of Gch Sardar Husain Khan because of
some damage dono to the telegraph lino, and appointed Alir Moulndad Khan,
and Sayyid Mahomed Khan, Collectors of revenuo in tho districts of
Dusht, liijan, Kumurklmnd, Scrbaz, Kucha, Charhar and Biiliu ; and asked that
the balance of the telegraph subsidy might be sent to him (Governor) through
Sayyid Mahomed.
117. Colonol Boss was of opinion that the subsidy should be paid to tho
local ohief direct and not as subsidy but
Extl. A., November 1888, Nos. 38*41.
as reward for good service done. The
Porsian Government receive in addition to the amounts paid to the local
chiefs a subsidy of Its. 12,000 a year under the Telegraph Convention for tho
Perso-Balochistan lino, and could not claim the local subsidy should be paid
through their Persian Governors at Bampur. The question then was who was
tho local Baluchi chieftain appointed by the Persian Government.
118. It was ultimately decided by Colonel Boss that as the Sartip of
Bampur had authority to appoint a

local Governor, the balanco of the
subsidy could be paid to Sayyid Mahomed who had been placed in charge of
the Geh district (Colonel Boss’s telegram No. 4‘J0, dated 24th November 1888).

was released only in June 1888, but
Mir Abdul Nabbi was in confinement till 1890. 11 was believed that their alleged
friendship towards the British was at the bottom of this mysterious afTair (Colonel
Ross’s No. 219, dated 12th July 1888). In this connection sec history of the
Jask Station, chapter VIII.

the rumour was that he would not be released unless he paid 4,000 krans and
gave a substantial security for good behaviour in future.

121. The rule of Sartip Abdul Fath Khan, who was made Governor of
Persian Baluchistan in 1887 was attended
Extl. A., September 1889, No*. 166*179.
by an amount of oppression, barbarity,
cruelty and outrages, rarely surpassed during the Persian dominion corrupt and
oppressive as it always had been. In his brother Mohsin Khan he found a
worthy instrument in his misrule. In 1889 the exasperation of the Baluchis
reached such a pitch that most of the chiefs revoltod and besieged him in his
fort at Bampur. In August 1889 it was reported that Abul hath Khan was
captured by Murad Khan (Telegram from the clerk in charge Charbar to the
Director, Karachi,-dated 20th August 1889). Another account says that it was
Zemal Abadin Khan, who seized him and took him a prisoner to Kerman (news
repqrt from the Native Assistant to Political Agent, Gwadur, dated 25th July
1889).
122. Zain-al-Abadin Klian was appointed to succeed Abul Fath Khan, and
