A. Pol. Boptombor 1873, Nos. 37-38. of Baluchis soou after forcibly released
him. The Assistant Political Agent at
Gwadur sent for Abdul Nabbi; but ho refused to come. Upon this his
subsidy was stopped. The Political Resident telegraphed to Mr. Thompson
and asked for issue of orders to the Governor of Hunder Abbas, under whom
Abdul Nabbi was, to warn him and his people against injuring the telegraph
in that district. This request was made and the Sadr Azan sent a telegram
issuing tho required order to the Governor of Bundar Abbas.

106. From 1873 to 1880 there is little of interest in the affairs of the Persian
Mckran Coast. Tho Persian Governor

seems since 1880 to have concerned him­
self more than usually in its affairs. In 1883 Major Mockler, then, on special
duty, submitted a report dated 28th March on the political condition of the
district, at the time and for a few years previously, which is summarised
below:—
107. Tho Governors of the several districts of Persian Baluchistan were
reported to bo as follows:—
Sartip Suleiman Khan (Persian) Bampur.
Mir K6ti (Boleidi and Barr) Geh, Kibleh ; his son M6him Khan lived at
Bint Lash dr.
Sartip Ibrahim Khan (Bami) Rddbar.
Mir Mauladdd Jan Mahomed (Boleidi and Barr) Kasr Kand, Sirbdz.
Mir Dildioar Khan (Malik) Dizzak, Magas ; his son Mir Abdullah lives
at Jalk.
Sardar Husain Khan (Ndrdi)—nothing at this time—-his brother Chdkdr
Khan lived at Fandch.
Mir Din Mahomed (Jadgal) Dashtyari.
Mir Mahomed Ali (Jadgal) Bdhu.
His Royal Highness Nasir-ud-dowla bad commanded all of them to meet
him at Bampur on his return from Cbarbar, in order that the taxes for each
district might bo finally fixed and possibly some alteration may then be made
in the Governors appointed to each. It appeared that on his advent into the
country and on his journey through it, the Shalizada had promised large
remissions in tho usual amount of taxes demanded from each distriot, but
whether these promises will be adhered to in the end, Major Mockler bad great
doubts.
108. It should be noted that:—Sardar Ibrahim Khan was supposed to bo
friendly with Husain Khan and his brother Chdkar Khan, and unfriendly
with Mir Dilawar Khan. Mir Dildioar Khan friendly with Mir Mauladad and
unfriendly with Sardar Husain Khan. Mir Mauladad unfriendly with Husain
Khan, with Ibrahim Khan and Ohdkdr Khan. Sardar Husain Khan, friendly
with Sartip Ibrahim Khan, unfriendly with Dilawar Khan, and with Mir
M auladad on account of the latter having married a daughter of Din Mahomed
of Dashtyari. Between Din Mahomed-i-Abdl (Chief of Dashtyari) and
Sardar Husain Khan there has always been groat enmity, so muoh so that l)in
Mahomed generally speaks of Husain Khan as “ Husain K6r ” (blind Husain), i
and Husain Khan of Din Mahomed as “ Chuki Abdl ” (Abdi’s son). Ibrahim
Khan bad been for very many years the principal and most powerful Chiof in ;
Persian Baluchistan nnd at various times has managed to get into his clutches,
imprison and mulot to his own advantage most of the other distriot Chiefs, and
it is said, probably truly, that tho late raid by Sardar Husain Khan into Dash­
tyari was made through the representations and at the instigation of Ibrahim
Khan, on the pretoxt, of course, of tho non-receipt of taxes, so hoavy as to bo
almost impossible of collection, but really because he was annoyed at having
failed to entice Din Mahomed, whom ho suspected of boing worth squeezing,
to come to Bampur, and ho could have hardly found a rnoro willing instrument
