Affairs in the Sultanate of 'Oman and relations with Britain,
1894-99.
The period was marked in the Sultanate of 'Oman by the beginning
of a crisis in the relations between the Sultan and the British Govern
ment, due partly to internal events,, partly to the non-renewal in favour
of the new ruler of the policy of armed support which Britain had main
tained from 1886 to 1888, and partly to French intrigues.
In February 1895 the Sultan's capital of Masqat was treacherously
seized and occupied by armed rebels, who remained in possession of it for
three weeks, while the British representative observed an attitude of virtual
neutrality; but they were in the end ejected by a process of fighting, of
negotiation^ and finally of concession. This unfortunate occurrence great
ly embittered the Sultan against the British Government, whom he consi
dered as having deserted him in the hour of need, and whose claims for
compensation to British subjects on account of injuries suffered in the
rebellion he regarded as vexatious ; and it greatly undermined his authority
throughout his dominions. The continuance to him of the f< Zanzibar "
subsidy, which had not been withdrawn as it might have been on his
failing to govern in a manner approved by the British Government, a
small gift of artillery, and offers of British naval assistance for the reco
very of the revolted district of Dhufar in Southern Arabia seemed to have
no effect in mollifying his resentment. Indeed the situation after the
rebellion of 1895 was so unsatisfactory that proposals for the annexation
of Masqat and Matrah, or the declaration of a British protectorate over
the whole Sultanate, or an intimation to the leading Shaikhs of the country
that they would not be allowed upon any pretext to attack Masqat or
Matrah were discussed; and the third course, that of giving a modified
assurance of support, which did not involve any principle inconsistent
with the Anglo-French Declaration of 1862, was adopted by Her
Majesty's Government. In 1896 the question of arranging for a modi-
