LETTER REPUDIATED.
LONDON, Dec. 9. Reuter's Taheran correspondent states that ment alike repudiate the translation and Ma Morgan Shuster and the Persian Govern- dissemination of the letter to the Times which is declared to be full of mis-statements and obviously calculated to incite the Persians against Russia.
The newspaper Civilisatim, published at Tebeing, acknowledges the transition and circulation broadcast throughout Persia of the latter."
(Note-The Times in an article on Nor. 11th, replied to the letter of, Mr Shuster, the American Treasurer-General, which has been canand so much commotion. It says that it published his letter reluctantly, not ed much owing to say fear of its effect upon informed public opinion, as to concern for its effect upon the Treasurer-General's Times points out that Anglo-Russian inter- own position and niuence in Taberan. The
ference amounts to control of guardiane over a minor, and says that Mr Shuster ignores the fact that Fersin is not really an indepen- dent country in the fall meaning of the word. It agrees that some Russian authorities con nived at the x-Shah's return, but is firmly pereunded that the Foreign Office in St. Petersburg acted most loyally towards Britain and Persia. The paper controverts other statements of Mr Shuster sa evidently based upon statements of Nationalists with whom Mr Shuster bas, thrown in his lot.-ED. 0.30]
