, ^ In compliance with the request contained in paragraph 4 > of your secret
letter No. 0.-314, dated the 9th September 1908, I am directed to forward
herewith, for your information, a copy of my letter No. 2330, dated the 31st
March last, addressed to the Government of India, Foreign Department
regarding tribal affairs on the Aden-D’thala road. S F
2. In your letter No. C.—110, dated the 29th February last, vou made
certain proposals m regard to the present condition of affairs on the Aden-
D’thala road and expressed certain views. In forwarding that letter to the
Foreign Department the Bombay Governmert concurred generally in your
proposals, rsupported some of your recommendations, and suggested the modi
fication of others. In their letter No. 2403-E.B., dated the 10th July 1908,
the Government of India, Foreign Department, concurred in the views and
proposals expressed by this Government except in regard to the withholding of
the additional stipend to the Kotaibi Chief. °
3. The Government of India’s reply was sent to you under this Depart
ment endorsement No. 4890, dated the 17th July 1908, and reading it with
the Bombay Government’s letter No. 2380, dated the 31st March 1908, you
will see that it contains orders on all the points mentioned by you. It is
presumed, therefore, that you are not now in need of any further orders of
Government before submitting your final proposals in the matter.
No. C.-497, dated Aden Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. , the 21st November 1908 (Confidential).
From— Major-General E. De Brath, C.B., C.I.E., 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. , Aden,
To—The Secretary to Government, Political Department, Bombay.
In reply to your letter No. 180-P., dated 2nd October 1908, I have the
honour to remark that the position has been entirely altered since the submis
sion of my letter No. C.-110, dated 29th February 1908, by the rebuilding of
the Alawi and Kotaibi dars as also by the levying of unauthorized dues by the
Kotaibi.
2. As Government have agreed to proposals (ii), (iii), and tiv) of my letter
as a basis of a possible agreement, I propose to do whatever may be possible to
expedite a settlement on those lines, but I would remark that it is not a matter
to be unduly hurried as, in proportion as I may show eagerness to effect a
settlement, the Chiefs concerned will hang back with a view to obtaining
better terms.
I regret, therefore, that pending further developments, I am not in a
position to submit final proposals in the matter.
