men demanded to be sent away togethei r and refused to embark in different
steamers. It was considered necessary to obtain assistance from the Military
authorities at Basrah to safe-guard the Company's interests.
H. M. S. Cyclamen arrived with the Hon'ble the Political Eesident from
Bushire and the Shaikh of Mohammerah was summoned from Koweit to settle
the local Arabs and Persians. The Navy and Military successfully embarked
the strikers and normal conditions prevailed after a few days.
Passports restrictions imposed between Mohammerah and Basrah came
into force from the 20th July. A special clerk from Iraq was detailed to do
the work at the Consulate at Mohammerah. This has caused the public much
displeasure and the Shaikh of Mohammerah is strongly opposed to it and has
.made several protests against the restrictions.
Shaikh Chassib Khan,
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Arfaa, eldest son of His Excellency the
Shaikh of Mohammerah, proceeded to England at the end of November. He
was very ill during the summer months and was advised by a good many
doctors to take a trip to and undergo treatment in England. He is supposed
to be away for six months. The Shaikh has allowed him £300 per mensem
for his expenses.
Haji Ebrahim, Ex-Tax Collector of this town declared himself insolvent,
attributing the reason to Shaikh Chassib's exactions. He owed the Shaikh
about
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
12,000 which he was unable to pay; so was dismissed and
imprisoned.
A^ha Karoon, who is the present Collector, appears to have gained the
confidence of the Shaikh and things appear to be working smoothly.
Agha Ardi, who for several years was Deputy Governor of Mohammerah
and Tax Collector, was appointed Deputy Governor of Hindijan and Zaidan,
in June.
It is regretted to have to report the death of Darya Begi, which occurred
on the 18th September. The deceased was Governor of the

Ports for a good many years.
He was the best friend of the British and always rendered most valuable
assistance to the British Government; especially during the war.
He was afraid of going to the interior of Persia on account of the anti-
British feeling prevailing at the time, so decided to make his abode with the
Shaikh at Eeiliyeh.
Posts and Telegraphs.— T \ iq British Posts and Telgraph Offices carried on
their work during the year.
M. Arjumond, the new Director of Persian Post Offices in Arabistan
arrived at Mohammerah on the 16th December, with three clerks, and took
over postal charge from the Director of Customs who was also Director of
Persian Post Offices.
Customs, —Monsieur Andrieux was Director of Customs during the first
few months of the year. He handed over charge on his retirement on the
16th April to Monsieur Cordonnier who had arrived from Ahwaz, and
proceeded to Europe.
Monsieur Cordonnier has started by making several improvements.
The Central Administration telegraphed instructions that all employees of
the Customs should wear uniforms as a precaution against outsiders feigning
as Customs officers and misusing the authority.
The summer uniform is a white tunic with a green collar and the winter
one is a blue serge with a green collar. Stars on the collar and stripes on the
sleeves of the tunic denote the seniority of respective officers.
Smuggling of krans to Basrah was carried on to a great extent and the
Customs made a lot of money by confiscating large sums.
Local Folice—lh.e Local Police Eorce^ still continues; but is not as
efficient now as it was a year or so ago, Haji Izzat Effendi is still head of
the force and carries out his duties satisfactorily, in spite of the many
obstacles.
