Berlin, June 25.-The local An
tigers special dispatch from Teheran,
dated Wednesday midnight, says:
THE bombardment here today
lasted for an hour and a half. AS
was the case yesterday, bombs were
thrown and the Cossacks brought up
two guns and fired upon the buildings
at close range. The house Of Zahir-
Ed-Dowleh Is In ruins, the interior
being entirely demolished. Looters
who entered after the bombardment
smashed everything they could lay
their hands on.
"The Persian soldiers were partici-
pants In the plundering and the
storming OF houses, the object Of
which In many cases was simply to
give an excuse for looting.
Everywhere throughout the city
today mobs were fighting over the
plumber, and the Cossacks had the
hardest task to drive them out Of the
streets. Eventually the Crossacks sue
ceeded In this, and toward evening
when quiet had been partially re-
stored, the shah ordered the bazars to
reopen otherwise they would be bonn
barded.
"The heat Is terrific and the air is
pestilential, many dead horses still
lying in front of the Parliament
building and probably the corpses Of
men under the ruins.
"Phe diplomatic corps announce
that state Of siege has been pro-
claimed. The situation is serious, for
although the people hitherto have re-
spected Europeans, 1t is feared that
lives Of foreigners will not be safe
for long. Doubtless further bonn
bardments will resume soon. Many
refugees have fled to the British lega-
ion, and the shah, II is stated, is In
dignant that the right Of asylum has
been accorded them there. The Co.'S
sacks guarded the entrances to the
