GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
4th December, 1914.
·22././5
The In continuation of my confidential despatch of the 19th November, I have the honour to report that the Government has maintained, pending the receipt of definite instructions from you, towards Turkish subjects here, with two exceptions, a policy of non- interference subject to the conditions mentioned in the concluding
paragraph.
2.
It was, however, found necessary to intern two Turkish subjects, one a Syrian named Rozrook Oudish, and one an ex-Admiral of the Turkish Navy and a political exile from his country named Mahomed Pasha Kamal. The former who carries on a petty business in cheap jewelry,
was detected transmitting anti-British literature through the Post Office to a Manila newspaper. The latter who is of advanced age had little means of support, as he had by his anti-British sympathies alienated the local Mahomedan community who had hitherto contributed towards his maintenance. He was also suspected of anti-British propaganda among Mahomedans. In both cases both I and the General
that Officer Commanding considered internment was necessary.
Mahomed Pasha Kamal has now, however, been pronounced
to be in failing health and the General Officer Commanding has asked
me to deport him as he is not a fit subject for internment. I am endeavouring to make arrangements accordingly.

I may add that there are no Egyptians or Cypriotes
domiciled in this Colony.
