From—His Britannic Majesty's Consul, Sistan,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart

Baluchistan telegram of April 24th, and your telegram, 107 S., of the
26th April, If I were in touen with .Dyer, I would certainly have referred
to him, but all I have received from him since April 4th is one belated
en ctair and one undecypherable message. Two recent telegrams from Kerman
seem to show that all may not be well there, as Governor urges Sykes to come
quickly and ^-Governor refuses to leave.
There might certainly be risk for small party in these circumstances.
There is really no cause for anxiety in Sistan and Kain. Levies are
perfectly contented.
Even Baluch raiders, I am told, are addicted to firing in the air. Dehaneh
Baghi is now in telegraphic communication with Bam and Kerman so I hope
-to get early news through Eahreh about Kigan.

Enclosure.
Report on the Evacuation of Kerman Station submitted by
Superintendent J. W. Tanner.
Preliminary.
To understand clearly the events which lead up to the evacuation of
Kerman, or, to be more correct, the expulsion of the British and .Russian
colonies from Kerman, it is necessary to understand something about the
principal persons concerned.
(1) The Governor-General of Kerman provinces,
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Zaffar, a Bakhtiari.
He was sent to Keiman, 1 understand, by request of the British Minister,
Tehran, and was supposed to be strongly pro-British.
Beyond giving us guards for the Telegraph and Bank buildings and for
the personal protection of the Manager, imperial Bank of Persia, and myself
during the last lew days in Kerman, and providing us with an escort to the
coast, he did absolutely nothing for us or for the British cause. He was
exceedingly prolific in promises out never translated his words into actions. I
think everyone in Kerman, except perhaps the British Consul, was convinced
that the Governor-General was taking money from both sides. A neutral
