866. — Katif. —The servants of the A1 Amayir of Anik/Katif, recently took
their master’s camels to graze near the date gardens of Saihat. The camels
strayed into the gardens and their heads were unable to drive them out again.
On seeing the camels in their gardens, the date gardeners (Bahrainis) assaulted
the shepherds, who Vent and reported reported the matter to their masters,
with the result that all the Amayir, with some of the Ajman and Ghatani
marched on Saihat fully armed and attacked the Saihatis. The latter resisted and
a free fight occurred between them lasting for about three hours, the Amayir
side losing 35 killed and wounded and the Saihatis 5. It is said the Saihatis
were in a better tactical position and were also assisted by the people of Safwa.
867. It is said that a few days ago, a fresh skirmish took place between the
Bedouin and the people of Safwa (in Katif), with the result that the f ormer lost 1
man, and the latter about 5. The incident has caused uneasiness among the
people who blame the Local Government for being powerless to put down the
Bedouin raids. They suggest that strong garrisons be posted in all the outlying
villages.
Shaikh Husain bin Nasir, the headman of Saihat, who recently paid a friendly
visit to the

, ventured to expostulate with the Katif authorities on
the weakness of the Government’s control and is said to have told them that if
the Turks would not protect their interests, they would be obliged to seek protec
tion from other Foreign Powers.
The matter having been reported to Hasa, the Mutasarrif sent Yuz Bashi
Husain Effendi and Ahmed Effendi, Daftardar (Superintendent), to Katif with
powers to effect compromise between the parties and to submit a full report on the
causes of the trouble and to suggest measures to be adopted to put a stop to the
frequent Bedouin raids. These officials have passed through Bahrain on their
way to Katif.
868. An Armenian Agent of a French firm in Maskat arrived here by S. S.
“ Barjora.” He left for Katar, and after staying for three days in Doha, returned
here. He is returning to Maskat by the above-named steamer. His business was
to dispose of some consignments of arms that arrived from Maskat at Doha.
869. The news that a large consignment of arms for Muhammad bin Ghanam
of Hasa has been seized at Shargah on its way from Maskat to Hasa, had discouraged
several arms dealers of Hasa, and some of them, who had actually started for
Maskat, gave up their intention and returned.
