In August the two brothers were sent to Tehran where they still are. Rafat-
ud-Dauleh, who followed them to Tehran to work for their release, met with the
same fate and was committed to a dungeon for an alleged charge of supplying
them with ammunition.
Owing to a recrudescence of disturbances 750 men from the Kerman garrison
were moved to Lar early in July. Owing to various robberies on the Bandar ^
Abbas-Kerman road mentioned elsewhere there were constant movements of
troops from Kerman during the latter half of the year at the close of which there
were in headquarters only enough men to guard the Military barracks, arsenal, etc
The number of troops in Kerman command may be estimated at about 2,000.
with detachments at Sirj an, Bandar Abbas, Jiruft and Rudbar.
The Camel Corps at Bam was disbanded at the close of the year and a number,
of men were either taken over as regular soldiers or enlisted in the Amnieh.
Conscription. —In September a Conscription Committee was formed to start
its third year’s work. Their activities were rather mild in comparison to the
former two years. The conscription is still very unpopular, particularly in the
distant districts. In July when I made a short tour to the Jabal Bariz, accom
panied by Captain Tweed, we caused a stampede while approaching a tinv hamlet.
We were mistaken for Census officials bent on the preliminary registration, the
precursor of conscription. When confidence had been restored it was curious
to note the dread winch the possibility of conscription inspires.
16. Persian Baluchistan. —Sarhang Mohamed Khan, the Military Governor
of Persian Baluchistan, accompanied H. M. the Shah to Kerman and called at
His Majesty’s Consulate before returning to headquarters. He spoke of the desir
ability of having a British representative at Khwash.
It seems that Sarhant Mohamed Khan has done good work in Persian
Baluchistan as the Baluchi raids across the Lut have practically ceased.
17. Rudbar. —=Zargham-us-Saltaneh has remained a semi-independent ruler
of Rudbar throughout the year, though he is now paying up his revenues more
regularly. On the disbandment of the Camel Corps in Bam at the close of the
year, a detachment of the Military from Bam was posted in Rudbar and Jiruft.
