CHAPTER IV.
ADMINISTRATION REPORT FOR KERMAN FOR THE NINE
MONTHS ENDING 31ST DECEMBER 1908.
The personnel of the British Consulate remained unchanged during theBrid.!.
year. Consulate.
M. Adamoff held charge throughout the year of the Russian Consulate
M. and Mdm Petrofl did not stay very long in Kerman. It soon
became noticeable that the anticipated pleasure of their company was dis
appointed. Relations between the Adamoffs and Petroffs became more and
more strained till one day early in May things seemed to reach a crisis and
the Petrons leit at three days notice in anticipation of sanction. M. PetrofE
himself went down to the bazaar and sold off his belongings by auction without
reserve and returned to Tehran.
The town remained in the hands of the Nazim-ut-Tujjar and Haii Local
Ibrahim Naib-farrash until April when the Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. -i-Motazid arrived As vomcB -
the Salar-i-Mansur he had been here with the Farman Farina and owns
several carpet factories m the town so that he was well-known and well
informed on local conditions, and it was hoped that he would be a success
as Governor. The hopes however were shortlived. He seemed afraid of
any responsibility and to have only the one idea of keeping himself out of
any fighting that might take place. He would not call back the Adil-es-
hultanen into the town nor forbid him to come in. When the Adil-es-Sultaneh
came m to the Bagh-i-Nishat and the Naib's party threatened to attack him
and his sympathisers the Governor remained absolutely passive and prepared
to watch them fight it out. Things remained in this unsatisfactory and
tnreatening condition until the Shah's coup d'etat in June when the Naib
lost his last hold on the town and fled to Mahun where he took " bast" in
tne shrine.
The popular party in Bam did not collapse so quickly. The Rafat-i-
mzarn who had terrorised Bam and Narmashir much as Haji Naib had done
m Jierman collected a force with which he threatened to relieve the Naib at
a un and to march on to Kerman. He moved with unusual celerity for
ersia and it seemed as if the local authorities were going to let him find them
i unprepared but they luckily got a force out to Mahun the evening before
e item force arrived and in the morning, when the Rafat-i-Nizam tried to
e ouch from the hills, the guns shelled the head of the column and drove
inf H fi? -d ^ escaped out of Mahun disguised as a woman and
in if ^ a f a t-i-Nizam with the news that the popular cause was hopeless
fhp "^ ain : ^ orce retired crestfallen to Narmashir. Meanwhile
ami Khans had called out the sarbazes and sowars and the Rafat-i-
zam and his men found themselves cut off from Bam. They made a wide
pTitr Ur ? n j roun( ^ to Regan and Fahraj, which belongs to the Rafat, and
enched themselves there. Nothing would persuade the Bami Khans to

gijaUy melted away and the Bami Khans having been superseded by Wali

confp ° , re ^ e ^ pf everyone, even the most enthusiastic Constitutionalist
ssing that, as interpreted in Kerman, the Mashruteh was not a success.
