Arabian Rulers arid the Pilgrimage.
Qasim townspeople confirm an earlier report that Ibn Sand
is restraining his tribesmen from taking part in the pilgrimage,
with the threat of outlawry. Ibn Rashid on the other hand, has
despatched a thousand Shammar pilgrims with complimentary
messages to the King and an assurance of his allegiance. A
similar number of pilgrims has arrived from the Yemen.
Abdul Hamid Bey.
The obituary notice of Abdul Hamid Bey el-Masri, which
appears on page 265, seems to have been premature. According
to a recent report from Mr. Philby, he was near Hail in August
last. The responsibility for the statement that Abdul Hamid
was killed, rests with Abdullah. Sheikh Hedeiban el-Jeheishi
merely reported the death of one officer.
Idrises Situation.
The Resident at Aden reports that he has seen Captain
Clayton and agrees with him that the situation is not so black
as painted by Nasr ed-Din. Idrisi has executed a volte-face, and
asks that Captain Clayton may return. El-Atn was occupied
by Idrisi’s forces on September 6, and, at the request of Said
Mustafa, H.M.S. “ Odin ” shelled Loheiya on September 11.
On the following day Idrisi’s forces entered Loheiya. They
hold Gfanda also, but Turkish troops, posted on a hill half a mile
east of Loheiya, still command the Ganda-Loheiya road.
Yemen.
A telegram from Aden, dated September 16, states that
the report that the Turks have handed over the Yemen to the
Imam fee page 308), is confirmed by local agents.
