ARAB TRIBES IN THE VICINITY OF ADEN.
On the 2nd August the British force returned to Aden
leaving a detachment at Musemir, which was however shortly
afterwards withdrawn.
In May 1902 the Sultan visited Aden. On his return
the Haushabf began plundering kafilas and levying dues and
a fight took place with the ’Abdalf. In June Captain
Pottinger, Assistant Resident, was sent to the Haushabf
country and succeeded in opening the road, and in effecting
a reconciliation between the Haushabf and ’Abdalf.
In December the Boundary Commission demarcated
19 o 3 . the Haushabf border.
The Sultan who was in bad health did not succeed in
stopping some of his tribesmen from plundering kafilas and
his stipend was stopped to make good the amounts plundered.
On the 28th September 1904 Sultan Mohsin bin ’Alf died.
He was succeeded by Sultan ’Alf
I9 ° 4 ' Mani’ whose relations with his kinsmen
of Ar-Raha were strained.
In June-July Captain Jacob the Political Officer was
deputed to Nobat Dakim to enquire
I90S ' into ’Abdalf-Haushabf relations qua
the ’Abdalf-Haushabf agreement of 1895, to which Sultans
Fadthl bin ’Alf of Lahej and Mohsin bin ’Alf of the Haushabfs
were parties. The young Sultan ’Alf Mani’ thought the
agreement derogatory to his position as a Sultdn having
direct treaty relations with the British Government. After
an enquiry of 3 weeks it was amicably arranged that the 1895
agreement should hold good. The 1899 agreement between
these two chiefs was made null and void and the Haushabf
was allowed, if he so wished, to enjoy the revenues of the
'Amfrf lands which, once Haushabf, had gone over to the
’Abdalf, as part of the indemnity for his losses in coercing
the former Sultan Mohsin bin ’Alf. This settlement was up
held by Government.
’Abdalf-Haushabf relations remained satisfactory through
out the year, ’Alf Mani’ recognising the tutelage of the ’Abdalf
Sultan.
’Alf Mani’ complained of loss of revenue on his borders
by reason of the encroachments of certain Turkish border
Arabs, notably the Wajihf.
