[Repeated to Secretary of State, India, and Bombay.)
P.— Mr. FitzMaurice telegraphs, on 5th August, for transmission :—
“ No. 24. Your telegram of 31s£ July, which was repeated to Government
of India by Resident. Return will be understood by the Turks locally to
imply execution affinal orders regarding Amiri border, which we trust there
will be no long delay in issuing, so that in October we may take up delimitation
south-westwards,
“ Turks, in consequence of Commission's recent forced inaction, have
regained much of moral ground they lost when they evacuated Jalela.
“ The difficulties in the way of survey, which we hope are only temporary,
are the situation reported in our No. 309, and the quarrel between the
Mausata Chiefs, of whom the one mentioned in paragraph 4 of our letter
No. 308, who has so far represented Jabal, declares himself now unable to
cooperate with survey.
“ Comment on our No. 306 is calculated to prolong regrettable friction.
The drought is proved by our rain record. JVe have now received the
documents withheld by Resident since 25th May, the tone and substance of
which explain much."
