From Tabriz.

London.-The news from Persia,
coming by different routes, is of a
rather confusing and conflicting ma
ture, except as indicating that Rachin
Khan still has the upper hand in Ia
briz.
According to the Daily Mail special
dispatch from Teheran, the political
side of the revolt in Tabriz for the
moment is ended, but danger stin
threatens through the possibility 3
the shah's troops being overwhelmed
and expelled from Tabriz by the revo-
lutionists. A dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph from Teheran says that per-
feet peace reigns there and Europeans
may safely venture in any part of the
city. For the time being, the dis.
patch adds, the parliamentary party
has fully accepted the turning again
to ancient customs and standards, and
Teherans' old life moves as of old.

scribing Americans.
Among other things La Patria de.

the sooner the better.
After referring to the efforts on the
part OF foreigners against the pro

corporations in Mexico. the paper
says:

eigners. We are not Boxers, but
patriots, and when we take a given
direction, we take it not against for
