Mr. Marling to Sir Edward Grey .— (Received July 16.)
(Telegraphic.) Tehran, July 16, 1908.
MY telegram of to-day.
Fifty-four refugees have left the Legation. Twelve now remain, and these include
the four who are to return to their homes and the six who are to leave the country.
No. 200.
Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Marling.
(Telegraphic.) Foreign Office, July 16, 1908.
Z1L-ES-SULTAN.
1 approve the instructions sent by you to Acting Consul-General at Ispahan as
reported in your telegram of the 15th instant.
No. 201.
Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Marling.
(Telegraphic.) ‘ Foreign Office, July 17, 1908.
WITH reference to your telegrams of the 16th instant relative to the general
situation in Persia.
Your telegrams show clearly that the privilege of asylum in His Majesty’s
Legation is being now used not merely as a refuge in danger, but for political purposes,
As a continuance of this state of affairs or its renewal in future are highly undesirable,
you should let it be known generally that in future nobody whose life is not in danger
will be permitted to obtain asylum in the Legation.
Without forcibly expelling those “bastis” whose motives in taking refuge were of
a purely political nature, and who refuse to leave, you should endeavour to convince
them that there is nothing more to be gained by remaining, and that they had
better go.
No. 202.
Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Marling.
(Telegraphic.) Foreign Office, July 18, 1908.
YOU should, if there is reason to apprehend the taking of bast in large numbers,
keep the gates of the Legation closed.
No. 203.
Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Marling.
(Telegraphic.) Foreign Office, July 23, 1908.
SHIRAZ Consular guard.
With reference to your telegram of the 5th instant.
Guard may be maintained at its present strength for additional period of six
months, to date from the 19th ultimo, as a temporary measure.
