This morning then, at 10 oclock, I sent my representative, Mr. Cairns,with a force composed of fifty Treasury gendarmes, commanded by fivePersian officers, and fifty gendarmes of the city police, commanded bythree officers. This force was placed under the direct orders of one ofmy American assistants, Mr. Merrill. I had given personally to Mr. Merrill and to the other officers strictinstructions by the terms of which they were to take possession of thegarden of Shuaus-Saltana, peaceably, if possible; if forcible oppositionwas made to the execution of the orders, they were under no circum-stances to fire the first shot, but on the contrary to allow the Cossacksto fire first upon them. Under any circumstances, they were to carryout their orders and take possession of the COMPANY OF AMNIEH, PERSIAN ROADGUARDS, WITH THEIR OFFICERS.
