British Government. Ag-ain in 1901 a German diplomatic protest was
made in London, in support of one by Turkey, on the subject of British
intervention in Kuwait. The shifting of the focus of interest in Kuwaito-
1 urkish relations in 1902 from Kuwait Bay to Khor 'Abdullah may plau
sibly be ascribed to changed advice given by Germany to Turkey in
regard to the site of the Gulf terminus of the railway. \
At the opening of the period the Russian Government were believed to ft uss i an
entertain designs of establishing a port at Kuwait, and early in 1899 hiterest in
several Armenians of Russian nationality were sent to Kuwait by the ■^ uwa ^'
Russian Consul at Baghdad, who seemed to be the chosen instrument of

1903, when the Russian cruiser " Boyarin" and the French cruiser
"Infernet " visited the port in company, the Russian Consul-General was
on board the former; but the interest of Russia in Kuwait had by that
time become platonic.
Affairs and foreign relations of Turkish 'Iraq, 1899-1905.
Affairs in Turkish 'Iraq have been anticipated in dealing with the
internal affairs of Turkey above, and the foreign relations of the province
were confined to commercial and ordinary matters.
Consular representation underwent some expansion, the most important increased
changes being made, among foreign nations, by Russia, who in 1899 estab-
lished a Vice-Consulate at Basrah, charged with the protection of French powers to
as well as of Russian interests, and in 1901 raised the status of the Russian
