with the slave trade, the entire instructions to the agent should come from the Foreign 
Office, and that the India Office should have nothing to do with it, 195 Statement in

Explanatory statement relative to the circumstances under under which the Sultan of 
Zanzibar is under obligation to pay a subsidy of 40,000 dollars a year to the sovereign 
of Muscat; usurpations and complications in Muscat since this arrangement was made, 
so that there is a difference of opinion between the Government of India and the Imperial 
Government upon the question whether the payment of the subsidy should be continued, 
197-204. 207. 265. 271-273 Belief that if the Sultan of Zanzibar were released from 
the payment of 8,000 1. a year to the ruler of Muscat he would be willing to suppress the 
Zanzibar slave traffic, 201. 255, 256 Conclusion as to the necessity of compensating

the slave trade should no longer be sent to the agent, 220-224. 260-262. 
Very injurious effect of the refusal of the Treasury to pay about 1,500/. a year towards 
the Zanzibar agency ; necessity, however, of some compensation being also paid to the 
Sultan for the suppression of the slave traffic, 221-232. 242-256. 277. 281 Circum 
stance (d the Imperial Government now paying more than 3,000/. a year in respect of

regards liberated slaves, but in time by the withdrawal of the squadron, if compensation 
be"paid for the suppression of the traffic, 234. 248-252. 283. 
Expected objection by the Government of India to pay an increased sum towards the 
expenses of the squadron, 257-259 Large portion of the time of the agent at Zanzibar
