Affairs in
Hasa, 1876-
80,
made during the preceding twenty years in breaking the power of the
Arab tribes ; and administrative councils, partly elective, had been associatr
ed everywhere with the executive officials and were not without their uses.
Nevertheless the state of affairs was still such that Mesopotamia could not
be described as enjoying the benefits of orderly government. At KarbaU
and Najaf •rebellions occurred in the summer of 1877; the rising at the
former place was not suppressed without recourse to military operations in
the environs of the town. In the winter of 1877-78 there were grain riots
at Baghdad itself, and the mob had their way. The large Shammartnhe
were divided under rival chiefs ; and only a small portion appealed incliiiod
to follow the course marked out for them by the Turkish authorities and
settle down to agriculture. In 1878-79 rival chiefs of the Bani Lam were
at war with one another, endangering the navigation of the Tigris, and
could not be reduced to order. The A1 Bu Muhammad, too, were internally
at feud, and the followers of one of their Shaikhs, who was at variance
with the Turkish Government, committed serious offences upon the same
river. The last and most serious of the A1 Bu Muhammad outrages, occur
ring in 1880 just after the close of the period, was an attack upon the
British mail steamer " Khalifah "; two natives on board were killed and
the European officer in command was dangerously wounded.
The usual Turkish panacea of reorganisation was applied. It took the
shape, this time, of the formation of a new Musal Wilayat by a reduction
of the area of the Baghdad Wilayat in J 879, followed by the combination
in 1880 of the remainder of the Baghdad Wilayat and the whole of the
Basrah VVilayat into a single charge.
Steam navigation on the Tigris continued to prosper. Most of the
vessels of the Turkish navigation flotilla were commanded at this time b)
European captains.
In the summer of 1878 a serious rising against Turkish rule took plau
in Ilasa; it was headed by members of the Wahhabi ruling famil} and
continued with partial success until the end of the year, when it was at
length suppressed by troops from Turkish 'Iraq.
At the same time, without regard to the precariousness of the Turkish
position in Hasa, the Porte formally advanced pretensions to the ownership
of ^Odaid in Trucial 'Oman.
Turko-Persian relations, 1876-80.
The period was one of virtual stagnation in Turko -Persian relations.
