PERSIA.
Mohammerah. {24th May—30th June.)
The Persian Crown Prince arrived at Mohammerah on the 25th May by
S.S. Varsova. He stayed the night with the Sheikh of Mohammerah, proceeding
to Basrah the following day en route to Tehran.
Sheikh Abdul Majid’s tyrannical behaviour towards Persians and British
subjects has culminated in his dragging Mr. Kennedy, a British subject and an
employee of Messrs. Strick Scott & Co., Ltd., out of his house and having him flogged
in the road, handcuffed and imprisoned. The Resident has demanded the dis
missal of Sheikh Abdul Majid by the Sheikh of Mohammerah, and that he should
be fined Rs. 1,000, out of which Rs. 750 is to be paid to Mr. Kennedy as compen
sation. The Sheikh, who is now in Ahwaz, has agreed to proceed to Mohammerah
when he has disposed of tribal questions in about a fortnight’s time, and dismiss
Sheikh Abdul Majid. It remains to keep His Excellency up to his promise.
Ahwaz. {28th May — 10th June.)
His Excellency the Sheikh of Mohammerah has, at the request of the
Gbvernor-General and Sheikh Mohamcd Reza Hujjat ul Islam, restored the Dacha
estate to the Kalantar family and ordered that this year’s revenue be paid to
them.
Major Mohamed Hassan has telegraphed from Shushtar to the Sheikh of
Mohammerah saying that when he has organised the military force for Dizful
and Shushtar he proposes with the sanction of headquarters to visit the Sheikh at
Ahwaz.
Dizful. {28th May — 10th June.)
The Governor-General has informed His Majesty’s Vice-Consul that he is
entirely out of funds and that none of the last amount of revenue paid by the
Sheikh of Mohammerah reached his hands. He is endeavouring to obtain some
money from the Customs Authorities at Mohammerah.
The Governor-General intends to make his headquarters in Dizful during the
hot weather, leaving his deputy Nassir Quli Khan in charge at Shushtar.
Isfahan. (21st May — 11th June.)
The Minister of War has notified the Treasury Agent that discussion with
the Foreign Legations regarding the payment of Nevaqil dues by foreigners
are now completed and that immediate steps are to be taken to collect the tax
from all British subjects and other foreign residents.
Dr. Manucher, a wealthy Parsee of Bombay, passed through Isfahan en route to
Tehran at the beginning of the month. It is understood that he has come to Persia
in connection with the desire of a large number of the Parsee community in India
to settle in Persia provided that the Persian Government will give permission
and facilities.
The military are reported to have dealt successfully with two bands of robbers
in the vicinity of Abadeh. The Yezd road is again said to be disturbed.
The Russian Consul-General has paid a visit to Haji Agha Norullah and in
the course of a long conversation is reported to have assured him that the Soviet
, policy and programme in no way conflicted with the laws and principles of Islam,
and added that Soviet Russia respected the religions of all nations and held them
in honour and esteem.
Many peasants from the surrounding villages visit the Russian Consul-
General, and he is reported to sympathise with them in their grievances and to offer
them assurances of redress.
