Abul Karim Kazeruni, Majd-az-Zakarin Shirazi and Mulla Ismail, all
of little repute, against all Persians in the service of foreigners, but none of the
latter have so far been molested in any way. One of the principal objects of
the malcontents was to bring odium on the Governor whom they accused of
being in corrupt league with the British Government and favouring the landing
of troops by the latter. The newspaper “ Muzafferi ” also was very prominent
in the anti-foreign campaign. The Governor was fully aware of their pro
ceedings but was frankly afraid to arrest them, alleging that the sarbazes
would probably take their part. This did not seem likely : but a riot against
His Excellency with the connivance of the commanding officer was very
probable. The Mowagar-ed-Dowleh was relying on some 170 tofangchis
supplied by Zair Khadhar to keep order and defend his person.
(b). The anti-British agitation was greatly weakened hy a letter witten j
two days before his death by the late Akhund Mullah Kazim Khorassani to
Saiyid Abdullah of Bushire enjoining resistance to Russia but stating that
there was no ground to order hostilities against Britain.
(<?). The agitation had rather more success in the districts lying round
Bushire. The notorious Saiyid Murteza Ahremi apparently contemplated
the possibility of repeating his previous coup and negotiated with neighbouring
chiefs. Jamal Khan of Dashty and Zair Khadhar definitely refused the over
tures and urged him and the other Mullahs of Tangistan to abandon their
idea of shewing hostilities to the officials of the British Government who, said
the latter, did not want an inch of Persia. But some 210 men appear to have
agreed to join Saiyid Murteza including a contingent from Dilwar under its
headman Bais Ali. Shaikh Ali Bashty, a petty Mullah of Bushire was for
ward in this movement and visited Borasjun to enlist the Shaikh on his side.
The latter has been confining himself to promises to resist any further parties
of British troops.
70. The Minister of the Interior is said to have telegraphed to the Khan
of Borasjun not to oppose the British troops, and to have received the reply
that the Khans in the south do not recognize him as Minister, but this is not
confirmed.
71. During the 3rd week of January a telegram was received by the
Mullahs* of Bushire from the Mullahs of Shiraz expressing satisfaction at
having received reassuring intimation from the Minister for Eoreign Affairs,
regarding the arrangements that were being made for the withdrawal of troops
from Shiraz and Bushire, adding that in the meantime the British Govern
ment were assisting the Persian Government in all affairs and that therefore a
conciliatory attitude should be adopted towards them.
72. The Mullahs of Bushire have received a telegram from the Tehran !
Mullahs addressed to the Mullahs of Kerbela and Najaf stating that the
British Government are co-operating with the Persian nation and affording
assistance, and that the addressees should telegraph to the districts in the south
not to interfere with British troops proceeding to Shiraz.
