SUMMARY OF NEWS OF HIS MAJESTY’S POLITICAL
RESIDENCY
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
IN THE ^
PERSIAN QULF FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 1919. i
PERSIA.
Mohammerah.
Shaikh Sultan has repined the South Persia Rifles Shiraz.
Assistant Surgeon C. H. Lincoln, on return from leave, took over charge of
His Majesty’s Consulate from Major Scott, C.I.E., I.M.S., on the 13th September.
Isfahan.
Riza Juzdani was hanged on the 28th August.
The condition of the town and environs is satisfactory. Some childish impa
tience is being displayed in connection with the new agreement. Many seem to
expect that its results should at once be apparent.
The Yezd road is unsafe, but other roads in the province are safe.
The gendarmes have captured Farahabad and QaTah Shahi, two of Mashallah
Khan’s forts, and Naib Hussain with about forty men, has fled towards Natanz,
pursued by another body of gendarmes. Mashallah’s “ road guards ” between
Kashan and Khalidabad, 22 in number, have surrendered to the gendarmes, and
the road from Shurab to Kashan is now guarded by the gendarmes.
The exactions of the Bakhtiaris are arousing a storm of discontent everywhere.
Their excuse is that no salaries are allotted to them by Government and that they
and their sowcits must live. The fact seems to be that the Bakhtiaris understand
that the opportunities which they have had in the past will soon cease to present
themselves, and they are consequently making hay while the sun shines.
Shiraz.
The Qawam left Shiraz on tour on the 14th September, accompanied by a
small detachment of the South Persia Rifles. He reached Fasa on the 20th, where
he was to remain a fortnight before proceeding to Darab.
The north road guards were withdrawn at the beginning of the month owing
to cessation of payments ; the Persian Government, however, instructed the
Governor-General to re-establish these guards immediately, and these orders were
carried out about the middle of the month.
Bushire.
Mr. J. H. Bill, I.C.S., handed over charge as Deputy
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
and
Acting Consul-General for Fars, etc., to Major C. H. Gabriel on the morning of the
10th September.
Rifles and ammunition continue to reach the Persia Coast, south west of
Bushire, in small quantities at a time, emanating for the most part from Koweit.
The Custom steamer “ Muzaffar ” on paying a surprise visit to Daiyir, found
two buggalows from which 110 rifles and 60,000 rounds of ammunition had been
landed and despatched inland. Of the two buggalows, one was of Bushire registry,
and the other belonged to Tangistan but was unregistered. Both were seized and
brought to Bushire. The arms and ammunition had been shipped from Koweit.
Zair Khidhar and Shaikh Hussain continue to encourage restlessness among the
Dashti Khans. The latter have been ordered to make their submission to the
Deputy Governor.
* Lingah.
Haji Ali German!, who was deported in 1915, arrived on the night of the 19th
September. Being, as he alleges, destitute, he has been unable to furnish the
Deputy Governor with security for his future good behaviour. He is said to be
meditating proceeding to Basrah in search of employment.
