Majesty's Consul for Seistan and Kain, No. 7, for the week ending 17th
February (received 4th March) 1912.
General Summary.
State of Frovinces. —The Shaukat-ul-Mulk has renewed his overtures to
the Chief of one of the “ Khels of the Seistani Brahui Baluchis to migrate
with his whole Khel to the Bainat, when the Shaukat promises to pay
Tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
12 per mensem to each able-bodied man. The Baluchis in question
are said to be anxious to accept this offer and are only restrained by fear of the
Hashmat-ul-Mulk.
A party of 8 Seistani Baluchis has left for the Kainat for looting pur
poses.
The Nasir-es-Saltaneh shows no signs of leaving Birjand although he has
received orders from the Minister for Foreign Affairs at Tehran to leave for
Seistan at once.
State of roads. —As usual.
Arms traffic. —One hundred camels laden with rifles are said to have passed
into Afghanistan via Budbar about a fortnight ago. It is probable that this
caravan is the same as that reported in my diary No. 5 for the week ending 3rd
February as consisting of 80 camels.
Eight Afghans (Nasirs) are reported to have left for Mekran to bring
rifles.
