have moved up a large force.

nine Cantons. e
Before expressing an opinion upon this latter proposal I shall be glad to
know what course is contemplated with regard to delimitation of Beda and
tipper Aulaki. Ihe main object has been to draw the line from the Amiri
territory to the desert so as to cut the Turks completely off from access to
the Hadramaut. Can this be done by delimitation of the Upper Yaffai
frontier only or must the delimitation be extended to .north-western
frontiers of Beda and Upper Aulaki also ? We had not understood that
such was the case If otherwise, are these new agreements proposed mainly
for the purpose of influencing the Upper Yaffai ? Have any definite offere
of treaty combined with subsidy and promises of protection been made to
Upper Yaffai, as authorised in my telegram of 9th January ? If so with
what result ? ’
