PEKS1A—PERSIAN BALUCHISTAN AND KERMAN.
37
Aloliamed Kiuaii of tlie (jovemorsliip of lialucliistan, and in October a
con-certed attack was begun on iiampur, wkicli was occupied in November.
Dost AloJiamed Klian fled to Sarbaz and, after prolonged negotiations,
sued for pardon, winch was granted in February 1929 on condition that
he should come to Tehran and tender his submission in person to the
Shah. This he did in April, and was well received by the Shah, but
was kept in honourable captivity from which he escaped in November.
He was recaptured in December and taken to Tehran; where, in January
1930, he was tried, found guilty and executed for the murder of the
Persian policemen in charge of him at the time of his escape.
The safety of the Indo-European Telegraph Department line from
the British border to Jask was provided for by the payment of subsidies
to the local Baluch chiefs. In the unsettled conditions caused by the
Dreat W ar, however, they" were unable to control one Khair Mohamed,
an Afghan of Sirhingi known locally as the Xhalifah. In 1915 this
individual attacked the outposts at J ask and Chahbar, destroying the
telegraph lines. He was repulsed and the lines were repaired; but early
in 191b ne again did extensive damage to the line: and, in view of the
importance of communication with Mesopotamia, a cable was laid
between Jask and Chahbar as an alternative to the land line.
In March 1924 the control of the tribes of the Sarhad district of
Persian Baluchistan (who had enjoyed subsidies paid by 7 the British
Crovernment subsequent to the occupation of the country in 1915-1916}
was formally surrendered to the Persian Government, who undertook to
continue the payments hitherto made by the British authorities. The
Persians, however, failed to keep this undertaking: and disturbances
broKe out in the Sarhad during the summer of 1925 and again in 1926,
owing partly 7 to the high handed methods of certain of the military
officials and partly to discontent due to non-receipt of the subsidies.
The disturbances were quelled, wuthout serious fighting, after further
assurances had been given by the Persian Government.
In 1926 Consular charge of the Sarhad was transferred from the
Kerman to the Sistan Consulate.
In 1927 a Soviet Consul was appointed to Sistan.
