The Bozchali regiment in Shiraz
Shiraz
Sixty-four men of the Buz-Chalu regiment entered the
Consulate on the 14th October and refused to leave until the arrears
of two years’ pay had been given them. His Majesty’s Acting Consul did not
intervene, but all left by the 21st October, the Persian authorities
having paid them in full.
The Kamareh regiment, 600 strong, arrived about the 20th
October.
The district of Lar is reported to be terrorized by
Seyed Abdul Hussein Lari, who has announced that to pay revenue to the present
Shah is contrary to Islam.
Robberies are still of frequent occurrence on both the
Ispahan and Bushire roads. A post was recently robbed near Sivend and the
driver of the postal wagon brutally murdered. Several robberies have also occurred
in the immediate neighbourhood of the town.
