minds of this idea the notion seems to die hard. The Chiefs and their followers
fcierefore still continue to come in for what they deem their “ dues.” I enclose
herewith a statement* showing the names of the principal Chiefs who \isited
Aden from time to time during the past nine months, and would particularly
invite attention to the more important amongst them—
(i) The Ahdali Sultan with a following of 25 men arrived in June 1904
to hid farewell to General Maitland before his departure from
Aden on retirement, and to see at the same time the new Resident.
He had to be entertained in a manner suitable to his rank, and
given presents proportionate to his importance.
(it) The circumstances under which the Eadthli Sultan was liberally
treated have already been explained in my letter No. 412, dated
the 30th December 1904.
(Hi) Also the Amir of D’thala with a following of 24 men arrived at
Aden to conclude a new treaty. In such instances the Chiefs and
their followers are received and entertained in keeping with the
importance of the occasion.
3. I would add that in applying for the extra grants, I have fixed the
figures at the lowest limit, as I am at present taking advantage of the presence
of plague in Aden and trying to dissuade the Chiefs and their followers from
coming in, and it is hoped by economic management to make the amounts
asked for meet all requirements.
No. 1098, datid Bombay Castle, the 15th February 1905.
RESOLUTION—By the Government of Bombay, Political Department.
Resolution. —The additional grants asked for by the Political Resident,
Aden, are sanctioned and should be met from the grant for special political
expenditure under ‘‘25—Political.”
