4. Referring to Foreign Department telegram No. D.S.-166 of 17th March to
your address, it may perhaps be observed that Bin Sa'ud will be more likely to
accept with gratitude and readiness any arrangement which we may make on his
behalf with the Turks if they, as well as he, are asked to defer action pending the
result of the negotiations. Captain Shakespear, who was at Eiadh on the 10th
ultimo, informs me that Bin Sa'ud had then already heard of the Turkish attempts
at mobilisation, and it will naturally be more difficult to restrain him unless such
preparations on their part are suspended.
