Financial Agent who was driving with M. Von Kaver escaped unhurt to the
“ Idareh-i-Maliyeh ” a short distance from the spot where the incident occurred.
The fact that the murder was committed in the immediate vicinity of the
“ German Consulate ” has given rise to widespread suspicion that it was com
mitted by some person or persons in German employ. There are some people who
seek to attribute it (1) to the “ Democrats ” or (2) to the family of the late Qarib
Khan.
26. Towards evening on 19th a letter was received by His Britannic Majesty’s
Consul-General from the Officer Commanding the local Gendarmerie force placing
that force at the disposal of the Consulate in case of need and notifying that Gen
darmes were patrolling the town to maintain order. These patrols have been
maintained throughout the week and guns placed at certain points in the town.
27. On the afternoon of 20th May large crowds of townspeople flocked out to
the cemetery of Takht-i-Pulad to witness the promised arrival of a Zeppelin laden
j with sugar, the non-appearance of which has diminished German prestige. On the
same date there was a marked influx of villagers at the shrine of Haroun-i-Yelayat.
28. Despite the police notice of 26th May regarding shooting there has been
some firing at nights. On the night of l-2nd June several shots were fired in the
vicinity of the Imperial Bank of Persia garden. On the night of 2-3rd June two
shots were fired quite close to the British Consulate-General and again on the
night of 3-4th. On the 5th June about 7 p.m. just when Captain Gfeerup, who
called on Mr. Grahame in answer to a letter regarding these cases of firing was sit
ting in the Consulate garden, three or four shots were fired close behind the wall
of the Consmate-General. On the night of ll-12th June however several shots
were fired in the vicinity of the Bank garden and the British Consulate-General.
Again between 8 and 10 p.m. on the 13th June there was considerable firing
near the river m the vicinity of the bridge (Chahar Bagh).

The explanations so far given have been to the effect that these ca-ses of firing
have been traced to drunken men or dependents of the Governor-General or the
Germans.
29. On the afternoon of 2nd June, the Ispahan Clergy, some merchants and
notables were summoned to the Telegraph Office for a conversation on the wire
with Am-ed-Dowleh and the Farman Farma, the object of the Ministers—as would
appear—being to impress more particularly on the Clergy the necessity for the ob
servance of the strictest neutrality. I. a ter in the evening the Bakhtiari Khans
were summoned to the Telegraph Office, where they remained in conversation with
