ADEN, May 14, 2009 –
The interest in British Somaliland at present centers mainly round the
visit of Sir Reginald Wingate, who has proceeded with his staff from
Berbera into the interior and commenced his investigation of the
political and general military situation there, on which he is to report
to the Government. Various rumors are in circulation as to the outcome
of this visit, the most prominent of which is that the country in
question may ultimately be placed under Egyptian administration. H.M.S.
Philomel has been temporarily removed from the blockade along the
Somaliland coast and remains at Berbera in attendance on the Sirdar and
will act as his despatch ship between there and Aden whenever the
necessity arises.
