(5) Ismail Khan of Shabankareh and Muhammad Khan, Kashkuli
against Agha Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. of Khisht and other Khisht elements sup
ported by the Daliki Khans.

Kashgai Kalanfars and Kawam-ul-Mulk.
Mukhbir-es-Sultaneh announced, in December, that he had appointed the
Governor of the Gulf Ports to the governance of Dashti and Dashtistan, but
the latter declined to accept the responsibility unless provided with a force for
maintaining his authority in collecting revenue. Meanwhile the Governor
General's communications and his attitude towards local Khans betrayed such
ignorance of the elementary facts of the situation as to occasion much scornful
comment amongst local notables who showed no disposition to co-operate.
The Nizam-es-Sultaneh, whose doings are related in the Mohammerah
Administration Report, has not figured in the local politics of Ears during the
year under report: the proscription against him was removed, at the interven
tion of His Majesty^ Legation, in M arch, and he shortly afterwards pledged his
Ears properties (Khisht 6 dang, Daliki 3 dang, Zirah 3 dang, Nabardeh
o dang) to Shaikh Khazal of Mohammerah. The latte^ endeavoured to collect
the revenues of these districts, but with only partial success. The revenue
of the village of Zirah above mentioned in the district of the same name, had
een pledged together with other lands to the Russian Bank in Tehran by the
JNizam, and was one of the items redeemed by the Imperial Bank of Persia,
under circumstances detailed in the Mohammerah report.
The Turko-Italian and Turko-Balkan wars, though thev evoked manifesta
tions ox platomc sympathy on the Arab side of the Gulf, aroused but little
interest on the Persian littoral, the population of which is almost exclusively
