NOTES.
The Abu Ras Affair.
From more than one source Aden has learned that the X)hu
Mohammed and Dim Husein are far from considering the Abu
Has affair settled (see pp. 304, 319, 355, 366, 384, etc.). In
fact, the Imam Yahya is reported to have refused to pay over
the promised blood-money. lo put off the threatened
recrudescence of tribal rebellion, the lurks are stated to have
sent two of their inculpated officers to Sanaa for trial, viz.,
Husni Bey, of Ali Said Pasha’s staff and Elias Bey, Kaimmakam
of Ibb ; but it will surprise no one if the tribes regard this
measure as a mere blind. Mohammed Nasir Muqbil, also
inculpated, refused, it is said, to accompany the others, probably
because he had a shrewd suspicion he would ultimately be made
by the Court sole scapegoat. He hates Turks and Imam about
equally. An unconfirmed report, states, however, that he was
arrested subsequently by 150 of the Imam’s men and haled off ;
but this is very doubtful. Meanwhile the great Bekil tribes are
vowing vengeance.
Boundary of the Aden Protectorate.
Our attention has been called to a serious mistake about
the Aden Protectorate on page 179 of the “ Handbook of Arabia
1 ol. /., where an eastern boundary has been indicated which
is neither recognized nor contemplated. The information on
this matter at the disposal of the compilers of the Handbook
was not quite up-to-date.
Colonel Neiccombe.
Readers of the Arab Bulletin will be glad to know that
Lieut.-Col. S. F. Newcombe, D.S.O., taken prisoner by the
Turks at the beginning of our Palestine advance early this
month, has suffered, according to such information as can be
obtained, no hurt and was well treated, prior to removal to
Damascus. He is the first officer on the Staff for Arab
Operations who has fallen into Turkish hands. He had some
narrow escapes in Hejaz, where he displayed the same obstinate
audacity.
Jeizan.
1 he officers^ who undertook the mission to Idrisi in
October, include in their report (for which see p. 474) a
description of Jeizan and its neighbourhood. The place itself is
only a village, built mainly of brushwood but possessing four
stone houses. 1 he population is about 3,500. It has three
torts, only one of which, some 300 yards south of the village is
m good repair. Our officers thought it well placed, as’ it
