.
In continuation of my letter No. 129, dated the
28th June 1903, I have the honour to report that I have
received information to the effect that while Yusuf Beg
is at El-Bidaa acting for the Mudir of that place who is
away at El-Hassa, he has not removed his personal effects
from Wakra and that a Turkish soldier is kept there to
guard over the effects. This fact may oe brought to the
notice of His Excellency the Wali of Busreh tnrough his
Britannic Majesty*s Consul.
It would seem from this information that the
Mutessarif has not entirely carried out the orders alleged
to have Been sent By the Turkish Government and is
temporising until further correspondence on the subject
passes Between him and the Porte and the withdrawal of
Yusuf Beg to El-Bidaa is only a temporary measure to make
it appear that he has Been removed.
