93* His Highness the Sultan has received information from
the interior that the Imam, who was recently falling in health,
is now much stronger, and fears, that he may die, for the time
being, are shelved. His Highness when informing the Political

some pressure was brought to bear on him regarding the nomination
of his successor, but apparently he refused to do so. The

before he dies, he will be accepted without question; but in
the event of his death without a nominee, serious distrubances
in the interior would take place and a general bid for the
Imamate.
