attracted the attention of the British and Indian
Governments for the first time.
In 1880 ; when it was placed beyond doubt that large quantities of
percussion caps exported from India to Persia were reaching the Afghan
troops at Herat and elsewhere^ the Government of India ; recognising the
political and military importance of the question^ instructed the Govern
ment of Bombay to abstain from granting licenses for the export of heavy
consignments of arms and ammunition to

watch carefully the import of such articles at Karachi and on the coast
to the westward. On the 1st October in the same year a notification
was published by the Government of India to legalise the detention at
Indian ports of cargoes of arms and ammunitions of war consigned to the

from other countries.
Meanwhile the Persian Government had been persuaded to prohibit
the exportation of percussion caps from Persia^ and instructions in this
sense had been issued by them to the local authorities at Bandar ^Abbas,
Bampur, Kirman and Yazd^ as well as to those in Khurasan. The
Persian Government appear soon after this to have developed an interest
in the purely Persian aspect of the question; and in 1881; at the personal
instance of the Shah; the importation of arms and ammunition into the
country was made illegal. The prohibitory edict came into force at
Btishehr on or about the 1st of July 1881 ; and the principal firms doing
business there under British protection were duly warned by the
Political Besident of the change in the law.
