Anjuman-I-Khuddam-I-Kaaba.
The British agent, Jeddah, reports that there are indications
that attempts are being made in the Hejaz to revive the
Anjuman-I-Khuddam-I-Kaaba. An Indian merchant of Mecca*
Abdul Jabbar, and other notables of that town, are alleged
to d)e in favour of a Wahabi conquest, and the British agent
suggests that financial support is probably being received from
sympathizers in India, such as Ali Jan of Delhi.
NOTES.
The Ikhwan.
In a report (dated July 20, 1919) from Damascus it is
alleged that Wahabism is on the wane in Nejd. Feisal el Der-
wish, head of the Muteir tribe, whose name was previously given
by the Assistant Political Officer, Basrah (see page 86 of this
volume), as leader of the Ikhwan, is said to have offered his
services to Emir Ali at Medina, and to have been sent with Emir
Dhari ibn Rashid (see pages 111, 121 and 224, volume 1918),
and a composite following of Muteir, Harb, and Huteim tribesmen*
to raid Ibn Saud. According to a report made by the Political
Officer, Deraa, who presumably got his information from Dhari
ibn Rashid himself, the raid was carried into Nejd and Feisal
was killed. As a result, the Muteir joined up with the Sherif.
The Political Officer, Deraa, asserts that the Harb have re
nounced Wahabism after “ a defeat by Sherif Ali, who destroyed
their headquarters.” Hamed el Derwish is said to be the
present leader of the Ikhwan.
Yemen.
King Husein has proudly sent for our perusal two letters of
submission he has lately received from certain Seyyids and
Sheikhs of the Southern Yemen and of the northern limits of
the Aden Protectorate.
Apparently, the King has again employed Seyyid Yahya
ibn Abdul Rahman el Filani (see page 99 of this volume) on a
political mission, for the writers of the letters state that this
Seyyid has arrived amongst them, and, as the envelopes bear the
imprint “ Gellatly, Hankey & Co., Jeddah,” Seyyid Yahya
would appear to have taken with him the stationery needed
for preparing these documents of allegiance.
Addressing the King as Caliph, Emir el Muminin and a
variety of other more or less appropriate titles, the writers affirm
their willingness to provide him with troops for use against any
