Persian war,

Displacement
of Shaikh

Muhamma-
reh, 1860—
62.
Shah and a great part of that of Fat-h ; Ali Shah, by Shaikh Haji
Jabir, Muhaisin, whose tenure of power extended from 1819 to 1881.
In April 1857, on news of the peace concluded between Britain and
Persia reaching Muhammareh, though the British were still in military
occupation of that town, Shaikh Jabir opened negotiations with His Royal
Highness Khanlar Mirza, the Persian Governor of ''Arabistan, who had
retreated to Dizful, with a view to ensuring his own retention as Shaikh
of Muhammareh; and he seems to have thought that his own loyalty
would be rendered more conspicuous in the eyes of the Persian Govern
ment were the British authorities to set up in his place—as had been
proposed and as he perhaps hoped—his rival, the Kaab Shaikh Faris.
Shaikh Jabir's residence was at this time at "^Da^aiji in Turkish
territory, whither he had apparently retired on or before the arrival of
the British military expedition ; and, with his usual astuteness, he did
not hesitate to engage in a correspondence on the subject of Muham
mareh with the Turkish authorities at Basrah also, to whose designs of
making good the Turkish claim to the place he even pretended to lend
himself. All these manoeuvres of his were not regarded as a bar to
the restitution of Muhammareh to his representative by the British
authorities, on the cessation of the British military occupation ; and the
Prince Governor
A Prince of the Royal line who also acted as Governor of a large Iranian province during the Qājār period (1794-1925).
, after the departure of the British forces, not only
confirmed Shaikh Jabir in possession of Muhammareh but placed him
in charge of Fallahiyeh, also, removing Shaikh Faris to make way for
him.
On the recall of His Royal Highness Khanlar Mirza from ■'Arabistan
and the appointment in his stead of the Ziya-ul-Mulk, Shaikh Jabir fell
for a time on evil days. A successful rebellion against his authority took
place at Fillahiyeh ; the Ka'ab defeated the Muhaisin in a great battle
at Munikh on the Bahmanshir and even occupied Muhammareh, where
Shaikh Faris, with Persian military support, installed his brother
Hashim as his representative; and the new Persian Governor, having
treacherously decoyed Shaikh Jabir from his asylum at Da/aiji in
Turkish territory to his own camp at Moran on the Karun, on pretence
of arranging with him for a joint attack upon Pallahiyeh, there treacher
ously made him a prisoner. The Shaikh was afterwards sent in custody
to Shustar, his son being handed over as a hostage to the Ka'ab chief,
and apparently remained under detention until the end of the Ziya-ul-
Mulk^s Government.
