Zafar’s return to the Ilkhaniship will
be the signal for concerted resistance to his authority, and his presence in Bakh-

communicated similar views to His Majesty’s Vice-Consul, Ahwaz, and a movement
seems on foot to enlist the sympathies of the Shaikh of Mohammerah to oppose

Bahadur left Ispahan
for Kerman.
The engineers for the construction of the Ispahan-Teheran road left Ahwaz
on April 15th. The material for the work is expected to follow them shortly.
The Bakhtiari Khans have been requested to afford the engineers and the material
all necessary protection on their passage through Bakhtiari.
His Britannic Majesty’s Consul-General called on the Governor-General on
April 8th. His Excellency continues to complain of lack of funds and non-payment
of arrears due to him by Government. His financial position is undoubtedly
embarrassing. The Treasury appear to have collected a considerable sum in reve
nue since the new year, but the Governor-General’s requirements have not so
far been met.
/ Orders have now been received from Teheran to hold elections for the Mejliss.
It is rumoured that there are from thirty to forty prospective candidates. The
Democratic party are actively engaged in canvassing for the Shaikh-ul-Islam as
their candidate for the Mejliss. He has a bad record and is head of the Democratic
party in Ispahan. The Governor-General is said to be pushing his own candidates,

Shiraz, '
His Highness Far man Farma invited His Britannic Majesty’s Consul to drive
with him to a garden a few miles out of the town to have some private conversation.
He unfolded his grievances against the Prime Minister, and expressed doubt
whether he would be able to remain in Fars, unless the Persian Government adopted
a mores ympathetic attitude towards him. His Highness had not heard of the recent
changes in the Cabinet, which are not likely to reassure him. The bazaar is full of
rumours that His Highness is about to be dismissed, and it appears that he has been
talking freely and indiscreetly about his differences with Vossugh-ud-Dowleh.
He is reported to have said that he will not resign but will force the Government
to dismiss him, so that he may be numbered among the martyrs of Fars.
Towards the end of the month his attitude underwent a change, and it appears
that he is approaching a reconciliation with the Prime Minister.
The Governor-General has received a telegram from Teheran to the effect that
if he sees no objection he should entrust the protection of the Bushire road to the
South Persia Rifles. This has accordingly been done.
The situation of Kazerun and ne’ghbourhood was unsatisfactory, owing to
unconcealed rivalry between the, Indian Intelligence Officer Khur Hassan and his
relative Najaf Khan on the one hand, and certain subordinates in the South Persia
Rifles on the other; has done nothing to mend matters. The Deputy Governor,
Salar Motaze.I, has always been weak. It now appears that he is more inclined
