of His Highnesses subjects in Masqat (territory and territorial waters
would be regarded as incompatible with the Sultanas independence, and
that the British Government would support him in resisting- any such
claim. In consequence, however, of a communication received from
the French Ambassador in August 1901, a decision on this point was
deferred. The memorandum now presented by M. Cambon stated
that the promise of the Suri boat-owners to give up their French flao-s
had been obtained by force, with the help of the British authorities, - a
view which MM. Ottavi and Goguyer had sedulously inculcated • that
strict investigations had been held by the French for the purpose of
revising the list of French flag-holders; and that the accusations
of slave-trading against vessels flying the French flag were unfounded,
The paper also contained various minor allegations of undue British
interference in the affairs of 'Oman.
W hile materials for a complete reply to this memorandum were being
collected at Masqat, a peremptory claim on behalf of the French Govern
ment to entire jurisdiction over French flag-holders was suddenly
advanced in writing by M. Laronce, who had succeeded M. Ottavi as
Vice-Consul of France at Masqat. This occurred on the 23rd of January
1902 during a visit of the French flagship. Captain Cox, at his own
suggestion, was authorised to protest on the strength of the Declaration
of 1S62 against the assumption by France of jurisdiction over 'Omani
subjects; and his protest, made on the 11th of February, was success-
ful beyond expectation. At the beginning of March M. Laronce
informed him that France had no intention of bringing 'Omani
subjects under French jurisdiction, and that she claimed nothing more than
rights of surveillance and police over vessels bearing the French flag.
The Sultan also was assured on the 4th of March, by the French
Vice-Consul and the Commander of the R. F. "Catinat," that the
rench flag-holders of Sur, for which port the " Catinat" was bound
would be informed of the Sultan's sovereignty on land.
