NOTES.
Somaliland.
The position of the Mullah’s Haroun remains unchanged at
Tale. Most of his animals are in very poor condition owing to
the continued drought. Two Dervish forces are believed to be
concentrated for an attack on our friendlies, one in the Jidali
district, the other at Walwal and Wardair.
At the beginning of December Ena Ali Sherri concentrated
a large force of Warsangeli and attacked the Dervish stock
grazing in the Surud hills. A severe engagement ensued in
which the raiders lost 150 killed and the Dervishes about 100.
The Warsangeli, however, brought back some 300 head of cattle.
A settlement of all outstanding questions between the Ogaden
(Bulletin 57, p. 317) and our western tribes was effected in
December, but unfortunately the Ogaden Her Ali have
subsequently not only declined to carry out the terms of
the settlement, but have again raided our tribes and taken 6,000
camels. It is also doubtful whether the Ogaden Rer Haroun
will abide by the settlement.
Yemen.
Sheikh Mohammed Hassan reports that the majority of the
Yemen sheikhs are favourable to Idrisi. It is reported _ from
Aden that the Imam is sending reinforcements to Lahej, and
from Kameran that he is proceeding personally against Idrisi.
The Kathiri Sultan has asked Ah Said 1 asha for assistance
against the Sultan of Makalla.

(or Jebel Milh), about four miles east of Atan. It is strong y
held bv the Turks, but the Arabs are apparently making
pnW They also claim a success m the Abs
country on March 2.
