In various other quarters besides Sur and Rustaq events took place
which were of some general importance to the government of 'Oman.
Sulaiman -bin-Suwailim, as Wali of Sohar, engaged in 1901 in
an attempt to wrest the fort of Bait-al-'Ainain in Dhahirah from
the Miyayihah; but the expedition, though helped by the
Bani Kalban, suffered heavy loss and ultimately returned under
orders from the Sultan. In 1904 'Araqi in Dhahirah was secured
for the Sultan. In 1905, with the aid of his former allies the
Kani Kalban, Sulaiman made successful reprisals on the Maqabil, who
had been giving trouble in the neighbourhood and in July had even
attacked the Sohar fort, killing the 'Aqid. Apparently on this occasion,
one of their forts in

-al-Hilti was taken by Saiyid Sir Faisal's
representative.
In 1900 a standing menace to the peace of the country was removed
by the submission of Shaikh Khalfan-bin-Thinaiyan, who, after heading
a rebellion at Nakhl in 1897, had evaded arrest by the Wali of Barkah,
then sent against him ; this individual, having become friendless and
homeless, now took sanctuary in the Sultan's palace at Masqat and
received a free pardon.
At 'Awabi a dispute about Zakat arose in 1900 between Sa'id-bm-
Ibrahim and the 'Abriyin; the former, to euforce his claimB, cut off
the irrigation of the date groves of the 'Abriyin. whereupon the tribesmen
besieged and captured the fort. The Sultan then intervened, and,
rejecting an offer of the 'Abriyin to hold the place in his name
established in it instead a detachment of his own Wahbabis. In April
1902 two of the W ahliabi garrison were murdered hy villagers; but
the Sultan, having gone in person to the spot, succeeded in capturing
one of the murderers and subBequently caused him to be execute a
Masqat.

Ma'Swal became in 1901 tine scene of serious disturbances
between the Bani Kuwahah and the Bani Riyam, and, as often as the
Sultan composed the feud, it broke out afresh. The last deputation sen
by the Sultan took with them, as Khafir, an aged and respected Qadhi
of Barkah; but the party were ambushed at the entrance o a
Ma'awal, and the Qadbi himself was killed by the first vo ey. is
melancholy incident, which must have been undesigned, apparen y
brought about a natural cessation of hostilities.
