In my last, letter, I reported that the pretender AH
Ba Lai 1am had succeeded in getting the sympathy and support
ot about 700 men of the Hadfan tribes and that these men
were collected at Ar Haha awaiting the outcome of an inter
view between the Koiebi Sheikh and the Sultan of Lahej.
The Abdeli Sultan now informs me that Ali Ba Sal lam
himself came to Lahej and that he took the opportunity of
advising him to be submissive. The Kotebis and Dhambaris
who had come with Ali Ba Sallam also gave him ' •imilar ad
vice. The Sultan adds that actuated solely by the desire
for the preservation of peace, he has increased Ba Sal lam’s
subsidy, which is paid from Haushabi dues collected at
Lahej and has also given him other financial assistance, on
condition that he behaves well in the future. The Sultan
hopes to bring about an amicable settlement between him and
trie new Haushabi Sultan, Mohs in bin Ali Month*
