim as their territory. A subsequent report to me direct from the
Thanadar, Padaha, shows that he sent two sowars as escort with the Governor
of Khwash to Saindak; but notwithstanding this, the Thanadar there threatened
to arrest that officer. I sent Captain Ramsay to interview the Yamin, and tell
him that I reserved action as regards the matter of bhoosa until I received fuller
information; but, as regards water, &c., he should order the Governor of
Khwash to do nothing to interfere with the present status quo, pending our
arrival in Mirjawa and the settlement of that frontier. The Yamin promptly
wrote the necessary orders, and asked Captain Ramsay to have the letter sent
by our post and delivered to the Governor of Khwash through our Thanadar at
Padaha.
