CHAPTER X.
ADMINISTRATION EEPORT FOE KOWEIT FOE THE NIKE
MONTHS ENDING 31 ST DECEMBEE 1908.
The nine months under review have shown a further decline in the power
of the Hail faction and a corresponding consolidation of the power of Abdul
Aziz-bin-Sa'ud.
The weakening of the Bani Eashid has been due as much to internal
family dissensions as to any attacks made on them by the southerners of
Neid. . .
Early in April, a report reached Koweit that Faisal-bin-Eashid had
killed the governor of Jauf, a nominee of the Amir, Sultan-bin-Eashid, and
had set up an administration of his own there.
In the same month came news that the Sibhan clan of the Shammar
tribe with 70 Hail townsmen had escorted Sa'ud-bin-Abdul Aziz-bin-Eashid
to Medina. The party were well received by the Turkish authorities who
are said to have assisted them in collecting zikat from the Harb tribe.
About the same time were reported the deaths of Hamud-bin-Obaid-ar-
Eashid and the wife of Abdul Aziz -bin-Eashid, the late Amir. The latter s
sister appears to have married Hamud-bin-Sibhan
The next news came in May from El Kasim where Abdul Aziz-bin-
Sa'ud finally turned out the Amir of Boraida, Muhammad-al-Mahanna, Abal
Khail, who was permitted to go into exile at Zubair. The same month
brought news of a reconciliation effected between Abdul Aziz-bin-Saud and
Sultan-bin-Eashid.
In June, news came from Boraida that Sa'ud-bin-Eashid had either
killed or imprisoned Sultan-bin-Eashid and his son who had attempted a
flight with the family treasure. In September, the _ Sibhan clan of the
Shammar tribe, under the leadership of Hamud-bin-Sibhan, attacked and
took possession of Hail and installed Sa'ud-bin-Abdul Aziz as Amir Saud-
bin-Hamud was killed by them. A pedigree of the house of Obaid-bm-
Eashid is attached to this report.
The latest news from the interior shows that Abdul Aziz -bm-Sa'ud is
in El-Kasim and making extravagant demands on the Sibhan clan which
must end either in fresh disturbances or in the unconditional submission o
the Shammar faction for the time being.
Sheikh Mubarak has just informed the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
that news has
come in from Boraida that Bin-Sa'ud, contemplating a raid on Hail, readied
a village within two days of that town and found the Sibhan and ohammar m
full strength to oppose "him and had to return to Boraida.
There are few events of any consequence to report during the nine months.
There were serious disturbances in Al-Katif between Bedouins and
townsmen, but events in Al-Hasa hardly fall within the purview ot this
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
. The Ajman Chief, Muhammad-bin-Hithlain, seems to have in
creased in power and concurrently the power of Bin-Sa ud s Agen ,
Aziz-bin-Mashuq, has been steadily on the increase in Al-Hasa.
Two Aiman Chiefs, Fahaid-al-Mutalagam, Sheikh of the Al-Hadi section
and Abdulah-bin-Mansur-bin-Manaikhir, Sheikh of the Al-Safran sec i
the Aiman, raided Faisal-bin-Majid-ud-Dawish during the mon 0 .
in the direction of the wells of Ilhaba, one of the wells called A -
the tract of As-Suman. ri ^
Sheikh Mubarak directed the return of the camels to Faisal
the two Sheikhs, noted above, imprisoned as hostages until the ,
was complete. These men were imprisoned in the mlddie J ^ V
Fahaid-al-Mutalagam was released on the 24th Octobe# and Abduiian-u
Manaikhir about the 10th December.
