ISPAHAN.
I have received the following telegram from His Majesty’s consul-general at
Ispahan :—
“ Samsam-es-Sultaneh has begun to move small bodies of troops outside the town.
Yesterday I was informed by the llkhani, that fighting was to be expected in the neigh
bourhood of Ispahan.”
The Shah’s troops have now set out for Ispahan from Kashan. I am consequently
holding the Shah responsible for any danger to British lives in case of hostilities.

SHAH and constitution.
We have learned that the Shah proposes to appoint as Grand Vizier his uncle
Naib-es-Sultaneh, who is a most pronounced reactionary. No Cabinet which includes
Naib-es-Sultaneh will come within the requirements of our programme.
We have taken the occasion to inform the Shah that the two representatives will
seek another audience in order to receive his reply to the advice tendered by the two
Powers, unless an answer is forthcoming by the 2nd May.

TABREEZ.
With reference to my telegram of the 27th instant, I have received the following
telegram of the 28th instant from His Majesty’s consul-general:—
“ The Local Assembly yesterday asked the Shah to restore the old constitution,
informing him that the proposed arrangement on the lines of religious law was not
acceptable. Negotiations are continuing to-day at the telegraph office.
“Many foreign subjects are still anxious, and the situation in the town remains
unsatisfactory.
“ Provisions are still very short, but they are gradually coming in.”
