Foreign. Secret. Delimitation of Aden boundary. The following is a
translation of a Note received by Sir N. O’Conor from the Porte dated
November 1st:—
Begins. His Britannic Majesty’s Embassy has been so good as to address
to the Porte a request for determination and placing of pillars of the line of
demarcation between the Vilayet of Yemen and the nine Cantons, as w r ell as
the withdrawal of Imperial Troops sent recently to Jebel Jihaf, Mafari, Lakhmat
as Saleh, and Soheb in the neighbourhood of the Cantons of Amiri. With
a view to arriving at an amicable solution of the question, the Imperial Govern
ment have decided that the said points should be, for the present, evacuated by
Imperial Troops in order that the delegates of the two States may be able, after
enquiry, to pronounce on the question on which side these points are to remain,
so that action may be taken accordingly, and that delimitation may be carried
on at once towards the North-East, that is to say, towards the desert; if at the
time of delimitation the said delegates do not come to an agreement, this
divergence shall be settled, after examination, between the Ottoman and British
Governments. This decision having been sanctioned by Imperial Irade, the
necessary instructions have been sent to the local authorities. The Minister of
Foreign Affairs hastens to bring the foregoing to the knowledge of the Embassy
of His Majesty for the necessary action. Ends.
Sir N. O’Conor suggests that the British Commissioner should be furnished
with the exact text as soon as possible. Please accordingly instruct the Resident
at Aden.
