in collusion with intriguers at Busreh
intends to repudiate the sale of the Fadaghia property on the
grounds among other pretexts, that an inadequate price was paid
fot it. Information has. also been received by LIubarek that Ahmed
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
intends sending surveyors to the property to carry out
measurements of the ground and that if interfered with^Mobarek* s
cultivators he will receive assistance to eject fhern from Govern
ment. It ie believed by the bheikli that fhe it i- tin tali who is
putting up this intrigue with a view to coercing him in regard to
the registration question. It is possible also that a certain
clique in Busreh are devising this means of bleeding the Sheikh
now that they see that he is in difficulties with the Walfc.
Sheikh Mubarek reiterates his determination under our advice
to continue to refuse to register either himself or his sons as
Ottoman subjects, but he explains that the subversion of the salo
will put him to very great pecuniary loss and urgently repeats
his appeal for protection of his interests. In a simultaneous
report the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
considers that the Sheikh's apprehen
sions regarding.the contemplated repudiation of the sale of the
Fadaghia property are well founded and remarks that having regard
to the recent bombardment of Zain and theturn the Fadaghia affair
is now taking the Sheikh is now thoroughly alarmed. With reference
to my telegram No. 6 io dated 7 th June. I shall be glad to be
placed in a position to make Sheikh some reassuring communication.
