Enclosure No. 8.
Copy of a telegram from the Director, Persian Section, Tehran, to His Britannic Majesty's
Consul, Sistan, No. 255—4, dated the 9th May 1916.
Ali Shah and his sowars are not really departmental employees. Sowars
were originally provided by the Persian Government at our request in 1909 to
protect lines in 7th Sub-Section, but as the Governor of Bam did not pay
them regularly local representations resulted in Persian Government paying
them through departmental Superintendent at Kerman. Prom all accounts
Ali Shah appears to be an undesirable person to have reinstated in his former
position and departmentally we might be better ^ served by someone else. If
the Persian Government were to raise the question of his reinstatement with
Minister here, I would, if asked, express above opinion. Reference regarding
department having given him land at Sipeh not understood. Can you tell me
when gift was made, by whom and under what authority please ?
Enclosure No. 9.
Copy -of a telegram from His Britannic Majesty's Consul, Sistan, to Mr. Dormer, Dehaneh
Baghi, dated the 11th May 1916.
Was it you or Gabler who told me that Ali Shah and his tribe were install
ed at Sipeh in succession to a former chieftain who had not given satisfaction
and that the lands were given only for as long as he continued to be Line
Guard ?
Is this fact correct and can you tell me name of earlier chief and where
he has since gone to ? Please reply at once, if possible.
Enclosure No. 10.
Copy of telegram from Mr. Dormer, Dehaneh Baghi, to His Britannic Majesty's Consul,
Sistan, No. 290, dated the 11th May 1916.
It must have been Gabler who informed you. It would take long time to
trace records for information, but my Head Ghulam informs me Haider Khan
©f Pareh was first man to be paid for looking after lines. At time of
appointment he held land at Sipi and paid revenue to Wali Khan,
Governor of Bam and Narmashir. Binding that pay of appointment was
never forthcoming, he resigned, but continued cultivating land at Sipi
until Kamalan Surah, a nephew of Ali Shah, brought a lashkar against
him and forcibly turned him out. Subsequently the Persian Government
ordered Raafat-i-Nizam, Commander of the Bam Cavalry, to appoint a
chief to guard the lines. Ali Shah Khan was the result. The land at Sipi
was given to Ali Shah Khan free of revenue only so long as he remained
chief of the Line Guards.
Haider Khan is now at Pareh, but Kamalan Surab is dead.
I will endeavour to trace official correspondence on subject, but doubt
whether it will show much more than above.
Enclosure No. 11.
Copy of a message from the Trade Agent, Kuh Malik Siah, to His Britannic Majesty's
Consul for Sistan and Kain, No. 42, dated the 5th May 1916.
Jemadar Khan Muhammad gives following brief details of General Dyer's
operations in Sarhad, and alliance settlement with Sarhaddi Chiefs :—
On entering Sarhad, General Dyer marched on to Jehind’s place and
after a brief skirmish Jehind’s son and two well-known persons were killed
and Jehind surrendered soon : but before his surrender his property and houses
