PERSIA.
Mohammerah .—His Excellency Musliar-ed-Dowleh, the new Governor-
General of Arabistan, arrived at Mohammerah in the Persian Government
ship “ Persepolis ” on the 3rd October. His Majesty’s Consul and the General
Manager of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company paid official calls on him the
same evening which were returned the following day. Mr. Jacks gave a small
informal dinner in his honour at which His Majesty’s Consul, Sheikh Chassib
and Haji Rais, were present, and the Governor-General left for Ahwaz on the
night of the 4th accompanied by the Karguzar, Sheikh Chassib and Haji Rais.
Sheikh Chassib on his return from Ahwaz on the 7th October convened a
meeting of all the leading notables and merchants of the town, and informed
them that he had with great reluctance and then only at the strict insistence
of his father, the Sheikh of Mohammerah, agreed to accept the post of Deputy
Governor of Mohammerah. He advised them not to tolerate oppression no
I matter from what source it should emanate, and that even if they thought that
he himself was the oppressor they should at once protest loudly against it.
His speech created an excellent impression on those present and on the general
populace.
As a proof of his good intentions he has announced that no fees are to be
levied in future on bellams bringing vegetables to the town.
Ahwas .—His Excellency the Sheikh of Mohammerah has received a
telegram from the Minister of War thanking him for his successful efforts in
., preserving law and order in Northern Arabistan during the interregnum
between the departure of the late and arrival of the new Governor-General.
His Excellency Mushar-ed-Dowleh, the new Governor-General, arrived
at Ahwaz on the evening of the 5th October. Excellent arrangements for his
reception were made by His Excellency the Sheikh, over 400 horsemen
proceeding some three farsakhs down the Karun to ‘ Istiqbal ’ and escort the
steamer. A salute of 11 guns was fired on his arrival.
On the evening of the 7th a dinner was given iuhonour of the Governor-
General at His Majesty’s Consulate. His Excellency the Sheikh (departing
from his usual custom of never going out after sunset) was present and the
heads of all the British firms were also invited. His Excellency Mushar-ed-
Dowleh in replying to short addresses of welcome by His Majesty’s Acting
Consul and His Excellency the Sheikh assured them of his friendly co-operation
for the furtherance of the interests of the Persian and British Governments in
Arabistan.
The Karguzar informed His Majesty’s Acting Consul that he had been
ordered by the Central Government to collect the signs, flags, seals, etc, in
the possession of Mr. P. P. Ter Meulen which were used when tbe latter was
Russian Consular Agent. Mr. Ter Meulen is understood to have advised the
Karguzar to refer the matter again to Tehran and to have more or less refused
to hand over his seals, etc.
Dizful .—Under the orders of the Sheikh of Mohammerah the village of
Sayyid Ahmad was surrounded and after a short struggle the Sayyid was
captured and is now detained under Sheikh Khallaf in the Dizful Mianab.
The Dizful district is thus rid of a man who has for years past been the cause
of unrest amongst tbe tribes to the South-West of Dizful and in the vicinity
of Shush and the Luristan sections which come down to the plains in the
winter. It will be remembered that he was responsible under the orders of
Mirza Abdulla Khan for raising the tribes and assisting in the arrest of
Sadiq Khan, tbe Head of the Sagwand tribe, last spring.
