in August to complain to the Persian civil ana military
authorities at Mohammad Ali Liravi's unwarranted occu­
pation of Hisar fort, and at the way in which the Officer
Commanding the Khuzistan column had sided with Mohammad
Ali. The only result of Fathullah Khan*s complaints

in Tehran were that another military detachment, this
time from Kazerun,was sent to occupy Ganawah, which is
the most important port in the Hiat Daud area, with
instructions to disarm the Hiat Daudis. The Khuzistan

column, which was still in occupation of Hisar^had
orders to carry out a parallel disarmament of the
adherents of Mohammad Ali Liravi, who, however, had
few arms to surrender. As a result Fathullah Khan not
only lost possession of his fort at Hisar, but was

deprived of over 80 rifles, and was put to much loss
by the exactions of a Sarwan (Captain) Urdubadi, who
was in command of the Kazerun detachment which carried
out the disarmament of the Hiat Daud - Rud Hilleh area.

improved, the troops were still stationed in Bura^jan at
the end of the year.
