Early in April the Sheikh received tele
grams from the Samsam at Ispahan and Saiyid
Murtaza of Bushire, calling on him to prevent
the Darya Begi, who was at Baghdad, from re
turning to Bushire. The Samsam also pressed
the Sheikh to remit the customs receipts to
Ispahan for the expenses of a march on the
capital. To the latter request the Sheikh
replied that the British authorities had
officially notified him that the Mohammerah
customs must not be touched, being pledged
to them. As regards the former question, the
Sheikh, who had at the same time been
appealed to by the authorities at Tehran
to provide the Darya Begi with 300 riflemen,
was again urged by Sir G. Barclay, whose
advice he asked, not to mix himself up
in party politics. Major Cox also instructed
His Majesty’s Consul at Mohammerah to advise
the Sheikh privately to take a trip up the
Karun when tne Darya Begi was nearing
Mohammerah.

could not comply without consulting the
Government of India, as two or three Arab
Sheikhs claimed rights in the island. On the
25th April, Major Cox was asked to arrange
