The i Iraq and Trans^Jurdanlan envoys had started for
Basrah with/ instruction to fly from there to Kuwait*
Xe»terday # however, a report w-s received of a serious
raid into l Ir; q by the Ikhwan against the Dlwaniyah tribes
which took place on the 14th of March. It appears that
the main fighting took place in the neighbourhood of Umm
MaahatH Ha shim north of the western angle of the neutral
territory. It Is reported that the raiders seised vast
numbers of camels and sheep and 80 tents and then camped
on the spot. All *Iraq tribes are greatly excited and ha^
closed in towards the railway. In agreement with me, the
fiovemment of *Iraq have sent orders to their envoys not t>
proceed beyond Busrah until a full apology and redress have
been given for this incursion which renders any discussion
between the two Governments impossible, especially in view
of Ibn Sa l us l s threats conveyed in his letter No 29 of 23rd
February to the Resident, Bushire, that he could no longer
be responsible for restraining his tribes. It seems proto**
able from these previous threats that the raid now reported
was purpetrated by the Sultan 1 s orders. The % Ira ; Govern**
went will restrain it # s tribes from retaliation as far as
possible, but will find this extremely difficult unless
promt reparation Is made. If the raid prove to have been
as serious as at first reported, it looks as If it may be
necessary to put into force the definite threat of cutting
off the Sultan's supplies by sea.
