SUMMARY OF HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY’S POLltlCAt RE
PERSIAN GULF
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST 1915.
THE
Lingeh.
1. The news of the capture of Warsaw was received with much pleasure by the
Deputy Governor and people of Lingeh.
Bandar Abbas.
2. Rumours are rife that the Baharloos and Arabs are marching on Bandar
Abbas.
Kerman.
3. German agents left Yezd on the 23rd June and are since reported to have
reached Anar. The local authorities so far remain without any instructions to
recognize them.
The German Secret and self-styled German Consuls Zugmeyer and Greisinger
arrived in Kerman on the evening of 4th June with a force of some 30 armed Persian
sowars. The common townspeople flecked out to meet them and some sacrificed
sheep and a cow in honour of their arrival.
Governor-General received instructions from the Central Government not to
recognize them and published the telegram widely through the town. He gave
them no official reception, but sent some 20 Bakhtiaris to meet them outside the
town and to tell them that he had orders from his Government not to give them
any sort of official recognition. The Karguzar and the oflicer in charge Gendar
merie stealthily went to meet them on the way.
They are now putting up in a building outside .the city and have hoisted
German and Turkish flags.

Muhtahsham’s Baluchistan Mission has been deported by Governor-General
to Tehran, on account of his German sympathies. His Assistant Itizad Hazrat who
was some time ago deported by Mudabbir-Douleh as Deputy Governor has been
brought back from Ispahan by the German Secret agents as their Mirza.
German Secret Agents are now daily circulating some telegraphic news in the
city said to have been received by Persian Telegraph from Tehran. They as a rule
contradict all Reuter’s and official news.
They have been trying to get a house in the city but the Governor-General has
forbidden any one to let to them. The Nazim thought he had procured his brother-
in-law’s house for them and they sent in several mule loads of baggage only to find
the door securely locked. After leaving the loads lying in the street for some hours
they sent and took them back to their house outside.
After several unsuccessful attempts to hire a house in the town in defiance of the
Governor-General’s orders the Germans managed to hire one from the Salar-i-
Muzafiar and prepared to take possession. The Governor-General sent Bakhtiaris
to seize the Salar-i-Muzaflar and to guard the house. The Germans then sent an
insolently worded letter to the Governor saying that they would take forcible pos
session. The Governor replied that he would oppose their entry and made prepara
tions for doing so. Several deputations from the town went to the Germans asking them
not to enter the town but they refused to listen to them. The Governor-General
sent the

-i-Nusrat and the Karguzar to reason with the Germans but they re
fused to give in. The townspeople then used their efiorts to get the Governor-General
to give way and in this they were successful and he sent the Karguzar and

i-Nusrat to the Germans to get them to give him a few assurances to save his face and
allowed them to take possession. They entered with as much show as possible and of
course immediately broke all the promises they had made. As their baggage was
coming through the bazar an Arab muleteer of theirs fell foul of a Bakhtiari in the
