There have been several conferences between the Governor-General and His
Majesty’s Consul regarding the question of Soulat-ed-Douleh and his arrears of
taxes. The latter was in camp near Deh Shaikh for a few days and on May 20th
the Governor-General’s pishkar was sent to interview him. but he made various
flimsy excuses and would not come to facts and figures. It was then decided to
send the Finance Agent with a list of tribal arrears to a second interview on May
22nd, but on being asked what he was ready to pay’on account of tribal arrears,
Soulat-ed-Douleh pleaded that the Qashqai had not paid full taxes for many years,
that the tribe was scattered, and during the war he had not accompanied them
on migration, and begged that the Governor-General would not “ ruin ” him.
After consulting the Inspector-General of the South Persian Rifles it was
decided to proclaim Soulat a defaulter, dismiss his son from the Ilkhaniship, and
send out

into the tribe with the support of Governor
General’s pishkar and a column of the South Persian Rifles. As an ultimatum
the Qawam-ul-Mulk and Nasir-ul-Mulk were sent out by the Governor-General
on the 24th May to ask Soulat-ed-Douleh whether he would pay 60,000

for the current year.
By this time Soulat-ed-Douleh was nervous, he heard of the punishment of
the Daliki Khan, and he drew up two papers one a bond for 44,000

arrears.
Unfortunately the news of May 25th of the fall of the Prime Minister, and its
•possible effects on the South Persian Rifles made it necessary to postpone the ap

from the Tlkhani of the Qashqais, son of Soulat-ed- Dowleh.
Soulat-ed-Douleh’s followers have been using great pressure on Amrullah Khan
Kashkuli to make him and his tribesmen in the South Persian Rifles resign and leave
the force.
The Governor-General professes regret at the fall of the Prime Minister, with
whom he enjoyed intimate relations. He declares that had he stayed in Tehran he
would have checked the intrigues of the enemies of Saiyid Zia-ud-Din, who are in
the palace.
Nasir-ul-Mulk has approached the fGovernor-General for a recommendation
for the post of Governor of the Gulf Ports, on the ground that the post was vacant
by the death of Muwaqqar-ud-Douleh. The Governor-General seemed surprised
to'hear that Masu’d-us-Sultan had been confirmed in that Governorship but readily
acquiesced when His Majesty’s Consul objected that Nasir-ul-Mulk was too old to
undertake the sea and land journeys connected with the post.
