"الملف E5. مقتل الشيخ سلمان بن دعيج و ٢٥ آخرين في ٣ ديسمبر ١٩٠٠ عند الدراية على يد البهية" [ظ‎‎٩‎٨] (٢٥٢/١٩٦)

from the India Office enclosing correspondence from the Govern
ment of India on the subject of the murder of Bahreinese by
members of the Behaih tribe.
r ihe information obtained by the Officiating Pe si dent in the
T*
Persian riul^is to the effect that the persons who were reported
by the Turkish Government in February last to have been killed
in an encounter with Turkish troops were not those actually
concerned in the outrage.but that on the contrary the offend
ers are still at large in Turkish territory.
T n view ot the continued failure of the Turkish Government
to exact any reparation for the murders there seems no reason
for further delaying the representation which Your Excellency
was instructed to make in my despatch No.1^2 of April 12th ,
and which was to the effect that ii.M.Government can no longer
restrain the Sheikh of Bahrein from resorting to such steps
as he may thin 1 ' necessary for the purpose^though they will
use their best endeavours to ensure that he shall take no
action against the Behaih so long as that tribe remain in
territory recognised as Turkish.
I have accordingly to request that you will make the re
presentation already proposed.
