of the Staff again visited Bushire, and relieved Naib-Sarhang Ali Ashgar Khan

him by Naib Sarhang Muhammad Quli Khan Asad ( 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. Bahadur), a brother
of 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. Asad Bakhtiari. He investigated various charges of corrupt practices
and interference in civil matters against him, and left for Shiraz on the 17th
May, Ali Ashgar Khan following him two days later. Two other officers were
also relieved of their commands in Dashti on charges of blackmailing and ex
tortion and were recalled to Shiraz. In July Naib Sarhang Ali Ashgar Khan
was reduced to Yawar as a punishment, and the other officers from Dashti were
also suitably punished. Yawar Ali Ashgar Khan had not been generally un
friendly to British officials while in Bushire, though he had been hostile at times,
but no one regretted his departure. His successor, on the contrary, is profoundly
pro-British, having been educated at Forest School, Essex. He is a very agree
able gentleman, with whom there has been no difficulty of any kind since his
arrival. He lias a certain amount of influence due partly to his family, partly
to his wealth and partly to his brother being one of the Ministry, and he has im
proved the discipline of the Bushire troops out of all knowledge.
