Trr-v,
v#e had to scc^pt, the conditions of to-day.
h. after protracted negotiation* the rivnla
agreed to be reconciled on the following condition*
(1) Suit an Saleh bin o^ter to be acknowledged
a* the Sultan of the Upper Yafai*, 'ind to
receive the stipend hitherto paid to the
"de Jure" Sultan Omer bin KaWNen.
(2) Sultan Omer to pay dollars 4000 as blood-
money compensation to the heirs of the people
killed in the fights between the two parties.
(o) Sultan Omer -nd his relative* to return to
the fa illy M wuere ••ultan Saleh and his
sons will also reside.
(4) That the Government be requested to double
, the stipend in view of the extra expenditure
that will henceforth be necessary.
6. From the above it will be noticed that Sultan
Saleh scores all through, which further proves hi*
stability. There is no objection to our fornal
recognition of him as Sultan and transfer of the exist
ing stipend to his name, and i would recommend that
this be done.
As regard* the payment of blood-money our
late nominee has nothing wherewith to satisfy this
part of the bargain. Although there is nothing on
paper he appears to have been promised the amount
by Lieut.-Colonel Wood, G.X.L., late First Assistant
iiesident, as a basis for the negotiations, and this
promise it is incumbent on the Government now to
fulfil. it is therefore requested that sanction
may b# accorded to the payment of 4QC0 dollars (M.T.)
to the parties concerned.
With reference to item 4, 1 an of opinion
that since the new oultan is to be recipient of the
stipend in future, we should not altogether desert Gmer
after having backed him and Vila father ao long. An
