Ke, man. —(19th December—16th January.)
Haji Mirza Ali Mohamed left Kerman for Jiruft on the 31st December
and he proposes to remain there until a change takes place in the Governor-
Generalship of Kerman* Owing to th$ hostility of the Governor-General all
leading pro-British notables have now left Kerman. His attitude towards the
British is most unsatisfactory.
Patin-ul-Mulk arrived on the 12th January and took over charge of the ^
Financial Department from Sheikh-ui-Mulk, he immediately suspended Mirza
Luft Ali Khan, Assistant Financial Agent for Kerman and environs.
Mirza Luft Ali Khan is the local agent of Haji Mirza Murteza and a
staunch adherent of Haji Mirza Ali Mohamed and is therefore viewed widi dis
favour by the Governor-General. He was active in the Moderate cause in the
1919 elections.
Bahadur-ud-Douleh is said to have left Isfahan for Kerman. The
Governor-General proposes to appoint him to tour the province and supervise
the Deputy Governors. This will afford him ample opportunities for bleedino-
the Deputy Governors who receive no pay and whose income has been greatly
reduced by the frequent deputation by the Governor-General of Bakhtiari
Mamurs to the districts.
A circular telegram has been received from the Ministry of War addressed
to the “ South Persian Army ” intimating that the headquarters of the South
ern Army are established at Isfahan under Mir Panj Mahmud Khan, and that
all matters concerning the Army are to be referred to him.
On the 12th January the Anjuman-i-Sadar, one of the newly organized
local A.njumans, held a meeting in the town house of Imam Juma, whose son
is the president of this Anjuman. Printed invitations were sent to all
local officials and notables and others and about 2,000 attended, among
whom were the Assistant Governor-General and the Karguzar. Intizam-
us-Sadat, a Democrat and
Vakil
Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator.
in the Adliyeh, made a speech in which
he praised the Governer-General and the Bais Muarif and continued
about the independence of Persia. He said that the power of the
British, who had been the chief oppressors of Persia, had declined owing to
the troubles in which they wmre involved (in India and Ireland), and now was
the time for Persians to rid their country of British influence. He made some
insulting references to the South Persia Bifles and the Persians who had
served in the force.
The Karguzar who was consulted by His Majesty’s Consul privately, has
promised to move the Governor-General to prevent such speeches being made
at public meetings in future.
The Governor-GeneraP has sent a force of 10 sowars to Bam and
Narmashir and the same number to the Jiruft district. The Governor-General
has now no sowars left in town, his force of 80 men beinsr distributed as
follows:—
Yezd road . . . . . . t < # ,40
Bam Narmashir and Jiruft ....... 20
Mamurs in various districts ........ 20
All the sowars live on the districts where they happen to be posted and the
Governor-General is relieved of all expenses on their account. Their exactions
and oppression in the districts give cause for much complaint. Murad Khan,
Buchaqchi, chief of the Muchaqchi tribe in the Sirjan district is said to have
fled and to be in hiding on account of oppression suffered by him at the hands
of the Governor-GeneraPs Mamurs.
From reports received from Bafsinjan it appears that the villagers round
Bafsinjan are terrorised by robbers and the townspeople do not dare to visit
their lands in the district.
On the 24th December about 40 Farsi robbers carried away some 22
donkeys and other property belonging to the villagers of Kemalabad and
Hoseinabad near Bafsinjan. Another report dated the 25th December states
that on the 23rd about 100 unloaded camels were robbed near Nasiriyeh three
