The casualties on both sides are said to be twenty-four. Rais Ah of Dilwar
with 300 men attempted to go to Jamal Khan's assistance but was opposed and only
managed to get back with difficulty.
638. Gendarmerie .-—It is said that Ismail Khan of Shabancara has written to
say that about 700 gendarmes (perhaps the number is exaggerated) have arrived at
Kamarij and that Husein Kuli, brother of Nur Muhammad Beg of Dalaki, had left
for Tul-i-Guchan with a large number of men to stop them. Ismail Khan is said
to have offered to help the gendarmes against Husein Kuli and Nur Muhammad
Beg.
639. In 1902, several vessels were chartered from the Shat-el-Arab to the
United Kingdom by Messrs. Marcus Samuel and Company, whose agent at Basrah
is Asfar. It had also been rumoured that this firm, who of course manage the
Shell Petroleum Company, were building ships for the trade. I he “ Shipping
Gazette ” of April 14th has a notice with regard to the first and statutory meeting
of the “ Flower Motor Ship Company ” at Shell House, Bishopgate with Sir Marcus
Samuel in the Chair. He stated that the capital of the Company is £1,000,000 and
the first ship will be launched in July. Haji Saiyid Muhammad Reza Kazeruni,
Agent of Messrs. Andrew Weir and Company's steamers, stated that the first ship
of the “ Flower Motor Ship Company ” is exp'ected to leave for the Gulf in July,
and that he expects to be Agent at Bushire. He added that these steamers will
bring out cargo to the Gulf, and call regularly. If this is the case they will pre
sumably be cutting into the trade now in the hands of Messrs F. C. Strick and
Company, etc.

which was attended by British subjects and in the afternoon at Subzabad where
Sir Percy Cox received the official visits and congratulations of the Local Persian
Authorities and Foreign Representatives. At 7 a.m. the Resident attended a

Shiraz.
From 18th May to 7th June.
Kindly furnished by Major W. F. T. O’Connor, C.I.E.
642. A party of 100 mounted gendarmes under the command of Major Sief-
vert started on 22nd May for Sivend to meet the second column of gendarmerie
from Teheran and with them to operate against the Arabs in Kafrak, etc. (See
below.)
643. On 28th May 100 men of the second party of the gendarmerie fiom
Teheran arrived at Shiraz escorting baggage and accompanied by Madame Uggla
and Mr. Ayrton of the Imperial Bank of Persia.
644. On the same day Dr. Pugin, Agent of a German firm of dealers in chemical
products (Meister, Lucius and Druning), arrived at Shiraz in a motor car, having
made the journey from Ispahan in three days. The car is a fine 55 H. P. Mercedes,
German make, and seems to have stood the journey well. The chief difficulties lay
in the iaso trvo stages from Shiraz, where help had to be requisitioned once or twice
to get the car over nasty places. But there is now no doubt that with a little im
provement the road between Shiraz and Ispahan could be made quite fit for motor
traffic. The arrival of this car, the first ever seen in Shiraz, created some local
excitement, and the rumour has spread abroad that it i^s only the first of a fleet
of fast cars, all armed with maxims, which are coming down to reinforce the
gendarmerie.
645. On 29th May Major Siefvert with a small escort and accompanied by
Major Uggla and Count Lewenhaupt, and by Baron von Friesen-Mittits, a German
attache who has accompanied the gendarmerie from Teheran, returned to Shiraz
