Proclamations issued by the Sultan regarding arms and ammunition—
1898 and 1912
(i)
Proclamation by the Sultan of Muscai forbidding the export of arms and
ammunition to India and Persia, dated January 13 1898
Be it known to such of our subjects as see this that, whereas the British and
Persian Governments have represented to us that they are desirous of preventing
introduction of arms and ammunition into India and Persia, and that there is reason
to think that many are exported from Muscat and taken to those two above-named
countries, we have resolved to join them and to assist them as far as it lies in our
power in suppressing this trade in arms and ammunition between Muscat and India
and Persia. We therefore warn (our subjects) that all the arms and ammunition
sent to those two countries will be confiscated and those engaged in this trade will
be punished, as the introduction of arms and ammunition into India and Persia is
prohibited by the Governments of those two countries and therefore illegal.
In future our Muscat flag will be no protection to vessels carrying the said

territorial waters, and to confiscate all arms and ammunition (weapons of war) in
them, if those arms and ammunition are intended for Indian and Persian ports,
and if they are the property of British, Persian or Muscat subjects.
We have also given permission to those vessels of war to search Muscat vessels
in Indian and Persian waters suspected to contain arms and ammunition for Indian
and Persian ports, and to confiscate the said arms and ammunition.

Maskat, and thus exposed to the risk of attack, robbery or fire, we, impressed by
the serious menace to the safety of our capital arising therefrom, have resolved to
