Qawam-ul-Mulk left for the inspection of his Government and tribes in

and less obedient to him than in 1920-21.
A further 50 men have been sent to reinforce the 90 cossacks at Borazjum
where Salr Nusrat has aggravated the situation by failure to carry out orders.
A letter has been received by the Governor-General from Muhammad
NasirJKhan, likhani of the Qashgai, stating that he has seized Mast Ali Bimaki
and asking for instructions whether this notorious brigand should be sent in
to Shiraz.
Behbehan .—The town and district is reported to be in a disturbed
condition.
An unconfirmed report has been received that a party of Kashkulis,
followers of Jehangir Khan, have raided Zaidun and carried off 2,500 sheep
and 120 cows and donkeys.
A telegram has been received by Qawam Diwan, Kalantar of Behbeham
from Amir Mufakham and Murteza Quli Khan, instructing him to proceed to
Mamassanni country and ntake peace between the son of Haji Muin-ut-Tujjar
and Imam Quli Khan. A strongly worded telegram has also been sent to
Gulam Dussain Khan Boir Ahmedi that if he supports Imam Quli Khan he
will get into trouble.
A caravan has been attacked on the Hendijan road by some Lurs, and one
muleteer was killed.
The Ram-Hormuz road is safe, but all other roads are insecure and the
roadguards are oppressing caravans.
Bushire —It is understood that His Excellency the Governor of the Gulf
Porrs is doing his best to secure the removal of Ghazanfar-us-Sultaneh from
Borasjun.
The Governor is also doing his best to discredit Mirza Ali Kazeruni,
and has caused letters to be written to all editors of Shiraz and Tehran
newspapers pointing out that he ibecame bankrupt when in Bushire and vas
locked up in the Karguzarate, and that he ought never to have been elected
as Bushire representative in the Medjliss.
In reply to the Governor’s representations to Tehran regarding Sheikh
Mohamed of Chahkutalvs highhanded action towards Sheikh Abdulla when he
surrounded the village of Abu Tawil, the Minister for the Interior has wired
recommending that Sheikh Mohamed should be made to compensate Sheikh
Abdulla for loss incurred by the latter. The Governor has therefore appointed
a mamur who will assess the damage and loss inflicted.
The work on the road from Genaweh to Dasht-i-Qil is progressing rapidly
and it is hoped to start work at Bikarz very shortly.
Dr. Wyllie, one of the company’s geologists is now in the Dasht-i-Qil area
making further investigations.
The Kashkuli Khans held a meeting at Dasht-i-Qil on the 14th January,
which was the culmination of several conversations that have recently taken
place amongst the signatories to the agreement with the Anglo-Persian Oil
Company. Jehangir Khan, who was not a party to the agreement and who
has, apparently for that reason, been somewhat disaffected of late, was induced
by Ilyas Khan to attend. It is reported that several misunderstandings were
cleared up amicably, and that Jehangir would, in future, receive a portion of
the Company’s subsidy.
Mr. S. Clegg handed over the duties of Vice-Consul, Bushire, to the Sec- |
retary on the 31st December, and left for Genaweh on the 5th January en 1
route to Dasht-i-Qil where he has been posted by the Anglo-Persian Oil Com- I
pany as their political representative with the Kashkulis.
It is understood that Monsieur Konoff has been appointed Agent of j
Wonckhaus & Co., in Bushire, and German goods are already beginning to |
arrive in fair quantities.
