. 1920.
This plan for concerted action, however, did not materialize, acj orders
were issued by Government prohibiting any action which meant the expen-
diturejl of more money or which might possibly lead to further commitments as
it had been decided that the force was to be evacuated in the spring Thus
the only action taken by our forces was the occasional bombing mentioned
above, though the South Persian Eifles advance parties actually left Shiraz.
Owing to the reports received of the harsh treatment meted out to the
prisoners by Asaf-ul-Mulk and in the hope of encouraging the people of Dashti
to come in and make terms, which they would not do to Aeaf-ul-Mulk the
latter was persuaded to have the Khans brought into Bushire, and handed over
to the Military authorities for detention. The invitation to the Syeds and other
leadmg men of Dashti to come and discuss terms, which were the release of
jLhans if suitable guarantees for the payment of revenue were forthcoming
was not accepted and the Khans were after a month's detention handed back
to Asaf-ul-Mulk.
The arrival of the Shah and the resignation of Asaf-ul-Mulk in May was
•eized as a good opportunity to end an unsatisfactory position. Bv Roval
demency the Khans were released and sent back to Dashfci. Later on the
inhabitants of Dashti were ordered to choose their Zabit, and Husain Khan
having been chosen, was appointed Zabit of Dashti by Salar Nusrat who had
succeeded Asaf-ul-Mulk as Deputy Governor. One of the first acts of Salar
Nusrat was to turn Mohamed Khan out of Ahram, but as this was done
distance of"th^Residerfcy! an money wa3 "appointed at the
, , fheikh, Hussain became bold and attempted to capture Chabkutah
but failed and remained in a garden near by. His Excellenc/ the Darya Bed
tried to organise the tofangchis of the Loc al Khans but faiJed and asked for
the help of regular troops.
Arrangemwits were made with the South Persian Rifles who sent down a
column from Kaserun to reinforce the Borazjun detachment, the column
making a remarkable forced march from Kazerun to Boraziun. On the nirfit
of July 21-22nd a column of 100 infantry. 50 cavalry and i Austrian gun
made a night march from Borazjun and attacked Sheikh Hussain at dawn
The attack was completely successful and reflects great credit on Captain
Munn the Officer Commanding and the men of the South Persian Rifle.
Sheikh Hussain and one of his sons were killed and the rebels' casualties
amounted to over 20 killed and many wounded, while the South Persian
Rifles casualties were 13 in all, of which 4 were killed and one died of wounds
The co-operation of the local tofangehis which had been arranged was conspi-
cuous by its absence. Thus one of the rebel Khans was removed and Za r
Khidher soon afterwards wrote in to the Darya Begi saying that if he went to
Ahram to settle his affairs he would abide by his orders and would allow two
of his sons to go into Bushire as hostages. These negotiations were put an end
S the Dary e a W Be 0 gi e api,0mtment of ^owaqqar-ed-Dowleh and the dismissal
In October Zair Kbidher who had remained quietly at Khaviz came down
and occupied the village of Ahram. Mohamed Khan left the fort with a few
t0 :Bushlre t0 P lea<1 for support. He was told to
go back at one® otherwise he would no longer be supported by the Residencv
as Zabit. Meanwhile Zair Khidber made no effort to take the fort. Mohamed
Khan hung about Bnshire and did not go back to Abram. Salar Nusrat was
then sent to Ahram to put his own representative in the fort so that neither
Zair Khidher or Mohamed Khan should occupy it, the Question tn romn :,,
rTu-A'! tlle arrival of Mowaqqar-ed-Dowleh in Bushire who would
settle the Zabitship one way or the other.
Matters remained thus till the end of the year as there was no sign of
Mowaqqar-ed-Dowleh moving from Teheran, Mohamed Khan had forfeited
all sympathy on the part of the
