Extract from the weekly letter of the Resident
dated the 19th Cctob ar» "[007
st Aden
1 have noV '' recei vea letters from the Kotaibi and Haushabi as
well as another letter from the Alawi Chief re £ arding the
proposed agreements with them. As I anticipated in my letter
of the 5th instant, further progress is delayed by the Ramssn
fast, and I do not expect any of the Chiefs to visit Aden until
that is over. xhe -^oteibi evinces a desire to rress for a
larger stipend than that suggested, and for the ri^-ht to 1
evy
transit dues on the road. Neither hie attitude no- that of the
Alawi ere at present promising. Beyond referring to the Ramzan
fast the Haushabi only s-y? that he has one agreement with us
oIr ea dy.
2. I hod another interview with the Amir of Bthala on the
16th instant, and made it clear to him that, whilst we should
^ l

dealings with any of his tribesmen unnecessary, it still rested
with him to show that he could exercise such control without a
decree of support and intervention on our part which it was
neither our custom nor our intention to accord.
