No. 222.] Viceroy to Secretary of State.
Telegram, 16th May 1902, 6 p. m. (Despd. from Poreign Dept.)
Your telegrams to Aden 11th and 13th May. Before receiving these, and
with reference to your telegrams of 5th and 7th, I had sent followino* tele
gram to Besident, dated 10th May :—
Begins. We understand that Secretary of State wishes Wahab to deli
mitate up to limits of shaded portions of bis map in his survey report of
1891-92. Will not this give Wahab the more important part of the line
recommended in his No. 20, dated 7th April, including all villages in
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
-us-
Safiya at any rate as far as Jabal Jahaf ? Prom this point line would follow

instead of extending to Tiban river. Amir would retain Mehrabi
Mafari and Azraki country, but would lose the Ahmadi and Humedi tribes,
unless by claiming to extend the line to limit of map so as to include Amara
andHumar, you could arrange to exchange these for the Ahmadi and Humedi
line suggested which might start from peak 7395 N.-E. of Kataba and run
across valley south of Kataba to nearest point of opposite range would exclude
A1 Jalela from Turkish territory and include on Amir’s side all the villages he
claims between Jalela and Kataba. Ends.
Above suggestion accords with your instructions, but it is difficult to
demarcate line proposed which may possibly also include Ahmadi tribe 3 while
Turkish posts are far in advance of it, and continue their aggressive attitude.
I cordially support intention to ask Poreign Office to call on Turkish Govern
ment to withdraw 7 at once all Turkish posts on our side of line of 1892
including posts at Jalela.
