Shaikh Muhammad Ahmed Khalfan. His Excellency added, howerer that
to do so he would require the support of one or two of H. M. ships/ The
Commodore, who visited the Darya Begi with me, readily agreed to do
this and it was accordingly arranged. The Darya Eegi accordingly left in
the “ Persepolis ” on Saturday, 17th June, for Tahiri and Asalu, and
H. M. ships “Juno ’ and “ Bramble ” followed on Wednesday, 21st. X
have just heard that the cpeiations at Asalu have been completely success*
ful, the Darya Begi having gained a bloodless victory. Ali Akbar Khan and
Shaikh Mazkur, who had apparently come to his assistance were driven out of
Asalu and Nakhl-Taki and Bidakun and Shaikh Muhammad Ahmed Khalfan
installed on the 23rd instant. The ships have now proceeded to Shiwuh and
Chiru. It is not anticipated that any difficulty will be experienced in dealino*
with these two places.
To revert to the murderers of the late Khan Bahadur j on arrival in
Tangistan Haji Khan and his 11 followers were received with open arms first
by Shaikh Hussain who is reported to have given them clothing and presents
and 50
Tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
to the leader, and subsequently by Zair Khidar who has
“given ” the village of Pakhushi, only about 12 miles from our outpost line
to Haji Khan for their maintenance. Since their arrival one of their number
Abdu, a native of Halileh, the village on the southernmost part of the island
has headed two night raids on the village, the last occurring only a few*
mights ago.
Both Haji Khan and Rais Hussain Dooli (and probably most of their
followers) had bloodfeuds on in Tangistan and did not dare to return to their
homes—judging from their welcome on their return I think one would not be
far wrong in surmising that they were tempted by Zair Khidar and Shaikh
Hussain to commit their crime with promises that bygones would be bygones
and of being able to return home safely and. be given rewards and land on
arrival.
There has been some correspondence lately regarding accepting the terms
offered by Zair Khidar and Shaikh Hussain in connection with the release of
the Shiraz prisoners. I strongly deprecate doing so, but if it is decided to do
so, it will only be necessary to call on these rascally Khans to give up Haii
Khan and his cut-throats in order to obtain a fresh reason for punishing them.
In conclusion, I beg to attach, for the information of the Government of
India, a copy of a despatch (No. 64, dated 20th May) regarding a demand for
indemnity from the Persian Government for the Khan Bahadur and his
brothers which His Majesty’s Minister at Tehran has sent to the Secretary of
State for Poreign Affairs. I also attach a copy of my telegram No 23Q 1 ‘^iq
dated 22nd June, to Sir Charles Marling giving him some furthei particular*
regarding the services of Agha Ali. ^
