Sa ad-ul-Mulk; and some outlying districts such as Dashtistan, Tangistan
and Dashti went to His Royal Highness Nauzar Mirza.
At the beginning of the year the Nasir-ul-Mulk had been in charge
of Bushehr ; but from about April to July he had been absent at Shiraz ;
during which time Haidar Quli Khan^ and later Sartip Haji Ahmad
Khan, had officiated for him; and on his return, though he brought with
him 200 infantry and 400 mounted men, he had found it necessary
to resign m consequence of the intrigues of his brother the Sahib Divan
against him at Shiraz, and had been succeeded by Shahzadeh Nauzar
Mirza. It was by this prince that Bushehr was eventually handed over
to the Amin-us-Sultan's representative, the Sa'ad-ul-Mulk.
In 1891 or 1892 the Sa^ad-ul-Mulk was replaced by his brother the
Nizam-us-Saltaneh, but in the latter part of 1892 the Nizam-us-Saltaneh
was called to the Governorship of Fars and transferred Bushehr to his
nephew, Biza Quli Khan. After a short interval the Sa'ad-ul-Mulk
lesumed the government of Bushehr, but he continued to reside chiefly
at Shiraz.
In March 1894, at the beginning of the Persian official year, the
government of the Gulf Ports passed to the Qavvam-ul-Mulk of Shirazj
but he did not arrive at Bushehr, the headquarters of his administration;
till the following July. He was re-appointed in 1895; but intrigues
which had been organised against him by a coalition of merchants resulted
in his resignation in March 1896, before he had quite completed his
second year of office.
It haying been suggested to him from Tehran that the Malik-ut-
Tu J^ r ^i^ht with advantage be temporarily removed from Bushehr, he
imprudently attempted to remove that personage in a forcible and
ignominious manner. The result was that the Malik took sanctuary at
the Imamzadeh near Sabzabad, while noisy demonstrations in his favour
were got up in the town, the shops being shut and business brought to a
standstill, and the telegraph office besieged by excited crowds of
memorialists,—circumstances which the Qavvam-ul-Mulk's adversaries
did not xail to torn to account.
On the resignation of the Qavvam-ul-Mulk the Hisam -us -Saltaneh
was appointed Governor of the Gulf Ports, but he did not reach Bushehr
until June 1896, after the death of the Shah.
Dilam, as we have seen, was included in the province of Behheban
at the commencement of the period now under consideration; and the
at which it was brought under the Government of Fars, or mots
probably—as a Gulf Port-under Bushehr cannot be exactly tod.
