and the arrangements to be made for the purpose of ensuring the safety of the
Aden !) thala Road, I have the honour to submit the following report on the
points alluded to in Foreign Department telegram, dated the 27th June last.
2. From the attached copy of a memor mdum, No 427, dated the 7th July
1907, which has been received from the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. , Lthala. it will be
observed that, though he dwells at some length upon the fact that the Amir’s
suzerainty is a convenient fiction and urges that it is to Government alone
that the Kotaibi Tribe will admit real responsibility, he at the same time does
not anticipitate that fresh difficulties will arise from theschene of paying the
Kofaibi tribe the proposed stipend through the Amir of Dthala, and htlieves
that he can arrange for it to be now agreeably received through the Amir’s
medium.
3. Under the circumstances, there would seem to be no reason why this
arrangement should not be now effected, and the Amir’s concurrence formally
obtained to the proposed agreement with the Kotaibi ’tribe.
4. The drift agreements, which are herewith submitted for the consideration
of Government (Appendix “A”), contain no actual mention of suzerainty or
mediation, but if Government think it expedient that more prominence should
be given to these features the desired etfect can be obtained by slight modifica
tion of the preamble and of Article 8.
5 lu the case of the Haushabi Tabe, with whom we hnve a separate Pro
tectorate Treaty, the existence of Abdali suzerainty and mediati >n was made
the subject of a separate and personal agreement between the Chiefs concerned
In 895. But as we have no such treaty with the Kotaibi Tribe, Government
may think it expedient that a different course should be adopted in regard to
them. And as Major Jacob is of opinion that this can be arranged without
difficulty, special mention of the Amir’s mediation might accordingly be made
in Article 8 of the suggested agreement with the Kotaibi. A similar course
would not seem to be necessary in the case of the Haushabi agreement.
6. As to the pioposed redistribution of posts, Major Jacob anticipates no
difficulties, and suggests immediate action. But I am of opinion that it would
be inexpedient to destrov the Suleik Post until the proposed agreements have
been concluded, and the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. has himself withdrawn from D thala to
