3 months ago between the Bakhtiari Khans, SouIet-ed-Dowleh and Qawam-ul-
Mulk which amounted to a defensive alliance to oppose acts of aggression by the
Central Government against any of the three parties. The intermediary is said
to have been Moin-ul-Islam Behbehani, resident of Shiraz.
It is said that the Khans intend to bring south a larger force than usual this
summer and that they intend to bring pressure to bear on the Shaikh of Moham-
merah, presumably with a view to securing a share of the Arabistan properties of
the late Nizam-es-Sultaneh.

A Dutch subject named Pater who recently arrived from Tehran in the hope of
obtaining employment with P. P. Ter Meulen has been trving to enlist the sympathy
of His Majesty’s Consul in a dispute which he has with Ter Meulen. He asserts
that when he was in Tehran he received telegrams from Ter Meulen which led him
to believe that the latter had lucrative employment to offer him, but on arrival at

is leaving this dispute severely alone.
