2. Building of a Vice-Consulate, —This project made no progress, until in
February 1906 Sheikh Khaz'al obtained an agreement from the M'uin ut
Tujjar recognising the proposed site as the joint property of the Sheikh's son
and his own son, and the full power of the Sheikh to act on behalf of both the
partners. The opinion of the Government of India on the situation revealed
by the instrument is awaited. If it is unfavourable, an alternative site will
have to be looked for.
The preparation of plans and estimates, in supersession of those drawn up

2(of). Notification was received in April of the appointment of a Consular
Surgeon for the combined Consulates of Ahwaz and Kermanshah.
During the year which has elapsed since this post has nofe been visited by the
Consular Surgeon.
In January 1906, a Hospital Assistant, originally intended for Kermanshah
reported himself for service at Ahwaz.
No medical or surgical equipment has yet been received for the Vice-
Consulate. With the remains of some drugs, etc,, received in 1904, and with
extraneous assistance from Mohammerah and elsewhere, it has, however, been
found possible to treat eight Persian soldiers suffering from gunshot wounds
received in the Bani Turuf outbreak. The cases are still under treatment,
but are progressing excellently.

Sheikh Hanzal remained in charge of Ahwaz.
In April the Bani Turuf, an Arab tribe living close to the Turkish border,
turned to their annual pastime of refusing to pay tribute to Sheikh Khaz'al,
to whose charge they have been made over by the Persian Government. In
answer to enquiries made by the Governor of Shushter the ordinary excuses
were preferred, failure of the crops and poverty.
Eventually an expedition was organised against them by the Salar
Muazzam and Sheikh Khaz'al. The Salar contributed some 1,300 men to the
forces. The expedition started on the 19th October, but no fighting to speak
of followed, the authorities as usual deeming it expedient to allow themselves
to be cajoled by the verbal submission of the Chiefs.
Of the several leaders of the tribe, Haji Sabhan, who refused to submit to
the overlordship of Sheikh Khaz'al, was driven into exile. 'Ali Minaishid and
