In 1880 the 'Ajman tribe attacked the Hasa Oasis ; but were repulsed;
and dissensions among the Turkish officials in Hasa came to a climax
with the imprisonment of the civil Governor by the military Command
ant,—an unusual proceeding which was subsequently condemned by
higher authority.
Relations between Turkey and Persia, 1880-84.
Turko-Persian relations presented no salient features during the
period under review.
Affairs and political relations on the western coast of the Persian
Gulf, 1880-84.
Bahrain was still the only principality on the Arabian side of the
Gulf of which the affairs demanded serious attention on the part of the
British Government. At the end of 1880, when Turkey had for some
years been manifesting a disposition to meddle in Bahrain affairs and
had in particular taken up, though tardily, the cause of the leaders in
the Bahrain rebellion of 1869, preparations were made by a Bahrain
refugee, who had become a pensioner of the Ottoman Government, to
invade the islands. A Bedouin force collected under his leadership upon
the coast of Qatar, but was unable to obtain boats in which to cross over to
Bahrain, and before long British naval vessels arrived upon the scene
and rendered the situation secure. Advantage was taken of the crisis by
the Resident in the

to obtain from the Shaikh of Bahrain
an Exclusive Agreement by which he bound himself to hold no political
relations with any power but the British Government.
In 188"Z the Shaikh of Dohah, whom the Turks had appointed to
govern Qatar in their name, but whose position as a Turkish official was
not recognised by the British Government, Qatar being in their view
independent of Turkish authority, expelled a number of British Indian
traders from Dohah, Direct compulsioh having been applied to the bhaikb
under the orders of the British Government, he allowed the traders to
return, and paid, as demanded, a substantial indemnity in compensation
of their losses. A Turkish protest followed, in reply to which the Porte
were informed that their claims tc Qatar were not admitted, and that
the British Government would continue to hold direct communication
with the chiefs of that coast.
