the Cloverment of India in my letter No. dated 4th July
1909> of ^hioh I append an extract. In spite of the action
taken against hiss, Mohaaed Abdulla has not ceased to intrigue
by using the apuriouo seal and endeavouring to fly a Turkish
flag. He has been able specifically to give us trouble by
attecpting to treat Arab visitors from iniscat, Trucial Coast,
Bahrein and iCoweit as Turkish subjects end thrust upon the®
Turkish passport« or visas, and it has only been by the
vigilance of our Agent at Lingah and continual pressure on
the local Persian Authorities by the Hesidency that ilohaaed
Abdulla has boen prevented from achieving rauoh practical
us
success. Maturally the family bear/ill will and their testi
mony in a matter like this is objectionable.
