from the Shaikh of Kuwait, seem to have been ineffectual. In the spring
of 1893 the Wali moved to Qatar, the principal Shaikh of which district it
had evidently been resolved to coerce into greater submissiveness towards
the Turkish Government; but ai^attempt to capture that chief by surprise
ended'in a lurkish military disaster, the force employed being driven back
with loss upon the town of Dohah, while the Wali sought safety on board
a Pinkish man-of-war in the harbour. British mediation between the Turks
and the Shaikh was proffered and was readily accepted by the latter ; but
the iurkish authorities declined to avail themselves of it. In the end the
all returned to his headquarters at Basrah leaving the affairs of Hasa
and Qatar in no better state than he found them ; and ultimately, in
Qatar, a settlement by no means favourable to Turkish prestige was
patched up through an influential Ottoman subject from Basrah.

The years 1891-93, in spite of the embarrassments which weighed upon
lurkey in Hasa, were marked by a renewal of Turkish aggressiveness
towards Persia over the question of Muhammareh and the Shatt-al-'Arab,
in other words the question of their common boundary at its southern
end. In 1891 there were signs that the pretensions of Turkey to Muhani"
mareh were about to be revived, but it was only in 1893 that Turkish
officers at Fao suddenly began to collect customs duty on the cargo of
vessels from abroad bound up the river to Muhammareh. The Turkish
authorities at Basrah, so far from disavowing the action of their subordi
nates at Fao, declared that they had received orders to treat Muhammareh
as a Turkish port. At the request of the Shah, and apparently after
consultation with Russia, Kis Britannic Majesty's Government caused
a strong protest to be made at Constantinople, and the result was in
stant cessation of interference by the Turks with freedom of navigation.
In the matter of the fort which they had begun at Fao some years
before, the Porte showed themselves less pliable, while the Persian
Government displayed inexplicable nonchalance. In 1889, after the
failure of a British protest in the previous year, the Persian Ambassador
addressed the Turkish Government on the subject ; but his remonstrances
were unheeded. In 1890, when three British vessels of war were assembled
at Fao, a British naval party, including officers, was fired upon from the
fort when landing ; but the British Officer Commanding was subse-
