(Repeated Resident, Bushire, No. 185.)
My telegram 127. State of town Is daily growing worse. To-day people
are armed with sticks and such guns as they have and safety of Persians who
are believed hostile to agitation is being threatened.
Orders from Cabinet in Tehran are expected to day but in no circumstances
now do I look for any useful action from Amir as he is irretrievably committed
and this is universally know. Persian Government will probably have to make
some sort of concession to popular feeling and only thing I can think of, short of
complete surrender, is removal from Kerman of Mirza Ibrahim Khan and his
relations.
Consulate is rightly recognized as having consistently supported Finance
Department and so shares its unpopularity. Further being unable to suggest
withdrawal of the taxes and complete nullification of Finance Department
entailed thereby I cannot attempt the role of peace-maker.
