may be a fact, but it will also provide cause for friction between the Swedes and the
Governor which the former’s brains and tact may be insufficient k> overcome.

Consul received two telegraphic applications from certain persons.in Rafsinjan ask

the petitioners should refer to the Persian Authorities as the matter in no way con-

Muhtasham after telegraph

addressed himself to him direct. Mr. Lecofire replied that he disbursed to the Gov

of Bakhtiari sowars. All other expenditure he supervised himself personally.

Mare was also laid up as the result of an excessive indulgence in Christmas fare.
Both officers have since recovered. Captain Oertingren was removed from the
Church Missionary Society Hospital and brought up to the Consulate, where he now
is, on December 29th.
