He proceeded with this matter on his own, and I do not know of any reason for it. He asked me to give him soldiers to confront his disobedience and turn him back from his intentions. He said that if he was the cause of this man's disobedience, then I should be the one to investigate the truth of what happened from the judge and the officer who accompanied him. Idris Bey first tried to appease the governor, but then they realized there was no way to appease him and no benefit in doing so. So they admitted what had happened, which was that Idris Bey had received a large quantity of various types of alcohol from Mr. Ghattas, the company's employee, and from the Dongola people. This alcohol played on his mind. He then claimed that he was the governor and that Ibrahim Bey Fawzi had spent £100 on this matter for Consul Frederick, whose affairs we have already mentioned. It is necessary to compensate him by distributing it among the directorate's employees. Then, a military force must be sent to destroy Sulayman Bey's house, demolish his compound, and kill him. He began to curse and insult Ibn al-Zubayr. When Sulayman Bey heard this, he attacked the governor's soldiers, and what happened was as Idris Bey reported. This happened before Idris Bey reached the governorate center. He was then sent by an emir to negotiate with him, and during their meeting on the road, what was mentioned occurred. Following this, Idris Bey sent to Gordon a detachment of soldiers and one officer. He also sent him the documents related to the investigation. It turned out that Idris Bey had taken a bribe from those who intended to appease him earlier, and they had confessed what happened. When Idris Bey reached Khartoum, Gordon Pasha imprisoned him.
