History of
Tangistan,
1896—1905.
and at the middle of the month the Khan of Angali arrived at Shif witli
an armed levy to join the gathering, The object of the preparations was
studiously concealed ; but there was little doubt that coercion of tlie
Khan of Eig, who was then resisting the establishment of a Customs post
at his port^ was contemplated. In the end the tumultuary force
was quietly disbanded without having been employed, operations having
been prohibited at the last moment by the central Government, to
whom the Salar-i-Mu^azzam had reported the matter. The history of
particular places and districts follows.
The winter rains of 1896-97 having failed there was in 1897 a great
scarcity of grain at Bushehr and in its neighbourhood, and heavy importa
tion of food stuffs from abroad took place, notably of rice from Burma.
That the conditions at Bushehr did not amount to actual famine and that
public relief did not seem to be immediately required were circumstances
quoted by the British Resident as proving an increase of prosperity among
the people since the great famine of 1870—72. The Resident obtained
the sanction of Government, however, for the utilisation, in case of
necessity, of a balance remaining in his charge of the famine relief fund
of 1872.
During the prevalence of scarcity there was considerable insecurity m
and about Bushehr; and in 1897 the Persian soldiers of the garrison, who
suffered from official neglect as well as from high prices, took sanctuary
at the flagstaff of the British
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
and demanded their pay, which
was five months in arrear, from the Persian authorities ; but the matter
having been satisfactorily settled, they returned to duty.
A timely fall of rain in March 1898, following a second failure of the
usual winter rains, averted distress which must otherwise have been wide
spread and severe.
In 1905, owing partly to the dissatisfaction of the people of I 1 ais
with the Shu'-us-Saltaneh^s government and partly, perhaps, to a
lawless and anarchical spirit which was abroad among them, the Bushehr
Shiraz road became disturbed and unsafe.
The feud in Tangistan between the rival Chiefs Haidar Khan and Ah
Khan, begun in 1879 or earlier, continued in the reign of Muzaffar-^
Din Shah. In the autumn of 1896 difficulty arose in connection
the removal from ''Ali Khan^s jurisdiction of certain villages on the
coast, which had been sanctioned ; and Persian troops, with guns f l0m
the Persian gunboat " Persepolis,^ were sent to help Haidar Khan 111
enforcing the measure and in collecting revenue. After a colhsi 011
between the opposing force?, an arrangement of some kind was effected,
