2 Persian Baluchistan and the^ Sarhad.—
From information received it appears
that before withdrawing to Khwash the
Persian troops attacked Bemishk. Casu-
oi+ip* were 12 Baluchis killed including
o son of Sardar Abdul Hussain. The
troops had 3 killed and 4 wounded^ The
rnaioritv Of the tribesmen deserted their
kader Abdul Hussain, who fled with a
following of some 20 men only. The
remainder are handing m their arms
q^rriar Bustom Khan of Champ, who had
foined Abdul Hussain, fled to Chahbar.
rnp^ Persians have captured 500 sheep
and goats, 30 camels and 15 cows belong
ing to Abdul Hussain.
The G. 0. C. has arrested Barkat Khan
of Bint. ’ His son is collecting the rifles of
the tribe and has been told that his father
will be released on completion of the
disarming of the tribe. It is, however,
commonly believed that he will be sent
to Tehran.
Sardar Saidi and the^ Nawab of Ab-i-
Khurran have still _ declined to surrender
and operations against them have been
deferred for the summer.
MC30FD
The G. 0. C. proposes to put 200 men at
Bemishk and 200 at Lashar.
The G. O. C. appears to have brought
to a successful conclusion operations
which at one time appeared likely to be
barren of results. The Baluchis occupied
an almost impregnable position, but by
bidding his time the G. 0. C. evidently
counted on dissensions among the various
tribes.
3 . Frontier Surrey. —The Persian party
under Mirza Abdul Bazzaq Khan, Sartip,
arrived at Zahidan on 3rd March.
Malik Mohamed Khan and Mulla > Dur
Mohamed, two Baluchis of Zahidan,
visited the Sartip, who enquired what
information they had as regards Kacha
Post. They replied that the ^ Commis
sion under Colonel Weir and Amir Nizam,
from the Persian side, decided many
years ago that the Jozzak-Bobat road was
in British territory and Kacha Post was cm
the road, but that subsequently the British
moved Kacha Post about ^ one h arsak i
inside Persian territory. It is not known
whether there is any truth in this state
ment that the post was ever moved from
the original site.
On March the 11 th the Persian party
proceeded to Mirjawa. They were de
layed there owing to inability to obtain
camel transport. Available camels had
been engaged by the Frontier Assistant
for the British party, and the Baluchis
had removed all others, since the i m ary
authorities had endeavoured to seize .hem
without payment, for the Persian Survey
party. . .
Captain Bomford, B.E., O.C., British
Survey party, arrived Mirjawa on th -
16th, and commenced the survey of the
border towards Bobat.
The Governor, Zahidan, had asked Tehran
for permission for the party to enter
Persia without passports. e t ; on to
the Police, however, took no action to
