Hamad much relieved - He said ref orm co—oper
ation (?) reforms but that he is opposed by intrigues ol Sunni
tribes and begs H.M.Govt. to assist him by (1) removal'-from
Bahrain of iihmed Dosari , ^.hmed bin Lahej and Abdul Wahab
Zeiyani who agitated and persistently preached disobedience.
(2; H.M.Govt, to forbid tribal heads leaving Bahrain out of
contumacy and warn /.atar and Kuwait and Bin Saud not to har
bour them. Hamad said th at (? ) s uch action would defin
itely suppress opposition to reforms. Re iuests due to
refusal of tribal heads to obey Hamad's order to attend
Medjlies and other flagrant disobedience.
News now received that Ahmed Dosari with
following and family left for atif Coast to a place offered
I
by Bin Saud . This will inevitably involve Bahrain with
Bin Saud . Their divers are all here and they will endeavour
to tee the Bahrain pearl bank , affording Bin Saud opportunity
he has lon^ schemed for. Bin Saud believed intriguing with
tribes , offering terms he will b®eak later to attract them,
and establish pearl trade. We should have precedent with
Bin Saud viz. Shammar refugees in Ira1 whose return to him we
have approved in principle. He forbids his subjects leading
his territory with families . It seems unfriendly act to
give asylum to Dosari without consulting Bahrain or H.M.Govt.
Agitators mentioned are notorious. They have collected
lakh
One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
for agitation of which there are strong indications that
iibdulla gave Bs 10,000/- - .agitation was planned in May
(to> take place after diving.
