to him the tribute which it had formerly rendered to the Amir of Jabal 19 07-
Shammar, but refusing to consent to any enhancement of the same, or to
cntei into close relations with him. It was at length ascertained

was alive in confinement at Riyadh ; and his brothers Sulaiman and
Abdur Rahman were reported to have joined Ibn-Rashid.
Relations of the British Government with Central Arabia, 1900-07.
In consequence of its physical inaccessibility and economic unimport
ance, Cential Arabia has generally lain—as will be apparent
from what has preceded—almost beyond the purview of the
British and Indian Governments ; but, after the revival of the
M ahhabi power in Najd in 1900, the situation was modified in
this respect by the alliance between the Shaikh of Kuwait and Ibn-Sa'ud
and the espousal of the cause of Ibn-Rashid by the Turks.
At the beginning of 1901 the Government of India contemplated the
despatch of Muhammadan agents to obtain reliable information regarding
the political and religious conditions prevailing in Central Arabia, the
obscurity of which was a cause of hesitation in policy ; but execution of
the scheme was deferred on account of the disturbed condition of the
interior at the time.
When Ibn-Sa'ud, in May 1902, started from Kuwait to reoccupy
his ancestral capital, he addressed a letter to the British Political
Resident in the
Persian Gulf

that r 'the eyes of the benevolent British Government might be fixed on
him, and intimated that at Kuwait he had declined overtures from a
Russian official because he preferred that his relations should be with
Great Britain. The action of the Resident in not replying to this letter
was approved by the Government of India, and he was instructed that no
encouragement should be given to Ibn-Sa'ud, because the policy of the
British Government was to abstain from connection with the affairs of
Najd, especially while they remained in an unsettled state.
