Notes | No captures of slave dhows have been made during the past year. The importation of Africans is still on the decrease. It is highly probable that the representations so frequently made to that of the French are at last bearing fruit, and the latter are now investigating with more care than formerly the circumstances in which the tricolour is flown by Arabs. During 1905, 93 slaves applied to the Agency for freedom. Of these manumission papers were granted to 84 according to the provisions of the treaty of 1873. Of those, 39 were Africans, and 11 were sent to Zanzibar for repatriation and four were allowed to proceed to Bombay. The remainder were Persians or Baluchis, the majority of whom elected to remain in Oman. |
