contmued their visits to the island. This fact has given rise to numerous
rumours regarding the future disposal of the oxide. 13y some it is asserted that
the Moin-et-Tujjar has terminated his contract with Messrs. Strick, while others
say that the Persian Government has called into question the Moin's right to
farm the island. The Moin's Agent has recently informed the Consulate,

the 15th May. Since then the Moin has contemplated the construction of a
trolley line from the quarries to the coast and also of large tanks for the
storage of fresh water to supply the workers. ]t is understood, however, that
these projects have now been abandoned and that it is intended to calcine the
sulphur on the spot and without the aid of machinery, camel transport bein»
employed between the quaries and the coast. In order to supervise this work,
M. Benedetto, an Italian engineer, has been engaged and arrived from Europe

European representative of Messrs. Wonckhaus. Eleven German steamers
called on the outward voyage, disembarking an aggregate of 5,434 packages
and taking away 727 packages. At the end of January, M. Kurt Jung,
Commercial Delegate from the German Eoreign Office, arrived from Kerman!
During his stay, he devoted himself to a study of the local trade requirements
with a view to promoting German trade interests with the port.
During the year, four Russian steamers called on both outward and
Russian trade. homeward voyages. That the visits of
the?e steamers to tbe port are scarcely
lucrative may be gathered from the fact that the aggregate number of packages
brought by them for the year, was 1,130, while the number shipped was 1,017.
JN o progress has been made towards a solution of the cable question and
the wire has been open for the despatch of Consulate messages only. In June

at the end of the cable, while the three telegraph messengers are located in
tents and watch the wire and cable-house on behalf of the Telegraph Depart

unknown, but the damaged wire has since been entirely replaced.

there is reason to apprehend that the petty chiefs of the Beyaban coast do not
pay due regard to manumission certificates in their subsequent treatment of tie
persons concerned.
The district has been free from any serious epidemic. Small-pox was
prevalent m Bunder Abbas during the earlier months of the year, but subsided
when the populations left for the date plantations in May. Eighty-five persons
were vaccinated at the charitable dispensary. Malaria fever has been more
than usually prevalent.
