AND THE MASKAT POLITICAL
AGENCY
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
FOR THE YEAR 1907-1908.

back of the Shahab. Large forces were supposed to be underarms, though
the number given were probably fictitious, but the reinforcement of the
Sampam by the Salar Arfa returned from Europe, and Yusuf Khan from
Tehran, and his own fears, proved too much for the ShahaVs valour and he
ignominously gave in in the 3rd week of June.
The reinstatement of the Samsam and Sbabab in their original positions

and Jlbegi, and the consequent exclusion from public affairs of the
Sarum, ensued in due course.
The Shuja-us-Sultan and ShnhaVs other brothers were little pleased ; but
the reconciliation though only formal has not up to the present been broken bv
any overt act.
Perhaps it is permissible to imagine that the Khans have for the
moment learnt wisdom from the course of their bickerings during the past two
or three years, which have secured neither party any permanent advantage and
have mulcted both heavily in cash presents made to the Ministers of Govern
ment in Tehran.
37. The
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 has remained absent in Europe throughout the
year, but the Salar Arfa, who had originally accompanied him, returned in
June.
Yusuf Khan and Murtaza Quli Khan bad arranged to proceed to Europe
in autumn, but only the last named eventually found himself free to go.
38. External affairs. Relations with the Sheikh of Muhammerah.—ThQ
relations of the Khans with Sheikh Khazal were on the whole good, showing
a distinct improvement on those of the preceding year. There is desire, or at
least willingness on both sides to replace contention by friendship, but the
Khans' want of unanimity among themselves precludes the possibility of a
definite and consistent attitude and policy, and this in conjunction with their
moral delinquencies renders the r61e of the second party to any agreement
difficult and ambiguous.
39. The Kuhgalu. —The year opened with a difference of opinon between
the Samsam and Shahab as to the policy to be pursued in regard to AH JNaqi
Khan, Chief of the Taibi Kuhgalu, and partisan of the Samsam.
Shortly afterwards occurred the fall of the Samsam, and robberies
within Bakhtiari territory by the followers of Ali Naqi ensued. In the end of
May, Saltan Ali Khan was despatched by the Shahab to take over the
Governorship of Behbahan. He had to contend against the influence of the
Samsam and his conduct does not appear to have been marked by much dis
cretion. He refused to recognise a local man of some importance, the Eath-d-
Agha, and this individual entered into league with Ali Naqi Khan.
In ^August, subsequent to the reconciliation of the Khans, he attempted to
seize Ali Naqi Khan by treachery when he had been induced to come in to
him, presumably on a bafe conduct.
Ali Naqi Khan and his followers were, however, ready for the emergency,
and a fight took place inside the precincts of the place of meeting, in which a
number of persons of both sides are said to have been killed. Ali Naqi's
person was secured, but he was released and allowed to go home. This action
greatly annoyed the Samsam and Salar Arfa and came near to creating a
breach among the Khans. Sultan Ali Khan was withdrawn in September.
40. It appears that the Khans had again set their minds on making
capital out of the lawlessness of the Kuhgalu. Claims for compensation on
account of the robberies on the road made by the Vice-Consul on behalf of
Messrs. Lynch Brothers were met with peremptory refusal, on the grounds that
the Persian Government having refused them sanction to pursue the Kuhgalu
into their own country they were powerless to prevent their incursions on to
the road, and they demanded that we should obtain this sanction for them
from the Government.
They also declared their willingness to take over the Governorship of the
Kuhgalu (Behbahan) were it freed from the overlordship of the Governor-
General of Ears.
