He issued an ultimatum to Khalid bin Barghash who had seized the throne on the death of Sultan Hamad. The resulting 38-minute war, the shortest in history, ended with victory for Britain and the installation of their chosen Sultan, Hamoud bin Mohammed. Cave was rewarded with appointment as a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1897 and accompanied Zanzibari Prince Ali bin Hamud to the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. He received promotion to Consul-General in 1903 and issued orders that resulted in the quelling of a mutiny in the Sultan's army in 1907. He left the country in 1909, being posted to Algeria where he was said to have worked hard to "strengthen the friendship between the French and the British peoples". Cave was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1925 and was also a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

Al 38º minuto dall'inizio dei combattimenti, il conflitto, la più breve guerra della storia, terminò con la vittoria della Gran Bretagna e l'incoronazione di Hamoud bin Mohammed. Cave fu ricompensato con l'ordine del Bagno nel 1897. Nel 1903 ricevette la promozione a console generale, ma fu impopolare poiché emise ordini che provocarono un ammutinamento dell'esercito del sultano nel 1907. Lasciò il paese nel 1909, e venne inviato in Algeria dove si dice che abbia lavorato duramente per "rafforzare l'amicizia tra i francesi e i popoli britannici". Cave fu anche decorato con l'ordine di San Michele e San Giorgio nel 1925 e fu anche membro della Royal Geographical Society.
