?• Conclusion ,
I have been fully informecl of "the course of events by
the Sultan and have at his request discussed the situation with
the Military Adviser* The Sultan is leaving for India today but
will return should his presence be rendered necessary by develop
ments. In the meantime the conduct of affairs is in the hands of
Mudhaffar bin Suleiman at Sohari who has the Sultan's confidence,
and Saiyid Shahab bin Faisal, the Regent, who has not however
been informed by His Highness of his intentions.
It is known that the Imam is consulting Sheikh Isa bin
Saleh al Harthi and Sheikh Suleiman bin Hamiyar of Jebel Akhdar
and his further action will depend on the result of this conference#
Sheikh Isa bin Saleh will not be favourably disposed to warlike
operations and his considerable influence will be on the side of
peace*
Should the Imam obtain the support necessary for his
operation it will be sometime before there are any major develop
ments in the situation* It will take time to collect tribesmen
and in the event of Ali bin Said not surrendering control of
Ainane to the Sultan it will be at least a month to six weeks
before the TmaTn is in a position to undertake an operation against
■i-
Ali bin Said who will certainly resist to the best of his ability,
■f*.
The Hawasinah Sheikh will not reach Ainane until about the 17th of
this month and I have no doubt much time will be wasted in confer
ence.
, I will keep you fully informed of the position.
I have the honour to be.
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
4: Major,
P 0 Htical Agent & H.B.M's Consul, Muscat.
