ADMINISTKATION EEPOIlT ON THE PERSIAN GOLF POLITICAL
Though comparative quiet now reigned in Shiraz for about a
fortnight, there was still a ^ood deal of lawlessness prevalent, and this took
the troublesome form of Jew-baiting. On 7th February, Monsieur Veneziani,
an Italian Jew and leader of the community, reported that an attack on his
co-religionists was arranged for the morrow, and solicited protection for his
house 0 in which large quantities of Jewish merchandise were stored for safety,
la pursuance of this request Mr. Grahame and his Consular Escort spent the
night in the house of a European adjoining his premises. Nothing however
occurred and for some days, during the general rejoicing at the apparent
supersession of the Shoa-es-Sultaneh, the Jews were forgotten; but this did,
not endure for a long time and about 20th February the Italian again
complained that his servants were constantly beaten and robbed in the
bazaar.
Contrary to expectation the first ten days of the Mohurrum, which com
menced at the end of February, passed without any incident except that the Jews
were still oppressed and confined to their own quarters and were informed by
the local authorities that their security could only be guaranteed by payment
of 1,000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
by the community.
The general position continued much the same until the end of the year
owins? to the uncertainty which still continued to exist as to whether His
Imperial Highness the Shoa-es-Sultaneh had really relinquished the idea of
returning to Fars or whether he still had the ear of his father and meditated
return when opportunity offered.
The town and district of Behbehan, nominally under the Fars Govern
ment, was in a hardly less turbulent state than the capital of the province,
and the Shiraz Authorities were able to exercise no effective control over the
anarchy which prevailed.
There can be little doubt that in these efforts^ to emancipate themselves
from the intolerable burden of rapacious oppression under which they suffer,
the people of Fars have been emboldened by the success of the revolutionary
movement in Russia; and for this reason they will not be appeased so easily
with empty promises as they have been in the past.
Visits of vessels Bushire was visited by the three "subsidised" gunboats Sphinx,
ofHisMajesty's^ • an(i Redbreast. One of these vessels remained on duty at
Navy and the ancl in ^ shatt-el-Arab throughout the seven months ending March
1906, in connection with the patrolling of the river during the date-shipping
season and the murder of a British Engineer in Messrs, Lynch's workshops
at Marghill above Busreh.
Vice-Admiral Sir Edmund Foe, K.C.V.O., Commander-in-Chief of the
