No. Jk 2
Dated SOth July 1910,
In case of reference from Horned I inform you of following.
On July 7th I received a telegram from Consul Bucreh to the effect
that according to local report some Arabs from Koweit had last
month attached and plundered come Zobair Arabs and that 4 of
latter had been killed. Incident was said to be regarded gravely
by the Busreh authorities and it was suggested that Mubarek should
be advised if report was true kBX to punish offenders and reassmre
V/ali. Instructions in sense desired and purport of telegram were
telegraphed to Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. Ivowei^K He now replies th&t Sheikh
nad already informed V/ali that offe dors were a party of Bedouins
on their way to raid the Umtair; that they had been fired on out
side Zobeir and had retaliated by seizing some donkeys but there
had been no casualties. The Sheikh denied cognizance or responsi
bility for what had taken place but had used his influence to re
cover donkeys and restore them. Shakespear considers that offender
do come within category of noweit arabs but that it is improbable
that raid was deliberate or comraitifced unprovoked. He adds that
Sheikh realises so thoroughly how prejudicial it would be to his
interests to anger the Wali needlessly now hat it is extremely
unlikely that he was in any way a party to the raid.
Sheikh Aubarek complains that same clique who are intriguing
in Busreh inregard to Fadaghia question are using present occur
rence to increase ill-feeling against Lubarek in the mind of the
Wali.
