district being greatly in arrear and the Persian Government being
about to resort to coercion, the Shaikh of Muhammareh interposed
and paid a large sum into the Persian Treasury on account of the tribe.
This advance not being repaid him, Shaikh Khaz^al in the autumn of
1903 obtained leave from the Persian Government to put pressure on
the Bani Turuf, and proceeded to collect a force of his own subjects,
with a few guns, at Bandar Muzaffari on the Karun. Before the
end of January 1904 he had received a reinforcement of some Persian
cavalry from Dizful, and the Bakhtiyari Khans had sent him a
contingent of 100 mounted men along with a complimentary message.
In February a small detachment of Persian infantry from Bushehr,
and at the beginning of March another from Dizful, joined his camp. The
Yamm-i-Nizam, as commanding the Persian military forces in 'Arabi-
stan and as representing His Royal Highness the Salar-ud-Dauleh,
who was in Luristan, also came to Bandar Muzaffari; and at the
end of March the heterogeneous force under its two leaders, advanced
on Hawizeh. The Bani Turuf submitted without resistance, and

with the Shiakh of Muhammareh. The joint expedition, to which
the Salar contributed 1,300 men, started on the 19th October 1905.
Again there was no fighting; but the settlement made was more
satisfactory than on the previous occasion. Out of a balance of 87,000
Tumans said to be now due by the Bani Turuf on account of seven
years arrears, it was stated that they paid up 40.000, and had given
security, though of a doubtful kind, for the remainder ; one of their
Chiefs, Haji Sabhan, who refused to submit to the overlordship of
the Shaikh of Muhammareh, was driven into exile; 'Ali Minaishid
an air 'Ah, two other chiefs, were placed in charge of the tribe ;
an another, named Sharhan was given up to Shaikh Khaz/al Khan
as a hostage.
In the same year fighting took place between the Bani Saleh and
