and
his Secretaries and the Senior Naval Officer on the 30th, and was most cordial.
He left for Shiraz on the 2nd December, accompanied by the Minister for War.
During his stay in Bushire the Minister for War has done his best to get
the Government of the Gulf Ports under the Military Department. In his
dealings with the local Khans, the Governor was absolutely ignored and very
strained relations between the Civil and the Military may be expected. The Officer
Commanding, Persian Troops, is also interfering in financial matters.
The Minister’s strong anti-Poreign bias seemed to direct itself specially
against the British. The arrest of Allah Karam Khan, son of Haidar Khan,
C.I.E., though ostensibly due to the young mans disrespectful conduct towards
himself, was, it is probable, motived by his father, Haidar Khan’s friendship
with the British. If Allah Kharam Khan’s early release is not effected, British
prestige in the South will suffer a serious blow. Indeed it has already been
gravely injured.
On the 27th November, the Minister for War issued a proclamation that
the British were desirous of withdrawing their troops as soon as sufficient
Persian forces could be provided to ensure the security of the Gulf Ports; and
added that the British troops would shortly be withdrawn as this had now been
accomplished. The strength of the local force, however, is not yet sufficient to
ensure security.
Certain Persians from Bahrein presented a written petition to the Shah
complaining of the oppression of the British and begging His Majesty to
appoint a Karguzar at Bahrein to look after their interests.
Although the Persian Government informed His Majesty’s Minister that
the Pars Government had been instructed not to evict Agha Khan from Daliki
without the consent of bis landlord, Nizam-es-Saltaneh, the Officer Commanding
Troops, Bushire, under instructions from the Officer Commanding Pars Troops,
has installed Yadulla, cousin of Pathullah Khan, as Khan of Daliki.

The question of removing the remains of the late Sheikh Hussein to the

instigator of this purely anti-British move has been appointed Deputy Gov

followers should they appear in Haft Dasht. It is rumoured that the main
body of Darrashuriesiunder Ayaz Kikha will not occupy the Haft Dasht. An
alliance between Patullah Khan of the Kashkulis and Ayaz Kikha appears
probable and if it takes place it would place the former definitely on the side
