One Shailch Saleh Ba Dawi, who recently visited
Aden, reported that Bin Baud's Q,azi, Abdulla Rashid referred
to in my letter of 13th August 1920, fell from his horse at
Ebha and died.
YMEN (Upper & Lower )
According to the report of a traveller from Mavia
one of the Imam's sons has arrived at Ibb and is expected at
Taiz to which place he will go via Mavia accompanied by 600
men. A number of Sheikhs and Akils of Mavia have been invited
to meet him. This news is confirmed by Sheikh Mahomed Nasir
Mukbil of Mavia in a letter to the Haushabi Sultan.
| The news of the Imam’s death reported last week is
I not confirmed. This week’s reports, however, state that he
is very ill at Rada.
All leave to the Imamic troops at Taiz, Mavia and
Dhala is said to have been stopped by order of the Imam.
The Arail at Dhala is reported to be paying the Zaidi
soldiers a portion of their arrears of poy in an attempt to
put a stop to the frequent desertions.
Reports of Zaidi feeling point to their entertaining
an altogether exaggerated idea of our strength at iobat Dakim,
where they think we have aeroplanes.
ADEN PROTECTORATE.
There has been no change in uhe situation. Dild

The Right Honourable Earl Ourzon
of Kedleston, K.G. etc., etc., etc.
