Shah Loo.ens Grip on TabrIz.

The shah Of Persia has consented to an
indefinite prolongation Of the armistice
at Tabriz and the entrance OF unlimited
supplies to the city, which for a month
has been in a state of siege, defended by
5000 nationaIists, against 5000 soldiers OF
the shah. Many persons on both sides
have been killed and the inhabitants OF
the city have been reduced to ablect
want. 1t is believed that the generosity
of the shah is due to fear OF Russian in
tervention. The announcement that a
Russian expedition under Gen. Snarsky
has left Kilfa, on the frontier, to restore
order at Tabriz, has caused great uneasi-
ness among the nationalists.
