No. 147.
Mr. Marling to Sir Edivard Grey.— (Received June 27.)
(Telegraphic.) Tehiun, June 27, 1908.
MY telegram of to-day. > , . _ r / *
I have been asked by Minister for Foreign Affairs what view I took of the
Shah’s Proclamation. I expressed my personal opinion that, if elections for new
Assembly were postponed for three months, His Majesty s Government would not
consider that pledges to respect the Constitution given to me by the Shah had been
fulfilled. .
Ala-es-Sultaneh replied that the Shah had yesterday received a deputation of
eighteen Deputies and some merchants, and that these persons had expressed complete
satisfaction with the declarations and assurances of His Majesty. Two Proclamations
of amnesty had already been issued by the Shah, and His Majesty had no intention of
executing any more people. Two executions only had taken place, and the two
Mujteheds were being conveyed with all due respect to Kerbela.
Several applications for admittance to the Legation have been made to-day, and
the apprehensions of the popular party do not appear to have been allayed by the
Shah’s Proclamations.
No. 148. >
Mr. Marling to Sir Edward Grey .— (Received June 27.)
(Telegraphic*) Tehran, June 27, 1908.
GUARDS round His Majesty’s Legation. Your telegram of the 25th instant.
Minister for Foreign Affairs, on whom I impressed the very serious view taken
by His Majesty’s Government of the insult offered to His Majesty’s Legation by the
placing of troops round it, has promised to give an apology in writing.
No. 149.
Sir Edward Grey to Mr. O'Beirne.
(Telegraphic.) Foreign Office, June 27, 1908*
M. ISVOLSHY should be informed that the Zil has appealed to us (see
Mr. Mailing’s telegram of the 26th June). You should inform his Excellency that
We should like to obtain the co-operation of the Russian Government in any action
We may take, and inquire whether a representation to the effect that the Zil should
be allowed to leave Persia whilst retaining his properties would receive their support.
You should lay stress on the fact that it is our earnest desire that further
complications may be avoided, and that it appears to us that the best means of
obtaining this object is the absence of the Zil from Persia. We think that the
Russian Government would join us in affording the Zil some measure of protection
in conjunction with the proposed condition, especially in view of the fact that we
lent them our co-operation in their wish to discountenance intrigues against the present
Shah.
No. 150.
Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Q> Beirnc.
(Telegraphic.) ^ Foreign Office, June 27, 190S,
YOU should inform Ministet for Foreign Affairs that, since there would now be
considerable dilficulty in following the exact precedent set last Christmas, I am seiidlilg
instructions to His Majesty’s Charge d’Affaires to consult with the Russian Minister
as to how the joint representations recently made by the two Powers may most
effectively be brought to public notice.
