while the troops at the same time captured some cattle, a huge number
of sheep, and other booty. According to information from non-Turkish
sources, however, the people thus severely punished were not the enemy
at all, but quiet pastoral tribes who had brought peace offerings to the
Turkish commander and had been assured by him that they would not
be molested. The smallness of the Turkish losses, which were quite
insignificant, as also the presence of the Arabs' women and children,
gave a colour of truth to this version of the affair and made it necessary
to discount the importance of the " victory " claimed by the Turks. In
any case, however, Hafiz

reached Samawah with his force at the
beginning of August, and was joined there by Shaikh Fahad. Mean
while ; Osman Bey gave himself up to the Turkish authorities at
Diwaniyah, in consequence of a price having been set upon his head;
Shaikh Mansur was reported to be retiring to Najd by way of Kuwait;
and attempts on the part of the Bani Malik to give trouble near Basrah
were frustrated by the arrival of the troops under Muhammad

first began to meddle with the tribe. No garrison seems to have been
left at Samawah, and almost the only real change was the substitution
of Shaikh Fahad for Shaikh Mansur. Moreover, the attitude of Shaikh
Fahad himself was equivocal. Up to the 7th of September he had paid
only £5,000 into the treasury on account of the revenue of the financial
year of which the closing date was the Hth; he declined to come to
Baghdad to be formally invested with the Shaikhship; he refused even
to accept office unless under a guarantee that the Turks would forego
for three years all encroachment on the established privileges and juris
diction of the Muntafik Shaikh; though now all-powerful in the
Muntafik country, he professed to be unable to protect boats on the
Euphrates and obviously did not exert his authority to restore order;
he showed great reluctance to meet Hafiz

at Samawah; and he
absolutely declined to take part with the Turks in an expedition against
the Khaza/il which was now impending.
In March 1865 Shaikh Mansur was still at large in the desert to the
south of Suq-ash-Shuyukh; but Shaikh Fahad was at last persuaded to
visit Baghdad, where he undertook to pay off the balance due to the
Treasury by his predecessor Shaikh Bandar and was then confirmed in
the Shaikhship of the tribe for three years with effect from September
1863.
