ADMINISTEATION REPORT OF THE
PERSIAN GULF
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
Baklitiari intrigues to undermine the Shaikh of Mohammerah's authority
with his tribesmen, which were set on foot in 1909, have continued throughout
the year, through the

of Agha Eahim, Bakhtiari, the Deputy Governor
of Dizful. It will be remembered that in 1909 he tried to stir up various
Shaikhs of the Bani Turuf and Maulas of Hawizeh, subsequent on which he
was summoned to Mohammerah by the Governor-General of Arabistan, Haji
Fakhr-ul-Mulk, to make his peace with Shaikh Khazal. Later, in February,
on the pretext that the Kharran lands, situated in Arabistan, were the pro
perty of the Gunduzlu, the Acting

and Acting Ilbegi, sent agents to
collect taxes from the Arabs, inhabiting those lands, and at the same time in-
stigatefl the A1 Khamis Arabs, who live in Bakhtiari territory to attack and
loot the A1 Amur Arabs, who are the Shaikh of Mohammerah's subjects.
After telegraphic communication on the subject, Haji Seyyid Hussein,
Shaikh Khazal's agent in Ahwaz was sent to Malamir to interview the Acting
Chiefs. Meanwhile taxes to the amount of some 300
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
were collected
in the Kharran, and some Arabs, who refused payment, made prisoners. The
result of Shaikh Khazal's agent's interview with the Acting Chiefs was that
the question should be further discussed by them and Haji Rais-ut-Tujjar,
the Shaikh of Mohammerah's

Minister.
at Ramuz and that meanwhile the taxes
collected were to be returned, which latter however was not done.
The result of the meeting between Haji Rais-ut-Tujjar and the Acting
Chiefs was unsatisfactory, the only decision arrived at being that the disput
ants to the lands in question should send deputies to Tehran, there to have the
question of ownership thrashed out in the Medjliss. In the summer it was de
cided in Tehran that the lands, which had been leased by Shaikh Khazal,
Haji Ilais and others, belonged to the Seyyids of Shushtar, but up to the end
of the year the owners had not asserted their rights, nor had the taxes, collect
ed in the spring, been returned. It is surmised that Haji Rais-ut-Tujjar,
who, in the autumn of 1910, was appointed the agent of the owners, wishes to
further discuss the matter with the Bakhtiari Chiefs, on their return to the
Low Country. The Acting Executive Chiefs also prosecuted their intrigues
against Shaikh Khazal's authority in other directions. During the spring
they tried to tamper with Shaikh Hyder of the El Kathir, but with no success,
also with Shaikh Farhan Ass^d of the same tribe, with no immediate apparent
result. Later, however, in the autumn. Shaikh Farhan Assad rebelled against
the Shaikh of Mohammerah, having been instigated thereto by Agha Rahim,

determined, if possible, to cause him trouble.
In November Shaikh Khazal informed the Amir-i-Muffakham that he
