14th Weekly Letter.
Dated Aden Residency, the 5th (received 14th) April 1913.
From—The Political Resident at Aden,
To—C. C. Watson, Esq., I.C.S., Acting Secretary to the Government of Bombay^
Special Department.
With reference to the Zindani Shaikh’s recent threats of invasion of Jabel
Jihaf with the aid of Turkish troops (vide paragraph 2 of my letter of 22nd March
1913), our news correspondent, Saiyid Muhammad Taha, reports that the Shaikh
is an imbecile and he has lost all influence over his people.
2. Saiyid Muhammad Taha further reports that a mixed force of Turkish and
Imamic soldiers has destroyed all the stone buildings in the village of Hamar, near
Kataba, and taken away animals from the village. It is reported, and confirmed
by the Amir of Dthala, that a similar force to the above has destroyed stone build
ings in Mures (Turkish) and has arrested the Shaikhs of the place. This is believed
to be in connection with the recent murder of the Kaimmakam of Kataba. The
people of Mures failed to hand over the murderers, who are said to have taken
refuge in Upper Yafa (British).
3. The Mansab of the Sanawi reports that the Masfari, Bughaili and Shukri
sections of the Jorabi (Subehi)have carried away from the trade route five camels
with their loads of 4 4 kat ’ ’. Two of the camels were subsequently restored to their
owners, and the remainder were sold by the marauders for $ 80. The Abdali
Sultan has demanded early restitution on behalf of the sufferers. The result is
awaited.
The Somati (Subehi) is also reported to have carried away six camels laden
with 44 kat ” on the 30th March 1913.
Dated Aden Residency, the 5th April 1913.
Endorsed by the Political Resident, Aden.
Copy forwarded, with compliments, to the Deputy Secretary to the Govern
ment of India in the Foreign Department, Simla.
