of the Afghan Amir, if successful at Herat, would be an invasion of
Khurasan with Turkman support. Sultan Murad Mirza ; better known
as the Hesam -us-Saltaneh, was accordingly posted at Qalandarabad
between Mashhad and the Herat frontier with a force of 14,000 men,
including 6,000 regular infantry, ostensibly to hold Turkmans in check ;
}[:, Eastwick of the British Legation at Tehran, who had served
under Sir J. Outram in Sind and had held charge of Shikarpur during
the Afghan war, was deputed to the Persian camp, though for what
purpose is not very clear. Mr. Eastwick had a correspondence, but of
avery ordinary character, with Dost Muhammad Khan, whom he
proposed to visit but did not visit j and his non-interference to prevent
the fall of Herat caused acute disappointment to the Persians, who had
counted on his intervention. There was force in the Persian argument
that the case was one in which, under the Agreement of 1853, the British
it i Government ought to have lent their good offices ; but there was force
II also in the Afghan contention that the Persians had, by inducing Sultan
in Ahmad Khan to coin money and have the Khutbah read in the name of
it I: the Shah of Persia, forfeited their claim to the benefits of British inter-
Ofiti; vention.

On the death of Dost Muhammad Khan, Shir ^Ali Khan, whom he Government
rilt _ ; . .. of Herat by
liad nominated to be his successor, hurried to Kabul, leaving Herat ^in Muhammad
charge of his son Muhammad Ya^qub Khan. The Young Khan succeeded
, in maintaining himself in possession during the troubles which ensued
j throughout Afghanistan, and observed a correct but altogether independent
^ attitude towards the Persian Government. Herat thereafter remained a
province of Afghanistan and did not again give rise to differences between
^ Britain and Persia,
tuili
In 1863 a dispute arose between the Persian Government and the Perso -Af-
Afghans in regard to the frontier province of Sistan; and the good offices fi^gard^to
of the British Government were invoked by Persia, but were withheld, ^^872
Afghanistan being then in a state of confusion. Persia profited by the re-
611 fusalof Britain to intervene by occupying a part of Sistan between 1864
|l and 1866 ; and in 1867 she strengthened her hold on the territory thus
annexe ^' In 1870 Shir'Ali Khan, whose power in Agfanistan was by
ao ^ this time consolidated, began to move in the question; and an armed
I conflict between Afghanistan and Persia seeming not improbable, the
p British Government at last consented to arbitrate. The result was an
jgltk 3 a ^ ar d passed in 1872 by Colonel Goldsmid, the British Commissioner
\ which was accepted, though under protest, by both parties*
