YAKUB KHAN (1849- )

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 898 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
YAKUB KHAN (1849- ) , ex-amir of Afghanistan, son of the amir Shere Ali, was born in 1849. He showed
great
  ability at an early age, and was made
governor
  of Herat by his father, but broke into open rebellion against him in 1870, and was imprisoned in 1874 in Kabul. However, when Shere Ali in 1878 fled before the British, he handed over the government to Yakub, who, on his father's death in the following
February
 , was pro-claimed amir, and signed a treaty of peace with the British at Gandamak. He.agreed to receive a British
resident
 , and was in turn to receive a subsidy and support against foreign attack. But in September of the same year his revolted troops attacked the British residency, and the
resident
 , Sir Louis Cavagnari, and his staff and suite were cut to pieces. This outrage was instantly avenged, for in October
Earl
  (then Sir Frederick) Roberts with a large force defeated the Afghans on the 6th and took possession of Kabul on the 12th. Yakub
Khan
  thereupon abdicated, took
refuge
  in the British camp, and was sent to India on the 13th of December.
YAKU-SHIMA, an
island
  belonging to Japan, lying S. of Kin-shin, in 30 30' N. and 130 30' E. It is an irregular pentagon, 14 M. in width and the same in length. It is separated from Tanega-shima by the Vincennes Strait (Yaku-kaikyo), 12; M. wide, and its surface is broken by lofty mountains, of which Yae-dake rises to a height of 6515 ft., and Eboshi-dake to a height of 4840 ft. It is covered with dense forest, in which are some of the finest
cryptomeria
  in Japan, known as Yaku-sugi.
