Later reports confirm tlie difficulty in regard to supplies, and tint at engage
ments witli the Baharlu which have not turned to the advantage of the Kawam.
That the Kawam had sustained reverses at Darab was subsequently confirmed bv
His Majesty’s Consul at Shiraz*
339* Later telegraphic advices received from His Majesty’s Minister stated
that the Kawam-ul-Mulk had completely routed the forces of Saiyid Abdul Husain
Lari and had entered Lar ; The Saiyid had fled with a few men and is supposed
to have gone to the Kuhistan country north of Darab*
It is to be hoped that the Kawam will now be strong enough to return to
Darab and recover the property robbed from the Eastern Rug and Trading Com
pany and ethers (vide paragraph 1227 of 1913) and also carpets robbed at an
earlier date from Messrs. Castelli and Company. Reports received from the Eastern
Rug and Trading Company’s Agent, dated November and December, stated that the
1 whereabouts of these goods was precisely known, but that the Kawam, whether
from want of good will-power, had taken no steps to recover them,
340* Reference paragraph 136.—The latest reports from Ram state that the
Baluch raiding party carried off 70 prisoners from Jiruft*
341* After his defeat at the hands of the Baluch the Zargham-un-Nizam
returned to his country. It is said that he is collecting a force with the intention
of making an expedition to Sarhad.
