this time, however^ it was generally understood that the objects of the
expedition were paci6e and not punitive,—a circumstance which may
be held to indicate that Ibn-Sa'ad^s promises of good behaviour, although
he had not yet appeared in person to confirm them, were regarded by
the Porte as satisfactory and sufficiently reliable. Nor was the necessary
confirmation long wanting. Hardly had the Turkish field force started
from Najaf, when the Amir 'Abdur Rahman in person, accompanied
by Shaikh Mubarak of Kuwait, arrived from the Kuwait side at the
little village of Safwan on the Turkish frontier and was there met

Wilayat. The first meeting, held at Safwan on the 8th of February,
was followed by official telegraphic discussions between Basrah and
Constantinople. At the second meeting, which took place on the 18th of
February at the wells of Qash'aniyah, Ibn-Sa'ud appears to have been
informed that the Sultan had appointed him Qaim-Maqam or governor of
Southern Najd under the Porte, and that Ibn-Rashid would not be allowed
to interfere with the affairs of his districts; while Ibn-Sa'ud, on his part,
seems to have agreed to the location of Turkish civil officials and military
o-arrisons in Qasim.

corrupt old rascal," more than 70 years of age, but by no means deficient
in physical energy. The agreement concluded with Ibr-Sa'ud shortly
after its departure rendered the task of the expeditionary force
an easy one. A junction was effected with a column of 750 men and
a battery of field artillery sent from Madinah, but neither the
rendezvous nor the subsequent route of the combined force can be
identified with certainty from such reports as are available. No
opposition was experienced; for the people of Najd were weary of war,
and for the moment they welcomed the prospect of peace even under a
Turkish cegis. Buraidah m Qasim was occupied on the 15th of April
1905 and 'Anaizah three days later; a military post of 100 men or less
was apparently established at either place; the Ottoman flag was hoisted.
