2 T have already reported on the evident tendency towards disintegration
of the Amir's domains. ? his cannot but be unpalatable to Government, as it
would be a reversion to the status quo ante before our arrival on the scene
wiA the avowed obieot of consolidating the Amir whose tribesmen had
become estranged by reason of Turkish encroachmen of, and a sojourn of some
30 y^rs in, Amiri territories. I am fully aware the support then approved
was to be moral in kind.
3 New times demand new measures. If therefore, the Amir s eonditiou
should became really parlous-and not till then-and he expressly apply for
aid I request I may be given discretionary power to intervene. From my two
years'experience of, and close attention to, Hinterland affairs, I am confident
that an unequivocal declaration of the determination of Government, in the
per on of their local representative, to assure the supremacy of the Amir,
?">. w Ln threatened, will suffice to turn the scales in the Amir s favour.
► ILLltW UlsW ;
It is not a personal Amir we want to uphold, but the principle of the
authority of His House : otherwise, our sojourn m these parts will have nothing
to command it-rather, will have been mischievous m its effect.

The Kaimmakam of Kataba has accused a subject of the Amir of Dthala,
living in Hazat al ’Abid and close to the frontier, of the murder of a lurkish
subject. He has written to me and called for reparation, as, failing this, iresh
incidents must occur to mar the security of the border.
2. I have pressed the Amir to give early reparation, and this he has
undertaken to give, but uses the occasion to remind ^me of the many unsettled
claims he has made through me against Turkish subjects.
8. These claims X have duly forwarded to Kataha for settlement and
report, hut owing, in the main, to repeated changes of Kaimmakams and also
to the chaotic state of the country across the border, because of the fend with
the Iman, it has been left to the present incumbent, an Arab of promise, to
afford satisfaction, which indeed he has engaged to do.
4. I have assured the Kaimmakam, Kataha, of the Amir’s determina
tion to decide “ the Haza affair ” in terms of Arab custom, approved on both
sides the line, hut have invited his attention to the early settlement of the
Amir’s long outstanding grievances.
I will report later the progress made.
