2. On the access ion of Sultan Taimur bin Faisal there
were present in Muscat a French Consul and an American Vice
Consul and the Sultan addressed them direct intimating his
accession, Tide his circular letter dated the 9th October
1913 to the Consular Body at Muscat, forwarded to the Govern
ment of India under Knoa^s letter Ho. 180, dated the 9th
October 1913* There was therefore no necessity for His
Majesty's GoTernment to make the intimation on the Sultan &
behalf. The Dutch Gorernment had no representative in
Muscat at the time but the question of intimating to that
Government the Sultans accession does not appear to have
been ooneldered nor, eo far mm we ere aware, was any Intima
tion to them made by the Sultan himself. Sor is this
omission surprising since Dutch interests in Muscat are nil
and it is only recently, in connection with the question of
the revision of the Muscat tariff, that the Dutch OoTern-
ment's treaty relations with Muscat hare been brou^xt into
some prominence*
