Despatch No. 402 of the 7th instant, transmitting, for my information
copies of correspondence between the Governments of India and 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 in regard to the measures which it is
proposed to take against the Saidi and Ilasani tribes on account of
the attack made upon Mr. G. W. Bury’s survey party in January 1901.
In paragraph 7 of his Confidential DespatctfNo. 5193 of 27th August

Government of Bombay From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions. , the Acting 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 remarks
that there is now no actual demarcation to be effected in the North
East. I would venture to observe, however, that this may lie so as far
as the expedition now in contemplation is concerned, but that, inasmuch
as the North-East boundary between the Nine Cantons and the Yemen
has not yet been delimited, and the Porte have expressed their readiness
at a due moment to demarcate this frontier jointly with us, care should
be taken not unnecessarily to create the impression upon the Turks
that we have taken the matter into our own hands and are practically
delimiting the frontier ourselves. If such an idea should occur to them,
I fear they would place as many difficulties as they could create in the
way of our expedition.
Bcda is indisputably on our side of the frontier from Lakmet-es-
Shoub to the desert, but the Lurks consider it as one of their adminis
trative districts, and are even inclined to regard the place as Ottoman
territory.
I have not offered these observations with any intention of inter
fering with the proposed expedition, but merely foY the information of
