Resident instead directed that specie and pearls to the value of
Rs. 20,000, belonging to Shaikh Jasim in Bahrain whither the Resident
had himself proceeded, should be impounded ; and this was immediately
done. Meanwhile all the British subjects at Dohah had been removed
by the Assistant Resident, who was sent there for the puipost
and to remind Shaikh Jasim of his responsibilities; H.M.S.
" Osprey " had arrived in Bahrain ; and the Turkish military comman
dant in Hasa had gone with a guard to Dohah, and was engaged in
consultation there with Jasim and the other Shaikhs. The result of
Colonel Ross's pacific expedient was eminently satisfactory, for Shaikh
Jasim presently sent an Agent to Bahrain to negotiate; and the case
was settled by payment of Rs. 6,390 as compensation to the injured
British Indian and Bahrain subjects out of the property attached.
Shaikh Jasim, while through force of circumstances he was obliged to b^y the
submit to the British demands, neglected no means of upsetting what had
been arranged and appealed to the Walis of Basrah and Baghdad, repre
senting that he had been despoiled of a all ^ his property in Bahrain on
account of his connection with the Turkish Government. The immediate
result of his complaints was a threatening letter, probably unauthorised
by higher authority, in which the Mutasarrif of Hasa demanded from the
Shaikh of Bahrain the restoration of Jasim's property; and later the in
evitable protest was addressed by the Porte to the British Ambassador at
Constantinople. With reference to the protestthe British Ambassador was
referred by Her Majesty's Government to the views which they had ex
pressed in 1883, and to which, he was informed, they still adhered.
In connection with the losses sustained by Persian subjects at Dohah,
the Shah enquired whether the British authorities could assist his Gov- authorities
ernment in obtaining the reparation to which the former were entitled, ^
estimated at 30,000 Tumans ; and a hope appears to have been held ^ out "ot ut.Hsed,
of compliance with the request as soon as the claims of British subjects
should have been adjusted. Early in 1888, however, the Persian Gov
ernment seem to have had recourse instead to the good offices of the
Porte, but whether they obtained any satisfaction by this means is
uncertain. As mentioned in the history of Bahrain, it appears that
a Persian Minister about the same time actually gave countenance to the
idea of a raid to be made by Shaikh Jasim upon Bahrain in the
interests of Persia.
In October 1888 Colonel Ross visited Dohah and had an interview t ®
with Shaikh Jasim, who came to meethim with a following of about D5bab, 1888
