a guarantee for the safety of his life and property.
A feeling also appeared to be gaining ground among others of the Bakh
tiari Khans that the British had lost that feeling of interest with which they
were wont in former years to regard the Bakhtiaris.
In view of these circumstances His Majesty's Consul referred the matter
to His Majesty's Legation and suggested that some renewal of our expression
of friendly interest in their welfare be given to the Khans of both families.
The question was referred to the Foreign Office, London, and in December an
answer was received that an assurance in this form be given to the Sardars
Assad and Muhtasham.
Other questions dealt with both at Ardal and Ispahan were those of out-

of Behbehan. Mirza Ali Riza Khan had strong tendencies to reactionary
policy and thus afforded a pretext on which the Bakhtiari Governor im
