Tho genaral foolInr here la pro-TurMnh and somewhat
f
atrongly anti-Sherif, w^io^ feeling supported by the in
fluence of the looal mullaa# But the outata^dinr and noat
noticeable feature of native opinion hero ia neither approval
nor dia-apnroval but a aomewhat aurpriainp: indifference. My
own view, which ia confirmed by information received from
truatworthy aourcea, io that the local population is far more
intereated in the local Pearl Market then in reli^io-politioal
matters which take place in foreign parta, and that aa long
aa the pearl market remains pood - aa at preaent - the
Bahrainia will not have much intereat to expend on other
affairs.
II Feeling regarding Turkiah Atrocitiea at Kerbala .
The account of tho TutMah atrocities in erbala for
warded here by the Chief Political Officer, copies of whioh
were distributed amongst the Persian and Shia community -fears,
haa made a great impreaaion. Sheikh Khalaf bin Sheikh Ahmed
the head Shia Qazi of Bahrain^who came to aee me the other
day, without any prompting whataoever himaelf broached the
aubject, and held forth vigoroualy in the atrongeat terms of
opprobium on the "inchuman", w savage n , and w irreligious"
action of the Turks on the occaaion in queation. I am in
formed that he expreaaea the aame viewa to hia followera in
hia Moaque, and other placea of assembly. The Sunni com
munity, whoae feelings aa Sunnia are of courae hoatile to
Shiaa, are - aa wan to be expected - more or leaa indifferent
