Sir
I have the honour to forward a report on the negotiations
carried on through my mediation as the representative of the
British G-overnment between the Oovernment of H.H» the Sultan
of Muscat and the tribes of interior Oman which terminated in
the reestablishment of peaceful relations on the 8th October
1920 •
In order make the situation quite clear I have found it
necessary to summarise very briefly the history and causes of
the late rising, and to give in some detail the sequence of
events from October 1919 till the conclusion of the negotia
nt ions*
I wish to draw the attention of Government to the
admirable arrangements made by Captain Pearson commanding tne
detachment of the l/lX7th Uahrattas at Muscat for my escort
and for the tents etc for the reception of the Oman Sheikhs,
Finally I wish to hiring to the notice of aovernment
the excellent work performed hy the Consular Dragoman,
Ehtlsham-ud-doulah Khan. The negotiations In question have
been going on for a year, and have entailed arduous aaiwork
and continual watchfullness. During this period he has been
indefatigable in obtaining information, and has more than once
been entrusted by me with work ifcctloucgOTiMk needing the
most delicate handling. At the meeting itself he also did
excellent work.
