Sir
I am directed to refer to the telegram from the Government
of India in the Foreign and Political Department, Ho. 74?-D.,
dated the 6th February 1915, which conveyed sanction to the
payment for one year to Sultan Umar bin Kahtan of the Upper
Taffai of the stipend of#. 50/- per mensem formerly paid to
his late father, Sultan Kahtan bin Umar.
E. 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.
at Aden observes that Sultan Umar
has not been able to re-establish his position, and that
will never attempt to work actively for his restitution, unless
his stipend is actually stopped, the restoration of it being
made conditional upon his taking possession of the ’’family
dar'*. Brigadier General Price does not, however, recommend
the adoption of this course at present in view of the unsettlec
state of affairs in the Aden Hinterland, as it might influence
the Sultan to take sides with the Turks. I am accordingly to
request that the Government of India may be moved to sanction
the continuance of the stipend to Sultan Umar bin Kahtan for a
further period of one year.
I have, etc.,

Secretary to Government
