sor was much delayed.

and he carried on till 31st August, when His Excellency 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. -i-Intisar

Russian also. His last appointment was at Kermanshah where he was
Governor. As a man 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. -i-Intisar is pleasant, easy to deal with, and is
obliging so far as it does not clash with his ciffilcial duty. At the same time
he appears to be a strong man. He takes interest in Municipal affairs and
is pushing through the new reforms vigorously. He holds some influence
at Tehran due to the fact that his brother Doctor Amir Khan Aslam is the
Shah's physician. His relations with the Consulate General have so far been
excellent.

Sadid-as-Saltaneh was appointed Assistant Governor of Gulf Ports from
23rd September.
The old cases pending in Karguzari were referred to the Governor, but
with scant satisfaction, as three Governors were appointed in quick succes
sion during the year and none of them took much interest in judicial
matters.
3. Officer Commanding. —Yaawar Amanullah Khan held the appoint
ment till 19th August when he was relieved by Yawar Muhammad Taqi Khan
Arab who served in the South Persia Rifles during the Great War, and knows
a little English. He is well disposed towards the Consulate-General and
prefers to be approached direct and not through the Governor.
4. Finance Department. —Abdullah Khan Munajjami arrived from
Tehran and took over charge from Mirza Hasan Khan Farhad (Matin-us-
Sultan) on the 18th March. His general attitude has been anti-British and
at times he has gone out of his way to raise difficulties for the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. .
He is disliked by both Persian officials and non-officials on account of his
boorishness, rough treatment, and the unnecessary hitches he raises in pay
ing bills sanctioned by higher authorities. As long as Firuz Mirza is Fin
ance Minister, Tehran, this protege of his is not likely to be removed from
Bushir^,
