Appendix E.
THE GOVERNOR OF KARMAN.
Abdul Hussein Khan, the Governor of Karman and Persian Baluchistan, is
a great-grandson of Path Ali Shah, and is also the son-in-law of the Vali Ahd,
having married his daughter, then a child of fourteen, some six years ago. He
has two sons, who are being educated in France. He was formerly Commander-
in-Chief of the army of Azerbaijan, and during the tobacco riots behaved very
well. Upon the death of his brother he was appointed to the governorship of
Karman, with the title of Ferman Ferma.
The Bandar Abbas disturbances .—Owing to the intrigues of the Kawam
against the Rukn-ud-Dowleh, Governor of Pars, the Baharlus who reside near
Darab commenced robbing on the Bandar-Abbas road, and the Governor of
Karman was ordered to disperse them, in conjunction with the Governors of
Pars and of the
Persian Gulf

ports.
This was the cause of his journey, of which I was given a very fairly accu
rate account, and which is extremely valuable, as showing the capabilities of the
country. He had with him—
800 infantry (regular).
2,500 irregular infantry, i.e. y villagers changed pretty frequently.
200 sowars.
His transport consisted of—
700 camels.
400 mules.
300 horses (including the horses of the sowars).
He also had three guns as far as Dosari, and from Dosari one gun, which
was dragged the whole distance.
The result of the campaign was that the Baharlus, under an outlawed Chief
Riza Khan, whom I saw taking part in the fight at Shiraz, retired gradually to
behind Darab. The Ferman Ferma pursued them with great ardour, and on
one occasion ten of his sowars were caught in a trap, stripped and sent back. He
killed about thirty-two men, but mostly upon the suspicion that they were spies.
When he was at Parez, he heard of my arrival and asked me to travel with him
as far as Bahramabad, which I did. He treated me with the greatest courtesy
and friendship, and impressed me as an extremely able man.
