No. 289).
Governor-General is of opinion that if returning Gendarmerie column is
not attacked on road up they should not experience very great difficulty in
restoring order at Kazerun and in recapturing Rahdar, &c., from Ali
Muhammad. He points out, however, that recent outbreak was due in great
measure to tactless proceedings of Gendarmerie at Kazerun after departure of
main body, and he considers it essential to be represented there by agent in
whom he and all parties concerned can have confidence. He proposes, there
fore, to despatch Darya Begi to Kazerun immediately with small force of 100
cavalry and 200 infantry. Darya Begi will assist in arranging local situation,
and will support Gendarmerie in every possible way. He has personal relations
with Ismail Khan of Pul Abginph and hopes to he able to secure restoration of
that place to Gendarmerie without fighting. Only difficulty in way of under
taking is lack of arms, and he has asked me to request XJggla to supply him
with 300 old rifles now discarded by Gendarmerie and some ammunition. It is
proposed that the 200 infantry shall proceed to Bushire, after matters are
arranged at Kazerun, to be placed at disposition of Governor, Gulf Ports.
I propose to consult TJggla on subject this evening and ascertain his
views.
