foiled in their design of seizing Shalbah, they proceeded at the end of 1885 fort at Fao,
to construct a fort on the Turkish bank of the river at Fao, below Shalhah, 1^,85 ' 88 '
commanding the entrance from the sea. Their action in this respect was
contrary, if not to the letter, at least to the spirit, of the Second Treaty of
Eizeioum as amplified by the explanation of the Ambassadors of the mediat-
ing powers, which seemed to imply that the opposing banks of the Shatt-al-
'Arab would not be fortified by either Persia or Turkey; and the British
Government also regarded the erection of the fort with disapproval for
general reasons. In 1887 diplomatic remonstrances on the subject were
addressed to the Porte through His Britannic Majesty's Ambassador at
Constantinople; they were founded partly on the British construction of
the Treaty and partly on considerations affecting British interests. In 1888
the Turkish Government returned an unsatisfactory reply, and, had it not
been for the annoyance then recently caused to Russia by the opening of
the Karan to navigation, a British naval demonstration would probably
have taken place in the neighbourhood of Fao.

; it was due chiefly to misconduct on the part of the principal
Shaikh of Qatar, but it was intensified by Turkish and Persian intrigues.
In 1886 the Shaikh connived at excesses by Bedouins at his port of
Dohah, his object being to bring about by indirect means the removal of
the British Indian traders settled there; but a denial of complicity and an
apology by him were accepted as sufficient amends by s the British political
authorities. In 1887 there was renewed disorder at Dohah for which the
Shaikh was responsible; this time the British subjects at Dohah were
temporarily removed to a place of greater safety, and valuables belonging
to the Shaikh were sequestrated in Bahrain with the r esult that he paid
compensation to the sufferers. These proceedings elicited a protest from
the Ottoman Government, which His Britannic Majesty's Government
refused to entertain on the ground that they did not recognise the
existence of any Turkish rights in Qatar.
In 1887-88 Turkey and Persia both manifested an undue interest in the
affairs of Bahrain and Trucial 'Oman, the Shah having revived his claim to
