ihci Afoclali Ills ,3 sent out raouutedi pa,trots and
nas warned the Haushabi Sultan of possible attacks on
the trade routes in hia country. These Subehi tribesmen
appear to consider that the best way to bring pressure
^ to bear on the Abdall Sultan, to redress real or fancied
grievances, is to attempt to embroil him and ue with
the J&aldi officials.
An Abdali Baiyid is reported to have been killed,
i?i the Fadli country by the fadli tribesmen of Birjaj.
The barkaahis, another section of the Fadli
tribe, shot one of their own tribesmen mistaking him for
tae bro^iior of the Upper Aulakl Sheikh, whom they wanted
to kill.
A dispute has arisen between the old Fadli
Sultan and his grandson, Sultan Abdul ilader who is the
defacto Sultan of the. Tadll tribe, m the former wishes to
bequeath State lands to his son Fadl. Trouble was
expected but the latest news received states that the
dispute has been settled.
Some of the relative© of Aulaki and the beda
Sultan® are reported to have gone to Sanaa to ask for
help against their respective Sultans,
The brother® of the llakib of Mauaatta (Yafa)
who had gone to Hadira to secure the release of the
remaining Yafa captives with the Imarn, are reported to
have returned with presentsof #300/^ and 5 rifles from
the Imam, who has ordered the release of the captives.
The auaatta tribesmen looking upon their Kaqib’s brothers
as traitors owing to their visit to and receipt of
presents from the Imam, have refused to allow the Shaikh#
to return to their homes.
