country. It was only with the utmost difficulty that they were induced to
remain.
48. In the end of September the Vice-Consul visited the Khans at
Shalamzar, and matters relating to the Syndicate's affairs were discussed and
sundry claims on account of Messrs. Lynch Brothers were pressed. With a
single petty exception the Khans met the latter in each case -with a decided
non yossumus.
The Samsam adopted cn the whole a non-contentious attitude and
apologised for his conduct at Kimah, but his former role was now played by
the Shahab who was principal spokesman, and whose manner was markedly
disagreeable.
Immediately after these interviews it subsequently appeared that they had
telegraphed to the Legation complaining of the Vice-Consul and the fact of bis
ha-vicg pressed these claims, and asking that the management of their affairs
be transferred to Bis Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Ispahan.
A reply was sent them reaffirming the claims, and refusing to entertain
their suggestion.
Again, however, in the middle of November the Shuja-us-Sultan, and the
eldest sens of the Samsam and

A sad presented themselves at the
Legation, recited the usual list of their grievances, and again 'demanded that
their relations with the Vice-Consul for Arabistan should be terminated.
They asserted that they were authorised to speak and act on behalf of the
ruling chiefs, and when their complaints were rejected and met by a state
ment of ours, they formally declared that the Khans would no longer hold
themselves responsible for the safety of the oil workers and employes.
The reply to this, on the motion of the Vice-Consul, was the suspension of
the guard instalment of £500 payable to the Khans on the 15th Kovemberon
account of the protective arrai gem en ts for the succeeding three months.
Notice of the fact ^as communicated to the Khans from Ahwaz, and was
followed by an immediate alteration for the better in their tone, which has
been more than maintained up to the time of writing.
49. It should be mentioned that in October, on a suggestion emanating
from the Syndicate at home, instructs rs were given for the E.I.M.S. Comet
to proceed from Baghdad to Ah-waz with a viev to lowing the flag and
impressing the Khans Subsequently, however, the ship vas wiihdrawn on
the grounds that its presence at Ahvaz vould not affect the latter purpose.
50. Almost immediately after the Khan's repudiatory declaration on the
15th November, it was finally decided to make the proposed addition to the
Vice-Consular escort.
The intention was coir municated to the Persian Government, who issned

Work havinor been abandoned at Mamatain the whole party was even

Since then no interference with the European s f aff has been attempted, though
thefts have continued and violence has been offered to one Native courier and
one^ grain-purchasing agent, in both cases at a considerable distance from
Maidan Munaftun,
Some trouble was also given to a party bringing in grain for the escort,
at a time when the public mind was disturbed by the lack of rain al w
nervousness as to the crop prospects. The incident has not been repeated.
51. Continuous pressure has been kept up on the Khans with refererce
to the deficiency of their guards, the prevalence of thieving, and the occurrences
just mentioned.
The Khans have been profuse in their promises, and they have not
returned to a defiant attitude, but they have failed to make good their words,
