In continuation of this office telegram No. 1081 dated 17th June 1913, I
have the honour to forward, for the information of the Government of India, a
copy of the telegram marginally noted,
No. 83 da^ed 2 nd July iqis* which has since been received from His
Majesty's Consul at Kerman, with regard to the robbery of a large caravan in
the vicinity of Daulatabad on the Bandar Abbas-Kerman road.
Telegram R., No. 83 dated (and received) 2nd July 1913.
From—His Majesty Consul, Kerman,
To—His Britannic Majesty's Minister, Tehran. (Repeated Resident. Bushire,
No. in.)
My telegram No. 69-92,
Governor-General assures me that robbery was committed by Pars robbers
in Pars territory and says that, out of love tor us, he telegraphed to Tehran and
Shiraz, wrote to Kawam, and sent sowars to Ali Knan, Ahmadi, who with
Ali Riza Khan, Tarmi, appears to be responsible. He urges me to move His
Majesty’s Consul at Shiraz to press Pars Government.
At present the Eastern Rug Company estimates its losses at about 94,000
Tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
, but there is a rumour that all except horses loads were at one time safe
at Daulatabad. Company has sent out investigators.
I would suggest that Persian Government be pressed to send urgent instruc
tions both to Pars and Kerman Governments to take immediate action. Gov
ernor-General of Kerman might be ordered to move in force against the robbers
whether or not in Pars territory, Pars Government if necessary bearing the
expense.
Continued absence of Governor-General is undesirable in view of recurrent
Baluchi raids and present lack of proper Governor in Town.
