returned from tour on the 13th December.
No fresh intelligence has been received of the movements of troops in
Dashti and Dashtistan, exeept that they are taking about with them Shaikh
Muhammad as a sort of Political or Liasson officer—an action vh?ch lends an
air of unreality of operations ostensibly undertaken to collect revenue and

the most rebellious Khans and owes 7 to 8,000

Dr Mann, one time medical practitioner to Bin Saud, arrived in Bushire
on the 5th December and proceeded to Shiraz on the 10th.
(He returned from Shiraz on the 2nd January and is still in Bushire.)
i\gha Khan of Liiawi was persuaded to come into Bushiie on the 28th of
December. The Governor states that he has received orders from the Prime
Minister to assist Agha Khan’s brother Karamullah—who was Agha Khan’s
prisoner for some years owing to his attempts to murder his brother and usurp
his place. His Excellency told the Resident that he intended to make
peace between the brothers. Later, however, the Resident heard from Agha
Khan that the Governor was pressing him to take Karamullah back to Lirawi,
and saying that if he didn’t do so in two days he would make Karamullah
Khan in his place and send him out to Lirawi.
The general opinion, however, is that what the Governor really wants is
a handsome douceur, and apparently Agha Khan is in treaty now to settle the
matter in this way.
