January 1909, we have the honour to
forward, for Your Lordship’s consider
ation, a copy of the marginally-cited
correspondence on the subject of agree
ments with the Kotaibi, Alawi and
Haushabi Chiefs of the Aden Protectorate.
2. The circumstances in which the draft agreements with these Chiefs,
which were approved in Lord Morley’s telegram, dated the 3rd September 1907,
were not executed at that time are fully explained in the correspondence. The
Bombay Government consider that agreements may now suitably be concluded,
and they have accordingly prepared fresh draft agreements (copies enclosed),
the terms of which have been amplified to meet existing conditions.
3. W'e consider the drafts and the rates of stipend proposed, viz., 50
dollars a month to the Kotaibi, 25 dollars a month to the Alawi and 64 dollars
a month to the Haushabi, to be suitable, and recommend them for Your
Lordship’s sanction. In the case of the two latter Shaikhs these stipends
will bo in addition to those which they at present enjoy. We also propose to
approve of the presentation of rifles and ammunition to the Alawi and Kotaibi
Shaikhs on the scale proposed by the
