Murder of Bahreinese near Katif. Your Bespatch 24, June 6th. Please
see Colonel Kemball’s letter 4-S.-A. of 6th June, forwarded with Mr. Barnes’
letter 28-M. of 10th July. Have you any objection to Sheikh of Bahrein being
authorised to negotiate with Bahaih tribe, through Sheikh Ahmed bin Thani
of Katr ? This seems to be the only means of gaining redress, short of allow
ing Sheikh to seek his revenge by force. Further report from Colonel
Kemball, dated 6th September, shows that the account of the occurrence given
by Turkish Minister of the Interior is altogether inaccurate. A copy of this
report will be sent by next mail.

Telegram, 7th October 1902. (Bespd. from Home Bept.)
Our Bespatch of 28th August. O’Conor wires :—
Begins. It is much to be feared that opening of Karachi and Bombay for
shipment of pilgrims will provoke objections from Board of Health and lead to
increased severity against Indian pilgrims at Camaran. I have reported to
Foreign Office in this sense. Ends.
Our view is that political advantages arising from opening Bombay and
Karachi for pilgrims, and thus showing our willingness to dispense with all but
the most necessary restrictions in India, outweigh any disadvantages arising
from a possible increase in severity of quarantine regulations at Camaran, for
which Turkish Government will be held responsible, and which will reflect no
odium upon us.
