accept Amir Jang as lllbegi.”
Kennion telegraphs to Tehran, 5th December : —
Since the blow struck by Russians on 27th November, rebel force
scattered. Many Burs and gendarmes deserted altogether. A few Bakhtiari
also left, some of whom passing through CHarlang limits were deprived of
their arms.
Rebels, including Bakhtiari, have now again collected about Kazaz
^ ostensibly awaiting) Turkish reinforcements, and in the meantime
plundering the country. .
Hojabi)|s Sultaneh has succeeded in bringing the Mo^ioi section to
his side and his attitude generally has been of value in preventing the
spread of rebel movement. Amir Mofakham in retaliation seized Hojabr^’s
brother, who was on the way to Tehran for medical treatment, and holds
him prisoner at Areh. Ilojabr^ asked for squadron of Cossacks and one gun
to help him in attack on Areh, but the request has been refused.
“ As Hojabr^ is also threatened by Mazha^id Dowleh from Silakhor/
it will be difficult for him to send a contingent at present to join Russian
troops.
“ Russians are sending troops shortly to clear Araq when I expect
situation will improve.
“ Enemy force at Douletabad reported under 100 Turks and some
Kermanshah gendarmes.
“ At Di|abad, about 150 with a gun.
“ Reported from Kermanshah that hundreds of sick are being transported
there from Hamadan. Disease appears to be dysentery.”
Kennion further telegraphed to Tehran on 7th :—“It is reported that much
barley and wheat is being sent to Khanikin frcm Hamadan, and on 9th
reports that 13 men had been accused of conspiracy to murder Nizam, and
some have been arrested.”
