Persian .Baluchistan. —No action was taken against Dost Mohamed of Bam-
pur during the year although it had been expected that a military expedition
would be sent agains. him in the autumn. The embarrassments of the Persian
Oovernment in other parts of the country prevented this intention from materia
lizing. Dost Mohamed was appointed Governor of Persian Baluchistan under
the Governor-General of Kerman; but according to His Excellency Nizam-ud-
Dauleh he will only retain his position until the Persian Government is free to
subdue him. Meanwhile he has not paid a Kran of revenue though he continue^
to send abundant promises to pay. The intentions of the Persian Government in
regard to Dost Mohamed appear however to be extremely nebulous. 'The Officer
Commanding, Kerman, talks airily of an expedition 2,000 strong in the autumn
of 1925. But it seems certain that he has no definite instructions from Tehran
on the subject.

to Charbar with a letter to the Director in which he declared his
friendship to the British Government. His agents appear to have made a
vigorous effort to collect taxes in the Bahu district ; it was reported that a
majority of the inhabitants of that district fled to avoid paying the taxes.
The peace of the Dashtyari district was disturbed by a quarrel (in the absence

Mahmud Khan on return from Mecca, left for Bampur to see Mir Dost Mohamed
