France and Muscat.
INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. 4N ANGLO-FRENCH DISPUTE. (Per United P.eeg Association.) LONDON, August 9. The Hague Arbitration Tribunal has given its decision in. regard to tho differences between England and France respecting Muscat. It is to the effect, that since 1891 France has not been entitled to authorise- the subjects of the Sultan of Muscat ito. fly the French flag- unless they were proteges of Franc* before 1863. Dhows thus under the French protection e©jcy within tha territorial waters of Muscat the right of inviolability conferred under the. : treaty of 1844, but this right is not i transferable.
! (Muscat or Oman is a Mkhdmmedam ' State in South Bast Arabia. It ia ; governed by a Sultan, but is under | the protectorate of the Government ■of Indiai, and ibhere is a British political agent at the Sultan's Court. The Anglo-French treaty of 1862 guaran-: L teed the independence of Muscat, and under this treaty France from time to time; has endeavoured to assert an equal influence with that of.Britain in the country. Britain, however, on several occasions has upheld .the Sultan's authority with her warships, and ' in that way has established an effec- . tual protectorate.)
