3. It must, I think, be pla^n to you that, to avoid any
misunderstanding between us, it is very necessary that the Bri
tish Consul should be furnished by you with such an explanatory
list / but" I have not hitherto been favoured with one by your
predecessors and H$s Highness^likewise not having received one /
is unable to furnish mfe with a copy;
Meanwhile I am sure you will agree that a state of things which
makes it' possible for any subject pf the Sultan during the pro
gress of internal inter-tribal disturbances in Oman, in which
he or hts tribe are concerned, to hoist a foreign flag and
claim protection under it against his Omani fellow-subjects
( and therefore againstvthe Ruler of the country) constitutes
a position which is a direct encroachment upon the integrity
of the Muscat Sultanate, which my Government Is bound to see
preserved; and is, at the same time, incompatible with the
terms of the Declaration of ^868, above- referred to.
I have accordingly the honor to inquire whether you cannot
see your way at the present juncture to favour me with a com
plete list of His Highness the Sultan's subjects over whom,as
in the case of Mubarak bin Hamed, you claim to extend you pro
tection within the territory and territorial waters of the Sul
tan's dominions; in order that I may be able, after ascertain
ing the Sultan's views in each case, to submit the matter to
my Government,
