except by such powers as might give notice of withdrawal six months
before the end of a quinquennium.
No separate acceptance of the Convention by India appears to have
been deemed necessary on this occasion as it was^ apparently, after the
Dresden Conference of 1893 ; and a strong protest was made by the
Government of India against the action of Her Majesty^s Government,
who in this instance committed them, without previous consultation, to a
Convention some articles of which they disapproved. The Government
of India also considered it their duty to warn Her Majesty's Government
of the probability that any sanitary authority which might be delegated

or on the Shatt-al-'Arab would be
abused for political ends, and especially for the purpose of promoting
the unwarrantable claims of Turkey to sovereignty over Bahrain and
Muhammareh ; and they also laid stress on the undesirability of the Turks
being allowed to interfere in the affairs of Arab principalities subject to
British influence.
Turkey herself did not ratify the Convention of 1894 .

the Turkish and Persian Governments, from the non-acceptance by Great

sweeping reservations made by the Turkish Government at the time of

, remained entirely inoperative. The reduced precautions
recommended by the Conference were not adopted by the Turks ; and at
Basrah, which continued to be the sole sanitary station in the Gulf, qua
rantine was regulated as before by political prepossessions rather than by
scientific principles. The power to obstruct foreign interests that could
not be excluded was too valuable in the eyes of the Ottoman Government
to be lightly surrendered.

, 1894-1907.
We may here conclude the subject of cholera with a short notice of
the movements of that disease in the Gulf since 1894.
In 1899 the Sultanate of 'Oman suffered from a severe epidemic of
cholera, the disease having been imported from Karachi by way of
Grwadar ; over 700 deaths from cholera took place in the towns of
Masqat and Matrah alone, and the mortality in the interior of the
country is believed to have been very serious, certainly exceeding 12,000.
In October the disease manifested itself in epidemic form on the Shatt-al-
'Arab in Turkish "'Iraq and spread northwards as far as the town of
'Amarah. The filthy camps of the date packers in the Basrah neighbour-
liood usually fall an easy prey to cholera ; and it has been noticed that
at Basrah the disease is generally most rife during the date season, while
these camps are in existence.
In 1902 cholera again appeared at Gwadar, where over 500 deaths
from the disease occurred between the beginning of July and the end of
