Chaiili, oar tain accusations into the nature of which it is un
necessary to enter in detail, since lour Excellency is already
familiar with it from the correspondence which has passed on
the subject. j*o serious proof of the truth of these accusations
was ever offered, nor was any opportunity ever given to the Shaikh
to disprove the charges brought against him, which he was perfect
ly able and tilling to do. On the contrary, the ;all totally
ignored a friendly and conciliatory letter addressed to him by
the oneixh, expressing the intention of proceeding to ^ussorah
to discuss the matters in dispute, and, further, on the Shaikh^
arrival there on the Idth April, moat unjustifiably -and discour
teously refused to receive him at ail.
The iihaixh had no alternative but to return to . oharamerah. On
the SE4th April the ^ali issued circular instructions to the
local officials under his jurisdiction summarily to remove all
headmen dependent on the hhaixh, and on the 05th April during
the latter's absence at Ahwaz, the iurxish gun-boat M I.;armaris H
acting on orders of iiazif hoy, shelled the village of Zain be
longing to the ohaikh, which was afterwards looted and destroyed
by Turkish soldiers, in the course of t^is attack the house of
the onaikh's mother was burnt, and one of his wives died from
shock caused by the bombardment•
on the 26th April the Wall, in two official letters addressed
to the Persian Consul at Bussorah, went so far as to threaten
action against ;-ohar.mierah itself in the event of failure to
comply with his demcinds.
in spite of the injury and provocation w; ich he had received,
ohai*h idiuzal continued to bo guided by the advice of Uis Zajestys
Government by maintaining a conciliatory attitude, by restraining
his agents and supporters from any aggressive action, and by
adopting their suggestions with respect to the wording of his
communications with the wall. The latter, on the contrary,
displayed strong resentment at the attempts made by nis ajostys
Consul at *>ussorah, under instructions from uis najesty's
Government
