Dr. Dady, who arrived in Shiraz some months ago, told His Majesty's Consul
a similar story, that many Parsis in Bombay were dissatisfied with their recent
treatment by the Hindu population,that they were not wanted or liked and many
thought of leaving. ^
Following upon the telegram of about 9th March from the Central Govern
ment enquiring whether the Governor General was ready to incorporate the Govern
ment of Bahbehan and the Kuhgilu in Fars, and his reply that he would require a.
military force of at least 200 men at Bahbehan before he could undertake the res
ponsibility, the Officer Commanding troops in Fars alleges that he has received
orders from the Ministry of War to furnish 300—500 men for Bahbehan.
According to the Governor General and other sources, the position in Mamasanni
is stalemate. The obstinacy of Haji Moin-ut-Tujjar is the stumbling-block. Imam
Quli Khan has told the latter’s son and the Governor General’s officers repeatedly
that he is ready to pay all rent due, but cannot agree to one of his Kadkhudas
being made independent of himself. Haji Muin is understood to have spent 30.000
Ts. during the past six months in rationing the force, and other ways. At the
same time, according to the Governor General, Soulet-ud-Douleh wants to buy
Mamasanni from Haji Muin, while Qawam-ul-Mulk is secretly encouraging Imam
Quli Khan with the object of forcing a sale to himself, and Farman Farma is
another would-be purchaser.
The action of Moin-ut-Tujjar in importing the assistance of the bulk of the
Government force for 6 months in an endeavour to arrange terms of rent with his
tenant has had no good result for the prestige of the new Army organization in Fars.
Sardar

Xasir, Deputy Governor General, had a conversation on the 20th
March o\er the I. E. T. D. wire with the Deputy Governor of Dashtistan, when
the latter urged that unless Agha Khan of Shabankareh were dealt with firmly the
Bushire-Shiraz road would be endangered, revenue impossible to collect, audit
would be useless for him to remain there.

The house, formally tenanted by Colonel Fraser, now occupied by Mr. A. Dixon
and Mr. Heaton of the firm of H. C. Dixon and Co., Ltd., Manchester, was burgled
on the night of the 27th instant and over £100 worth of clothing belonging to them
stolen from the room next their bedrooms. Ten nights previously the Telegraph
u per in ent ent s ouse and the I elegraph offices were visited by thieves who were
disturbed by dogs and got away. An attempt was also made some weeks ago on
the house of the motor engineer, Mr. Cox, next to the Consulate, but the Indian
sentry mounted the roof and fired on Mrs. Cox’s cries for help. The Consulate
quarters outside the town is thus unsafe at night. The Minister of War has
removed all soldier guards from Persian and British Government offices, and local
police nave been substituted.
