Mr. Marling to Sir Edward Grey.—{Received September 28.)
Sir, Gulahek, September 10, 1908.
I HAVE the honour to transmit to you herewith the monthly summary of events
in Persia for the period the 13th August to the 10th September, 1908.

(Signed) ’ CHARLES M. MARLING.
Tnclosure in No. 249.
Monthly Summary.
Ispahan.
ON the Shiraz road two posts were robbed in the last days of July. The Yezd-
Kerman and Yezd-Ispahan roads are infested with robbers, and the posts are continually
delayed. The Deputy Governor of Kerman w T as attacked and robbed on his way to
that town on the 30th July.
A crowd of Persians having interfered with the school teachers of the Mission
school, Dr. Aganoor sent four men of the Consular escort to the school, after which the
interference ceased.
Though the news of the grant of a Constitution to Turkey and telegrams from
the priests at Nejef and Kerbela supporting the Nationalists in Persia have encouraged
the local priests to interfere somewhat with the Deputy Governor’s administration, no
active opposition to the new regime has been shown.
Yezd.
The collection of the additional taxes which led to the agitation here two
months ago is now being carried out by the Governor. Opposition is suppressed by
force, and several men of a crowd who wished to take sanctuary in protest against the
taxes have been severely beaten by the Governor’s troops.
Kerman.
A popular movement has sprung up in the districts, and Rubbar, Jiruft, and
Rudbar are affected. Troops have been sent to quell the rising.
Shiraz.
The town of Shiraz and the Province of Ears appear to have quickly relapsed
into disorder since the departure of Zil-es-Sultan. Robberies of posts are frequent,
and there appears to be no control over the tribesmen.
Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. .
Bushire.
With the departure of the Zil-es-Sultan unrest has appeared in Ears. Fighting
has broken out on the Shiraz road between the Chiefs of Kunar Takhte and Kemarej,
and between the latter and Kazeroon.
The' Governor has dispensed with the services of the regular troops, who
formed the garrisons at Bushire and the other Gulf ports, and has raised local levies
in their place.
Bunder Abbas.
Ektedar-i-Nizam has been appointed Deputy Governor, and took over his duties
on the 28th July.
