From Secretary of State to Viceroy, Foreign Department,
lAith June 1907.
i .• For l ® 1 ^ n pecret. Aden. Your Secret letter No. 74, dated 25th April
last. Despatch goes by this mail. I approve proposals made in paragraphs
9-12 of your letter, on the understanding that Resident is satisfied that
scheme ot paying Kotaibi tribes through Amir of Dthala will not occasion
fresh disputes, and that redistribution of posts is so arranged as to he
acceptable to tribes concerned. It is presumed that payment of increased
Haushabi stipend through Ahdali Sultan and transfer to him of post at
Nobat Dakim, v ill cause no difficulty. Proposal that these arrangements
should be introduced before Political Officer finally leaves Dthala is approved
on understanding that be does not prolong his stay there for more than one
month after receipt by him of orders. This accords with Resident’s letter
of 27th January last in which, having before him question of increase of
stipends and redistribution of posts, he approved date suggested by Political
Officer for latter’s withdrawal, viz., 28th February. Jacob will of course
act in spirit of policy declared by His Majesty’s Government in adjusting
any difficulties that may arise.
Except on occasions of undoubted emergency, no action of the kind
suggested in paragraph 14 of your letter should be taken without previous
reference to me.
From Secretary of State to Viceroy, Foreign Department,
