With reference to the last sentence of my telegram No. 5, the Foreign Office
are not able to give their consent to the proposal made.
Telegram No. n, dated (and received) the 17th February 1913.
From—His Majesty : s Minister, Tehran,
To—His Majesty’s Consul, Kerman.
Referring to my telegram No. 5, His Majesty’s Government have been
unable to see their way to making any special advance for the administrative
purposes of Kerman.
I shall continue to urge upon the Treasurer General the importance of
furnishing the money required whenever funds come to hand.
Telegram No. 12, dated iSth February 1913.
From—His Majesty’s Consul, Kerman,
To—His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran.
With reference to your telegram No. 10. Would it be impossible to indue e
the Foreign Office to reconsider their decision? The measure proposed would
have a decidedly restraining effect on the Bakhtiari, and quiet the anxieties of
those who are not rebellious, and at the same time it would strengthen our
prestige within our own sphere of influence. If it is not adopted, accusations of
injustice will later be brought forward and we shall find ourselves obliged either
to condemn the Governor General or to support him without sufficient knowledge.
Lecoffre is ready to furnish Steward with some tumans 5,000 with which to
grease the wheels, and clear up minor cases of injustice. We should also acquire
knowledge incidentally of the country and the people which is a distinct desidera
tum in this office.
I saw Lecoffre again yesterday, and his good sense and reasonableness con
tinue to impress me. He hopes shortly, as soon as the Bank specie has arrived,
to be able to provide the funds necessary for starting for the Governor. From
independent sources it is known that the latter is arranging in the districts for the
supply of transport. Up to the present he and Lecoffre sing each other s
praises, though of course with reservation.
