In January 1889 ; shortly before Colonel Goldsmid's visit, a letter
objectionable in its tone was received by tbe Assistant
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
at Gwadar from Ibrahim Khan ; Governor of Bampur ; in which tlie
writer

intimated that he had not been authorised by his GoTernment to
let the telegraph be carried beyond Gwadar; and his attitude so
alarmed the chiefs of Dashtyari and Bahu that they were at first unwill
ing to enter into negotiations for a British subsidy. Very shortly,
however, Ibrahim Khan informed Captain Ross in a courteously
worded communication that a copy of the Convention of 1868 had
reached him from his Government and that the work might proceed.
But his friendship seemed likely to be almost as embarrassing as his
opposition, for he " had received the orders of his Government to
aid us : he must come down to the coast : he must personally ascertain
that we have got all that we require : and his coming must be the
coming of a large body of armed men."" The Khan at first proposed
a meeting between Colonel Goldsmid and himself in Eahu, but the
prospect of his arrival so disturbed the people of that district that
Colonel Goldsmid twice wrote to assure him that his presence was
unnecessary ; and ; whether for this or for other reasons, he did not
appear in Bahu. At Chahbar a Persian envoy was found waiting
with proposals for a visit to be paid there to Colonel Goldsmid by
his master, who was then in Sarbaz; but the reply was that the
journey to the coast would be a needless trouble to the Khan and
again he did not come. His absence greatly facilitated matters and
enabled Colonel Goldsmid to conclude telegraph agreements with the
local chiefs in which no reference was made either to Ibrahim Khan
himself or to the authority of the Persian Government.
Continued During Colonel Goldsmid^s tour along the Makran coast Ibrahim
attitud^of -^an hovered in the interior to the northward, at first in Sarbaz, later
towards ^ Pishin, threatening descents in various directions; and, about the time
Kalat, 1869» ^at Colonel Goldsmid finished his task, it became known that the
Khan had demanded tribute of Mir Murad, Chief of Tump in Kalat
territory, with vague and misleading references to an understanding
between the British and Persian Governments. Tump was near Kaij,
head quarters of the Kalat administration in Makran, to which the
1 ersian Deputy Governor might almost equally well have laidcjaio 1.
His action, which may have been prompted by the Gichki refuge
Muhammad Khan, then in his camp, was successfully counteracted bj
Faqir Muhammad, Naib of Kaij, who at once took effectual steps
support the Chief of Tump. Ibrahim Khan then quitted his position on
