My telegram 125. State of town is worse to-day as I anticipated from
Amir’s attitude yesterday. _ If Amir does no at once suppress agitation by force,
if necessary, which he has in abundance, either he or Finance Department must
go-
There has been no violence to Europeans yet but it is threatened and sup
plies to Consulate were yesterday stopped on the way. If the Amir would
seize or threaten ring-leaders it might suffice. I was told that they are following
but I have no certainty :—Agha Yahya, Jamal-ud-Din, Nasrat-i-Mumalik and
his son and Mirza Ali Muhammad.
Persian Government might, I think, be informed that claims will be lodged
for daily loss to carpet companies which they should recover from Amir whose
pay could be stopped.
Amir in any case should not be dismissed till (he has ?) restored order,
Gendarmes arrive, and new Governor-General arranged for, otherwise matters
may become worse.
Following report just received :
Amir’s notices have been torn down, and police complain to Eastern Rug
Company that Amir forbade them to interfere, also that they proposed to arrest
Haji Saiyid Ali Baghkhani and Haji Qasim Zaim who, they say, are the principal
ring-leaders and take security from them but that Amir prohibited this also.
Telegram R., No. 127, dated (and received) 9th October 1913.

To—His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran.
(Repeated Resident, Bushire, No. 181.)
My telegram 126. Following may be of interest to you.
I think Amir’s attitude, which has gone beyond his original intention, is due
to my hints of two or three months ago not to oppress excessively, to the coming
of the Gendarmerie, and to his failure to extract from Lecoffre payment of
unwarrantable expedition claims and of 10,000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
mentioned in my tele
gram 124.
He has collected much money but, I believe, is bled by Samsam who keeps
a spy here to watch his takings.
I have hitherto supported Amir through good and evil report in view of
supreme public benefit of security. This once gone there is no further reason
for supporting him. When news of town disturbances reaches districts distur
bances will probably start there also.
