Resident at Aden which was forwarded with the letter of the Secretary
- Dated 23rd November 1805. in the Fore '^ Department of the
21st September last, No. 38 M, as
to the policy to be pursued towards the Saidi and Ilasani tribes in
connection with their attack on Mr. Bury’s survey party in January
1904.
2. His Majesty’s Government approve the views expressed in the
Despatch from His Majesty’s Ambassador at Constantinople of the
14th November 1905, as to the necessity of proceeding with caution in
the north-eastern districts of the Aden Hinterland which have not yet
been recognised by the Ottoman Government as being within the
British sphere.
3. I observe that the Bombay Government have instructed the
Resident that all direct pressure on the tribes in question is to be
deferred until there is some necessity for sending a party up to Beda
and the north-eastern districts. Should circumstances hereafter make it
desirable, in Your Excellency’s opinion, to despatch any party, His
Majesty’s Government would desire to be given an opportunity
of considering the matter before any final decision is taken.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship’s most obedient humble Servant,
