1914. The situation at Maskat has so much, improved owinsr to set back
given to rebels by the action of His Majesty’s ships that the Government of
India consider that no further action now appears necessary beyond pushing

His Highness the Sultan. We propose following action :—
Firstly.--As regards Levy scheme. The Sultan should he reminded bv
'i/ 1 ^ that it is entirely thanks to the action taken on his behalf
by Government that the rebels have lost heart, but that Government of India

and will be constrained not only to suspend and recover loan hut to devote
subsidy to maintenance of Indian garrison at Matra unless Sultan applies
imself in earnest to formulation of scheme and desists from foolish waste of

Secondly. The Government of India do not consider that any of the
matters reported in your telegrams Nos. 419'and 423/dated 8th and 9th April,
respectively, are of sufficient importance to call for separate treatment, but
His Highness the Sultan of Maskat should be informed that collectively they
indicate very unsatisfactory and misguided attitude on his part and that it ‘
may become necessary for Government of India to reconsider their present
benevolent attitude towards him unless he can speedily satisfy them that he
means to turn over new leaf and show himself more deserving of their support/
