NEW WAR IN ARABIA?
FERMENT AMONG TRIBES BRITISH ENUTRALITY. LONDON, Feb. 28. Serious trouble would seem to be brewing between the rival rulers of the Greater Arabia. The Imam Yehia of the Yemen, greatly strengthened by his recent political and economic agreement with Italy, is once more pressing his weaker neighbour, the Indrisi dynasty, in the Assyr. fbn Saud, the Wahabi King of Nejd, and the Hcdjaz, has taken umbrage at the Imam’s northward progress, and contemplates supporting Assyr against the Yemen. The British position regarding these wars is one of neutrality. The Italians have undertaken that in whatever new territories may be incorporated within the territory of their friend, the Imam Yehia, prior British concessions and option rights shall be strictly respected by Italian enterprise.
