Bated lat February JL&54.
Shaikh of Kuw:-i.It dined with ne last ni^t and Informed me
that, about 2?th January, Qus&ibl received a telegram from
hia brother in Bombay that ahipaienta to Bahrain had been
stopped. He telegraphed to ascertain reason but denied
receipt of telegram. He had, however, told some Achitophel
who informed Shaikh 0 Shaikh expressed opinion that, if this
news was true which he doubted, it would bring Xbn Sa’ud to
his knees at once (See Baghdad- telegram Ho. 2>WC>~S of early
November and Resident's telegram No* 954 dated 3th November).
This may b© Ballon d'essai by Shaikh of Kuwait who does not
love Najd or Xjq$*l by Najdis theaaelves to ascertain how
far Government will go.
With reference to your telegram No* 59 of 31st January.
Ibn Sa'ut's death would remove all difficulties for the tli®
being, but would lead to considerable complications,probably
of a totally different character, in the future. The
Conference woftld break up of itself, and nothing useful
could be done until Najcl had settled down again after the
intestine strife which would inevitably follow.
