his pec ^tbns and general spoliation of the province but, owing to the presence
of the South Persia Rifles and the weakness of the anti-Bntish party which
had been severely dealt with by General Sykes, he was torced to accept tbinga
as they were and adopt an outwardly friendly attitude, towards the Anglophile
nartv Amir Jang encouraged him in this attitude, being shrewd enough
see that it was better to forego some of the profits which ^
derived but for the obstacles raised in their own interests by the pro-Bntis

rumours of the disbandment of the South Persia Rifles, and the arrival of the

leave the province and proceed on a pilgrimage to Kerbela rather than contmue
to sub iect himself to the loss of dignity and prestige entailed by the constant
nin pricks and insults of the Governor-General. The latter was gradually
deprived of all the Okaf properties of which he and his family had been in
charge for many years, no opportunity being given him, despite his protests, to
establish his right to these properties in the ordinary courts of law. The
Governor-General on more than one occasion publicly insulted the Superinten
dent of Persian Telegraphs, a notoriously pro-British official and brought pressu
to bear in Tehran to secure his removal from Kerman. ^
His Majesty's Consul several times frankly discussed the situation with
the Governor-General and urged him to adopt a more considerate attitude
wards our friends. Such discussion however had no apparent ettect.
