’liirby arrives today.
To a deputation which went to hecca from
Jeddah, Jahltabi leader offered general immunity, non-
-intervention in affairs of Jeddali and retention of
all officials. Only condition is that dli s hould be
arrested or forced to leave. the people are quite
prepared to if ice Ali but he, with small lore;,
composed mainly of elements from outside Hejaz, is no
longer under their control.
The Wahhabis threaten to treat Jeddah like
’aif if condition is not fulfilled. "his is probably
bluff, but the population is alarmed and the riel, are
fleeing in all directions. Jeddah should be easy to
defend, but reliability of force doubtful; on the other
hand, the invader has never yet met setious resistance and
might not like to face trenches. In any cat e I do not
expect attack to be made before arrival of Ibn Baud*
