Shahab-us-Sultaneh,
It will probably be found convenient in correspondence in the future to
refer to all chiefs by their personal names and I propose to do so in the
present report.
37. The following Khans wefe-e in Europe during the period ander
reive w:—
Haji Ali Kuli Khan, Yusuf Khan, Murteza Kuli Khan.
Occasion was taken by the first mentioned to complain to the Foreign
Office of the attitude of Captain Lorimer.
38. External Affairs. —The year opened with the conclusion of an im
portant agreement between the Khans and the Sheikh of Mohammerah. In
April, Haji Khasrau Khan, Ghulam Hussain Khan and Nasir Khan visited
Sheikh Khazal at Nasiri and proceeded with him to Failiya, and in the inter
vals of their gambling bouts time was found to arrange a treaty the terms
of which are given in an Appendix to this report.
The chief points aimed at are a defensive alliance against aggression on
the part of the Persian Government, and an agreement that neither party
should support the subjects of the other when in rebellion.
No very severe strain appears to have occurred to test the value of this
treaty, unless, as it is said, the Bakhtiaris have objected to the Sheikh's ac
cepting his relation Haji Saif-ud-Dowleh as Governor of Arabistan without
consulting them.
39. It is interesting to remark that in course of their visit to Failiya the
Khans were introduced to Sheikh Mubarak, whose acquaintance they put to
use to arrange for the purchase and smuggling into Persia of rifles. .Whether
the smuggling actually took place is however unknown.
40. The other principal feature of the year in the Khans' policy has been
their committing themselves to the unqualified support of the Shah's party in
the State.
Immediately after the achievement of the cowp d'etat in Tehran, and
no doubt in response to an invitation from the Shah, the Khans set about
raising a contingent for the service of their Royal master at the capital, and
eventually, in the end of July, Haji Khasrau Khan, Sultan Muhammad Khan,
Nasir Khan and Jafar Kuli Khan, eldest son of Haji Ali Khan, arrived in
Tehran with a force variously estimated as numbering from 600 to 1,000
sowars.
