India Office,
Sir, 8tli S j ptemher 1901.
In continuation of Sir A. Godleys letter of 22nd June last
relative to steps to be taken in tonsequence of the inability of the
Turkish authorities to punish t^e perpetrators of the outrage on a
relative of the Sheikh of Bahrein, I am directed by Mr. Secretary
Brodrick to enclose, for L'ml Lansdovvne's information, a copy of a letter
from the Government of India, No. 143, (Secret), dated 11th August
1904, and enclosures.
It will he seen that, for the reasons stated in the third paragraph op
their letter, the Government of India do not propose to give the Sheikh
of Bahrein authority to avengo himself pending the revis-ed arrange
ments for their representation at Bahrein which were sanctioned in the
Secretary of State's Despatch of 5th August last. No. 33 (Secret), and
which, it may be expected, will be carried into effect shortly.
Mr. Gaskins report of ] lih June, however, categorically denies the
allegation that the guilty members of the Behaih tribe have been since
been killed in an engagement with the Turks. Mr. Biodrick would,
therefore, suggest that Sir N. O 'Conor should now bo instructed again
to approach the Turkish Government on the subject, and to warn them,
in accordance with the terms of Lord Lansdowne's Despatch No. 132 of
the 12th April last, that if satisfactory reparation is not made by them
without further procrastination. His Majesty's Government will be
unable to disuade the Sheikh from taking the matter inio his own
hands.
I am, &c.,
The Under Secretary of State, Horace Walpole.
