He appears to be friendly and! on paying his first official call to H. B. M.
Consul was not slow in declaring his pro-British tendencies.
Lincfah. —Mir Jafar, Debir-i-Akram, the Deputy Governor was dismissed on
the 21st March and gave over charge to Hisam-uI-Wazura the Karguzar on pro
ceeding to Tehran.
He was succeeded on the 14th July by Agha Wathiq-i-Hnzoor who held the
post till the 7th November when he was relieved by the present incumbent Alt
Akbar Khan* Movaqqir-ul-Mulk.
Debir-i-Akram was a weak and vacillating official.
Ali Akbar Khan is 26 years of age and is described by ; our Consular Agent
as u carrying a grey head on green shoulders y '.
Minah. —Qaid Muhammad Ali Khan continued to officiate as Deputy Gover
nor till the 13th January when he was relieved by one of Salar-i-Nizam's satellites
Sheikh Abdul Ali. Sheikh Abbas, a former Deputy Governor, took over charge
on January 27th and remained in office till the 22nd June.
Sheikh Abdul Ali already referred to and Mirza Eeza Khan officiated in turn
till the arrival on the 30th August of the new Deputy Governor Agha Salar-i-
Ihtesham who held the appointment till the end of the year.
The acting arrangements at Minab were made to serve Salar-i-Nizam's pri
vate interests.
The appointment has now been separated from the Bandar Abbas admini
stration and transferred to the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Gulf Ports.
The present incumbent, Agha Salar-i-Ihtesham, promises to do well and a
marked improvement in the condition of the Minab district generally has been
observed since he arrived-there.
The claims and grievances of British Indian traders have received greater
attention and the present Deputy Governor appears anxious to work in Co-opera
tion with H. B. M. Consulate.
Kishm Island. —The appointment of a Governor of the Islands in the Persian
Oulf with headquarters on Kishm Island and under the direct control of the Cen
tral Government was created as an experiment in March, 1924.
The first incumbent, Mirza Ahmed Khan, Mushar-i-Afkham, arrived from
Tehran and took over his duties at Kishm Island on the 23rd March, but resigned
after-a very short stay and left for the Persian Capital via Bushire on the 15th
May.
The post was abolished on account of the Mejliss refusing to vote the necessary
funds for its maintenance.
The administration of the Islands then reverted to the jurisdiction of the
Deputy Governor of Bandar Abbas.
Karguzar ate.
Bandar Ahbas. —Sadid-es-Sultaneh continued to hold office throughout the
year. Harmonious relations were steadily maintained between the Karguzarate
and H. B. M. Consulate.
Agha Sadid although friendly enough is neither a firm competent official. He
is evidently afraid of the steady nationalist intrigue prevalent in this district,
while very fond of intrigue himself.
His secret reports to Tehran are generally incorrect and exaggerated.
Lingah.—Agha, Hisam-el-Wazareh remained in office throughout the year.
He proceeded on two months' leave to Bushire in August and September, the prin
cipal object of his visit to the Chief Karguzar at headquarters being to consoli
date his position at Lingah.
Agha Hisham-el-Wazareh is a wily individual, corrupt and disolute, and may
be described as ' degenerate '.
Although assuring H. B. M. Consul on his visit to Lingah at the end of 1923
that better relations between himself and the
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
would be cultivated in
future, he has persisted in his obstructive and evasive tractics when British
cases are referred to his Court.
A change of the present Karguzar at Lingah is called for in the interests
pf both the Persian Goyetnment and ourselves.
