The police have captured Pahlevak Ali of Sichan, one of the suburbs of Ispahan

but left him some time ago, and set up on his own account.

Akram. It is to be hoped that this news is true.
All roads are unsafe.
Colonel Khabaroff has received orders from Colonel Staroselski, Commanding
the Cossack Division, to send to Sultanabad two companies of infantry, each 125
strong, 2 field guns and all the artillery men of the Ispahan Brigade, 2 machine
guns and 30 troopers. This will leave only 200 men of all arms at Ispahan. The
