Masqat, where he arrived in the first week of FeWry, Lord Cmzcm
had meanwhile directed, npon his own responsibility, that a demand for
the cancellation of the concession to the French should he added to the
memorandum before presentation—a step which the Sultan's avowal
of a grant to the French, the incompatibility of such a grant with the
British Agreement of 1891, and the undesirability of ignoring the
principal ground of offence combined to render necessary. On the rth
of February Colonel Mead, reported the inclusion of the additional
demand m the memorandum, which already .e^mred that 'Abdnl 'Aziz
Ruwahi, should be permanently dismissed from the Sultan's employment J
that interest at the rate of 5 per cent, should be paid on the balance still
due, of the indemnity of 1895; that nowhere should a tax be levied on
British, which was not equally levied on 'Omani subjects ; and, flnall y
that all import duties, and also the tax on dates brought from the interior
or exportation, should be reduced to 5 per cent, in accordance with
treaty.
On the afternoon of the 9th February an Arabic translation of the
memorandum, after being read to him, was handed to the Sultan
by way of ultimatum. The Sultan was willing to give way at once in
regard to the dismissal of 'Abdul 'Aziz, the payment of interest on the
m enmity, and equality of taxation as between British and 'Omani
subjects; but he wished time for discussion of the other points
