POLITICAL EESIDENCY FOR 1906-1907.
69
On about tlie 22nd July 1906 in consequence of a newspaper report that tlie
German Government was contemplating the requirement of Halul island, east of
Katar, as a coaling station, Major Cox inspected the spot in the course of his
journey back from India.
In August Shaikh Abdallah was visited by the fugitive Chief of the A1 Morra
tribe, who had suffered heavy punishment at the hands of the Ajman.
In September the Ajman tribe patched up their blood-feud with the people of
Doha, surrendering 100 camels and binding themselves to other engagements for
the maintenance of the peace.
In October the Bani Hajir Shaikh Salim bin Shafi came to a friendly settlement
with Shaikh Jasim bin Thani to permit of his peacefully camping in the interior of
Katar.
In November an unsuccessful attempt was made on the life of Shaikh Abdallah
bin Jasim by a negro slave. The latter was shot down after he had killed two
persons, a man and a woman.
HASA, KATIF AND THE ADJACENT TRIBAL TERRITORIES.
The history of this tract for the year has consisted of a continuous series of
disturbances, some of which very likely have been inspired by the agents of the
Riadh Amir, Bin Sa'ud.
In April, August and September caravans were surprised and looted by
Bedouins on the roads leading to the Hasa Oasis. In August an important fight
took place between the 'Ajman and A1 Morra tribes, when the Chief of the latter
was taken prisoner and compelled to sue for his life under a heavy penalty. In
the same month a fracas occurred between the townspeople of Mubarraz and an
encampment of 'Ajman which was attended with the loss of several lives. In Nov
ember a more serious fight occurred between the townspeople of Hofuf aided by
the Turkish troops against the combined tribesmen. The garrison suffered about
20 casualties and temporarily lost a gun.
On the 27th December 1906, a couple of small chartered steamers, the
John 0. Scott and the Muhammadi, commenced pouring troops into Katif for the
relief of the Hasa, Katif and Ojair garrisons. The presence of these additional
forces was taken advantage of to overawe and temporarily pacify the Oasis and
their environs. The somewhat disorganized former garrisons are now returning to
Basra in driblets by the mail-steamers : so that the Turks do not appear to intend
maintaining an increase of troops permanently in the district. The headman of
Mubarraz, Sa'dun

in February 1907.
The Kaim-makam of Katif at the commencement of the year was Ahmad
Effendi. This officer was replaced by Nasim Effendi in August, and the latter was
succeeded by Ibrahim Effendi in December.
The rule of Nasim Effendi was apparently unpalatable to Haji Mansur

the Manager of the Dayira Saniya, for the latter was able to procure the appoint
ment of a Commission, composed of I'habit Effendi Bimbashi and Mahdi Effendi,
both from Basra, and Owin Effendi from Hofuf, to enquire into the conduct of the
Katif Treasury Officer, Darwish Effendi. The Qaimmakam and the Treasury
Officer withdrew to Darin on Tarut Island during the sittings of the Commission,
and were both afterwards superseded.
The Customs farm of Hasa, Katif and Ojair was re-sold for the year commenc
ing about the 1st March 1906 to the Bin Faris-bin Akhwan Syndicate for
Rs. 16,000 Liras, giving an enhancement of 12*51 per cent, over the previous
year's price.
JUDICIAL.
