officially published by the Governor General though it found its way into the
local press, and soon became generally known. It was received apparently
with the utmost distrust and hostility.
His Majesty’s Consul endeavoured to persuade the Governor General to send a A
congratulatory telegram, but this he absolutely refused to do, and, apart from
his personal feelings, any such telegram would have probably alienated the whole
of Shiraz from him.
The closing of the Adliyeh is very unpopular, even though it is admitted that
it is in urgent need of reform, and it has had the effect of making other Govern
ment Departments very anxious as to their fate.

Minister.
is here and condemns everything con
nected with the coup d'etat in the n osb unhesitating terms. The Qawam is pro
bably delaying his return so as to avoid entanglement.
' The following points come in for specially unfavourable comment:—
1. Apparent and entire disappearance of the Medjliss.
2. Imprisonment without trial of an unknown number of individuals.
3. Stoppage of, initially, telegrams and posts.
4. Closure of Adliyeh. •
5. Obvious British support of the movement.
The state of the Province in general continues to be satisfactory, and it would
appear that though the Soulat is not unmindful of the expediency of paying off
past scores, he is yet handling his tribes effecrively and well.
At the request of the Persian Government a column of the South Persian
Rifles about 600 strong and consisting of all arms, left Shiraz for Tehran on March
2nd.
Lieutenant-Colonel W. A. K. Fraser, D.S.O., M.C., Inspector General of the
South Persian Rifles, left for Tehran by motor on the 5th of March.
Pehbehan.
Amir Mufakham and Amir Mujahid have dismissed the Kalantars of Beh-
behan, and Qanawat owing to the bitter complaints of the people against them.
Shukralla Khan has been appointed Kalantar of Qanawat, but it has not yet
been announced who will fill the appointment at Behbehan.
The Dilam, Mashur and Hendijan-Ram Hormuz roads are all safe.
Bushire.
. News of the coup d'etat in Tehran did not excite very much interest in Bu
shire. Local opinion is sceptical of the power of the new Government to carry
out such an ambitious programme of reforms.
His Excellency Muwaqqar-ed-Dowleh, the Governor of the Gulf Ports, has
been appointed Minister for Public Works in the New Cabinet, and His Excel
lency Masud-es-Sultan has succeeded him as Governor.
I Ghazanfar-us-Sultaneh has commenced the levying of Rahdari in spite of all
his assurances, and the collection of this illegal toll has rapidly spread up to the
road.
Zair Khidr has been installed in Aharm by Asaf-ul-Mulk as Khan of Ahram.
Mr. H. G. Chick, His Majesty’s Consul-designate at Shiraz, arrived at Bushire
on the 4th March and left for Shiraz on the 12th.
Mr. C. H. Gidney, I.C.S., arrived at Bushire on Wednesday, the 30th March,
in relief of Captain D. de M. S. Fraser, First Assistant Resident, who is shortly
proceeding to England on leave.
Monsieur A. Konoff, O.B.E., a Russian merchant in Bushire, died suddenly
from heart failure on Friday and was buried the same day in the Indo-European
Telegraph cemetery, Reshire.
