991. Customs.—With reference to paragraph 813, the landing contract
is being given to a company composed of four men. The leading member of
this Company is Ali Musa Khan, the Chief Arab arms-dealer in Maskat: the
other three are, Zubair, a clerk of His Highness the Sultan, Hamdan, Maskat
Post Office Munshi, and Muhammad Kathuria. No official intimation of
this arrangement for landing cargo has been received by the Political
Agency. The British Indian trading population is not in favour of this
arrangement as they consider that, according to old custom in Maskat, they
should appoint the landing contractor subject to His Highness’s approval.
992. Foreign interests.—Ab&vl Wahab Pasha Kartas, Deputy for .Basrah,
who was a passenger on board the S.S. Dumra on the 1st November, wrote
a letter to the Political Agent expressing his pleasure at hearing that Major
Knox was posted at Maskat and regretting his inability to pay him a visit for
want of time. He said he was going to Constantinople and hoped to visit
Major Knox on his return.
993. Monsieur Neauber, who arrived in Maskat a few weeks ago, called
on the Political Agent on the 23rd November and informed him that he had
hired a house belonging to Saiyid Yusuf Az Zawawi after some difficulty.
He thought he might have to stay in Maskat till May, but hoped to get away
in January.
994 Miscellaneous.—'With, reference to paragraph 907, the three
Madrassi gentlemen returned from the interior on the evening of the 1st
November. They say they spent 25 days in the interior and were
well received and treated by Bedouin Shaikhs. They also reported that
they made a geological survey of the land they visited and found much
interesting and promising information. They stated that they would write a
report on their visit to the interior and make a sketch map, copies of which
they promised to furnish to the Agency. On the 3rd they said His Highness
the Sultan had taken charge of all their records of the journey and to!d° them
that it was unnecessary for them to write a report or to prepare a sketch map.
