Telegraphs, Karachi.
I have the honour to submit a brief report on tbe condition of the country
between Biyaban and Eabu tor tbo year 1918. ^
B itaban D istrict.
Mir Barkat has been Kalantar of this district throughout tbe year A
considerable amount of ill-feeling exists between the Tahirzais ?nd the' Mirs
of Biyaban owing to blood feuds. Mir Barkat had written in May savino- that
the former were quite willing to have matter referred to Shara but thai ft was
necessary that some high official should be present to enforce the decision.
On the 2nd of August 1918 news was received that tbe Tahirzais had
surrounded the house of Saiyid Abdur Eahim of Eiyaban with intention to kill
him and in his absence shot his brother-in-law.
On 13th October 1918 Colonel Gregson arrived at Jask but Mir Barkat,
who had been asked to come there and lay his grievances before him, did not
have an interview, as he would not come "into the limits, baring taken an oath
that he would never enter the limits as some years previously he had been
taken prisoner there and handed to tbe Persian authorities.
As far as can be ascertained nothing has yet been settled.
On the 18th August 1918, report was received that three Turks had left
Sih for Biyaban via Bampur and Eudbar ; they were lost sight of after leaving
the latter place. On the 2nd December 1918, it was reported that they had
visited Barkat but where they went to subsequently not know r n.
Nothing else of importance has occurred in this district during this year.

The district continues to be administered by Mir Mustafa Khan and the
condition has generally throughout the year been satisfactory. On the 19th
of September a fracas took place between the Sunnis and Shias, but a settle
ment was brought about, the principal offender on either side being punished,
the former with imprisonment and the latter with a fine.
Mir Hoti of Jask has very little influence in the district, gives us no
trouble and does his best to look to our interests in the place.

of this district is Hussain Khan. He is still very young and
headstrong. At first his uncle Mudat Khan was guardian but in June, owing
to Mudat Khan squandering most of the revenue, Hussain Khan asked
Mahmud Khan of Panooch to be his guardian and look to his interests. This,
of course, caused a deal of ill-feeling, and Mudat Khan claimed half the Gaih
district, producing a bond containing Hussain Khan's seal to this effect. It is
said that the bond was forcibly obtained at the time Hussain Khan lef«'/ the fort
to attend the funeral ceremony of Islam Khan and on his return found the
fort occupied by Azam Khan, son of Mudat Khan, and admittance w r as refused.
After the bond had been sealed, Mudat Khan and his son evacuated the fort
and built another a short distance away. When Mahmud Khan took over the
guardianship, Mudat Khan arranged with Mir Hoti of Lashar to drive Hussain
Kban out. The attempt proved unsuccessful, the casualties being very small.
Mir Din Muhammad of Dashtiari, who is fast Ijecoming the most powerful chief
in these parts, gave Mudat Khan his moral support, and is doing his best to
get a share in the governing of Gaih district, and tried to arrange a marriage
between his daughter and Hussain Khan so as to have an excuse to enter
Gaih but up to date the matter has not been settled.

This district was under the joint administration of Sahib Kban (brother of
Islam Khan) and Yahya Khan until a few days ago when Sahib Khan
