1909.) According to
a Mecca newspaper of the 4th April, the
forces of the new Amir of Nejd, Ibn
Rashid, had decisively routed the forces of
Saud Ibn Abdul Aziz who was killed. Two
batteries of artillery and five battalions of
infantry of the Ottoman army had been sent
to chastise the Saud party and had worked
successfully (whether they took part in the
engagement or not was not stated). The
same newspaper further reported that Ibn
Rashid, after the victory, had written to the
Central Government at Constantinople propos
ing that, fqr the conservation of the peace,
he should form a regular force of some
thousand local Arabs under Arabic-speaking
officers of the Turkish army. He begged also
that competent civil officials to re-organise his
administration and instructors in law might be
sent to him and he promised to assure the
safety of the Hedjaz Railway. The newspaper
applauded his sentiments, though hinting at
the difficulty of fulfilling this promise, and
anticipated peace and happiness for Nejd
under his Amirate and the new Turkish
regime.
