for 1906-1907.
44. Thereafter the Salar projected coming down with the Sagwand of Fazil
Khan and Hassan Gridaw, as an escort, to Saimara and Ja'idar, and in February
there were circumstantial reports of his presence at Qilab and of his immediate
intention of raiding Arabistan. The official authorities however now describe
these reports as "canards."
The Salar is said to have recently taken to wife a daughter of the Fath i Sul
tan, of the Dilfan who was formerly his arch-enemy. The latest rumours, which
probably carry back to the events of March, make out that he has gone to Tarhon,
the Fath i Sultan's head-quarters, and that in view of the enmity of the authori
ties is contemplating a retreat into
Turkish Arabia
A term used by the British officials to describe the territory roughly corresponding to, but not coextensive with, modern-day Iraq under the control of the Ottoman Empire.

Mukarram received a telegram in

was demanding—a sufficiency of
troops, and financial assistance.
46. The Sagwand. —Fazil Khan and Hassan Gidaw on the return to power of
their old patron the Salar ud Daulah quitted Arabistan to attach themselves to
him. Early in 1907 however they found their hopes disappointed, and Hassan
Gidaw declared his intention of deserting the Salar and coming down to Arabistan,
which he did.

at Shushter in May and accepting employment
from him, but the results on the whole have been satisfactory and the alternative
of remaining liable to the stigma of being a rebel, would have had serious conse

The visit was repeated again in January. He remains unaltered in his desire
to obtain employment in our service.
47. No noticeable displacement of power amonc: the tribes of Luristan appears
to have taken place during the year; unless it be the absorption of the section of
Sagwand which formerly followed the leadership of Mihr Ali Khan.
48. External. —Correspondence has been kept up during the year with the
Khurramabad Merchant Mirza Ali Akbar. He has been employed as Agent by
Messrs. Lynch Brothers who have sent him, from time to time, goods via Ispahan
for sale on commission. He has on several occasions complained of tampering
with letters on the part of the Persian Post Office and reference was made by this
Vice-Consulate to the Legation at the instance of Messrs. Lynch Brothers. Lately
since the return of the Salar ud Daulah, he has fallen on evil times and has gone to
Tehran where Messrs. Lynch Brothers, and eventually the Legation, have moved
in his favour. ♦
49. No progress has been made with the question of the Dizful-Khurramabad
Road, and the idea of instituting a temporary caravan route via Pusht i Kuh and
Saimara, having been regarded with disfavour by His Britannic Majesty's Govern
ment, has been abandoned.
Commercial commimication between the provinces of Iraq and Arabistan has
remained entirely intercepted.
50. The awakening of interest on the part of Russians in this part of the coun
try has been notified by the appointment of a
native Agent
Non-British agents affiliated with the British Government.
at Khurramabad.
Mirza Abdul Ali, Kermanshahi, the Agent appointed, came from Kermanshah,
and tlhe post is probably supervised by the Russian Consul at the latter place.
In the middle of December a Russian visited Burujird. Various conjectures
v^ere current as to the objects of his visit, the most probable being that he had come
to examine the local conditions in connection with a possible extension of the
Kazvin-Hamadan Road to Burujird.
