to Bushire. Meanwhile Consul-General at Bushire has received letter from
O’Connor stating that Khans profess desire to be on best terms with us and
are ready to release him and other prisoners on following conditions:—
(1) Release of sixteen prisoners to be named by them.
(2) Return of tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. ten thousand belonging to Sheikh Hussein at
Imperial Bank of Persia, Bushire, and confiscated during the occupation and
release of tea valued at tomans 10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value. fifteen thousand for which Zair Khadar is
security.
(3) Assurance that Bushire-Shiraz road vid Borasjun be reopened for
traffic.
It will be noted that Khans do not demand full pardon and, in the
circumstances, I think that terms should he accepted leaving negotiations to be
conducted by Bushire.
I think that Barman Parma can be trusted to see to punishment of
Khans later.
I should be glad to know whether in the event of Minister for Foreign
Affairs’ expectation not being fulfilled you would agree to my accepting Khans’
conditions.
Addressed to Foreign Office, London; repeated to Basrah and Bushire.
