(1) Ae: Aueuit - iiutair Affair*
Shaikh Abdullah bin Isa al JChalifah, C*I*E«, informs me
that FAISAL al Dawiah has returned to QRAllAT (Jariyah) from
Aejd. As a matter of fact shaikh Abdullah reports that Paiaal
was met half way to Eiadh by a messenger from bin Saud upon
which he returned;
(*). On 10th June I asked Abdul Aaiz alAuaaibi whether there
was any possible chance of the Mutuir acting against Kuwait i;
spite of bin baud’s orderas He laughed at the suggestion and
said such a contingency was impossible* The Hutair was one of
the moot loyal of bin baud’s tribes and would never move in
face of definite orders now received from bin Saud* They will
however hang on to « 4 raiyat*
(3) . Regarding Hail news; A good many rumours are going about
regarding bin Rasohid having denounced the recently ratified
treaty between himself and bin Raud. I have not yet received
anything worth making a definite report about, as everything
one hears here is unreliable* The moot common story is that Bin
Rasohid’s family took offence at a recent order of Bin Saud in
which the latter informed bin Rasohid that their ,, weJh ,, or
"tisyar" (official safe conduct) would not be recognized in
Mejd; and as a result had determined to denounce the recently
made treaty*
(4) * Mahomed al Saud brother of the Imam is reported to have
taken a force to passim about 13 days ago*
