Translated purport of a letter from tho llcsidoncv Arent, Bahrain, to tho Politicnl Resident,
Persian Gulf, No. 04>, dated tho 2l)lh August 1888.
After compliments.—With rofcrcnco to my letter No. 93 about tho going of
Shaikh Ahmed bin Ali to visit Shaikh Jasim at Katar, I beg to say that I met
.Muhammad bin Abdul Wnbab, after his return with Shaikh Ahrnod to Bahrain.
Muhammad bin Abdul Wabab told me that Shaikh Ahmed went to Zobnrah,
whoro ho was met by Jnsim and Muhammad bin Abdul Wabab. Jasim was
accompanied by Nnscr*bin-Jabar, with some followers. They remaiued at
Zobarah for throe days, and they reproached each other for what had passed
and thon through his (Muhammad Abdul Wall all’s) medium they mndo peace,
and ontcrcd into friendly nllianco; that Jnsim gavo up nil his'claim about his
money; and ho wroto to tho Chief of Bahrain to that effect; and that lie would
not'roucw tho claim in futuro. Jasim sent his sou Abdulla with Shaikh Ahmed
to Bahrain, and ho himself proceeded by sea to tho neighbourhood of Eoweirat.
Muhammad further states that thoy hnd a discussion about tho building oL!
Zobarah, &c., and that Jasim promised him to givo up the idea of building the
place, and that lie wroto to the Turkish officials or tho Mutnsorif, saying there
was no necessity to build at Zobarah, and that it was useless to do so.
Muhammad states that Jasim wroto to tho Wali of Basrah, saying that
tho Turkish soldiors at Katr wero not wanted Micro, and that tho people of
ICatr wero not on good terms with them, and that lie heard mischief, aud.that
Katr did not require such a largo number of troops; that tho Wali in roply
informed him that ho would removo them; that thoy intend keepiug a fow
gondnrmos nt El Bida1 a as beforo; it is also statod that tho Commandant of tho
El Bida’a troops has written oithor to tho Wali or tho Mutascrif, saying that
tho placo )vns not fit for tho residence of tho troops, and Micro was no sourco
of proOt in It. ’
Muhumraad-biu-Abdul Waliab further slates that ho confcrcd with Jasim
nbout his movements towards Oman, and that ho showed him a letter from Bin
Roshecd, in which ho promises him to como down, when tho weather cools, to
Oman; hut ho thinks it is not certain that this will occur; that it is difficult
for Bin Itashccd to do this personally. Ho may sond sorao ono ou his behalf,
because invasion of Oman was a difficult matter ; that Bin Itashccd had suffi­
cient work to omploy him, in looking after tho safoty of his own country aud
