Extract from a demi-official letter from the Assistant Political Affent, Bahrein, to the Political
Besident, Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. , dated the 1st June 1903.
The Treasurer of the Ojair Customs, who passed through ^ yesterday on a
visit to Katif, called on me yesterday. In the conversation with him I
fathered that Arabi Effendi, who was appointed of Zobara, appears to have
been a troublesome person and fell out with the Mutassanf of A1 Hassa, and
left for Basrah by the Jdna from Katiff about the 10th May. I have no
means of confirming this news, and I wonder whether it is true, and the reason
for his departure is the right one. Such people do not draw pay until t ey
take over their appointments, and it is quite possible that he was getting tired
of waiting at Al Hassa and drawing no pay m the meantime made him des
perate. Abdul Karim Effendi, the Mudir of Odeid, is still at Al Hassa.

With reference to your telegram dated the 31st ultimo, and
tinn of mv telegram dated the 2nd instant, on the subiect of the lurkish
Mudir Yusu Bel who recently arrived at Wakra, I have the honour to say
that I am very doubtful if the man's removal could be effected under pressure
of a British ship of war without raising local difiiculties.
Yusuf Be-, it must be remembered, has gone to Wakra under orders of
when the British ship had left. It is impossible to say that l°° al
would not he raised if force had to be employed to remove Yusuf Be D
