fl atin^ for over three years, anl wh# had previously
declined to answer any oomnunication from the to
make peace, the Bheikh» in question cane into Muscat and
signed a bond of perpetual x^^ce In the presence of the Qazi
on the Koran# The Sheikhs of the Yal Saad at much the same
time wrote to Naelr bin Rashidythe brother of the Imam and
hi© 'Vali In Rostak ,tiiat they would in the future not permit
attacks on the territory of the Sultan by the Onanis and
would unite in resisting them should the oaaasion arise.
At the be^innin^ of March news was received
of the death of Sheikh Haayar bin Nasir al Kabhani of the
Beni Rijtam and paramount ^pf the (riiaflri section of the
Oraanis, This man with Sheikh Isa bin Salih the Hinawi chief
made the Otaani rebellion, and he was unquetionably the most
powerful nan in Oman* Later information is that his son
Suleiman, a boy of about sixteen years of a 0 e has been
elected paramount chief in his place. It seems from the
general opinion that Suleiman for the moment at least will
not conmand the unconditional support of all sections of the
Beni Hiyaau What his attitule towards the Imam will be
remains to be seen and has already forme the subject of
rumour and conjecture. It is a fact that Suleiman obviously
actingrnrnder th« advice of the elders of the tribe excused
himself from amkin^ the "bay*at" or religious bond with the
Imam, on the ground tliat as he was a boy he was unable to
perform the duties adequately. He only led are d himself
"zimmi" or in alliance with the Iriam, It is supposed that he
is frightened of having to ^ve up some of iii© lar-e inher-
-itance to the beit-al-nal of the Imam should he &tke the
religious oath of obedience, or that he may have to commit
his tribe to some action engineered by Nasir bin Rashid the
brother of the Imam,who is becoming incroasinisly unpopular.
It is fairly certain that there is something behind this
flimsy excuse,
A somewhat unfortunate and unexpected situation
had meabwhile arisen at Hazm, a town about fifteen miles
