ADEN.
1. (See paragraph 1 of the Memo
randum for April 1905.) Mr. EitzMaurice, on
the 16th May 1905, submitted a copy of his
report, the signed proceedings, maps with the
boundaries marked thereon, and detailed des
criptions of the frontier from Khurj to the sea,
all duly signed by the Ottoman Commissioner.
2. As regards Beda, the Resident at
Aden is engaged in the resumption of negotia
tions with a view, if possible, to overcome Ali
bin Ahmed al Rasasis’s (cousin of the titular
Sultan who is non compos mentis) reluc
tance to visit Aden, or, if possible, to arrange
for the Sultan’s son and some of the leading
Sheikhs to come with the authority and seal
of the Sultan to sign a treaty on his behalf.
3. (See paragraph 3 of the Memo
randum for April 1905.) Sheikh Eadthl bin
Abdulla, younger son of the late Abdulla ba
Haidara Mehdi, has been elected as Sheikh of
the Akrabis, and is permitted to enjoy the
stipend received by his late father.
4. It was proposed during the month to
abolish the military post at Nobat Dakim,
being very unhealthy, and to hand the same
over to the Haushabi Sultan, with the duty of
protecting the road between Aden and Dthala.
The Resident at Aden has been directed
thoroughly to satisfy himself, and report further
as to the ability and intention of the Sultan to
fulfil the obligations imposed upon him, on
lines similar to that concluded with the Amir
of Dthala {vide paragraph 2 of the Memo
randum for Eebruary 1905) before anything
final is settled.
5. It has been decided that the strength
of the garrison at Dthala will, in future, be
half a battalion of British infantry and four
guns Camel Battery.
