Sir,
* «
’"hiIs t ir the course of conversation last night
with Geyyid All bin Gal in I collected frcn him the follow
ing information about the Arab Habib - he said:-
M '.Then sending the 30 cases of presents to His
Highness the Oultan of 'Muscat, Habib wrote: *1 intend
to come to ny native country and lay myself and
property at your feet - if Your Higliness has no
objection to my coming send the Yacht to convey me 1 •
The Sultan being greatly pleased at the conduct of
the man and much appreciating the presents thus sent
ordered the Yacht to sail with the sole intention of
bringing him round to I'uscat although on the other
hand it was made known to the public that she was
going for the purpose of docking at Dar-es-Galaaia.
The courtiers at the Palace on becoming aware of this
gorgeous respect which is going to be accorded to this
man formed themselves into two factions - one in
d
favour of the man and the other against him - those
in favour admired his loyalty and felt anxious to have
him amongst them and the reverse party liad in mind
that the mar. would surely rob then of some of the
influence
About this item
- Content
The item discusses the question of whether natives of Muscat (also given as Maskat) living abroad are entitled to assistance and protection by the British Government, concluding that as Muscat is not a British protectorate protection cannot be extended to its subjects.
The same question is raised later in the item in relation to subjects of Zanzibar (given as Zanzibaris), with the same conclusion being reached for those individuals too.
Also discussed are enquiries into two Muscat subjects who had been residing in German East Africa and had requested permission to return to Muscat. The enquiries relate to suspicions that the individuals may be German Agents and that their intended return to Muscat may be an attempt by the German Empire to make overtures to the Sultan of Muscat.
The principal correspondents are the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. and Consul at Muscat (William George Grey, Frank McConaghey, and Robert Erskine Holland); the Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
