Apprehension Felt

London, December 26.-The proclamation sof martial law at Teheran following the dismissal of w. Morgan Sinister by the Persian cabinet and the fragmentary re- ports received as to a bloody massacre by Russian soldiers at Resht, are caus- ing serious apprehensions here. Accord ing to latest adyices the main trouble occurred last Sunday when victims al Resht are said to have numbered 50O in cluding some women and children. Direct dispatches from Teheran make no refer ence to these serious casualties and re. port from the Russian consul at that point through the Associated Press states that order is now restored, al though he is preparing for further out breaks
 The strategic p1 it aI ! brig, 5ot, mlfe. to the northwest of Feherdn, is another center of constant and serious collisions between Russian and Persian elements.
 The small force of Russians that has been stationed there for some time has recently been reinforced. The Russian troops have come into contact on several occasions with the inhabitants and one dispatch received here says that the Rus sian artillery swept the streets while an other through Russian sources says that a condition of anarchy exists, even the banks being without adequate military guard to protect their funds.
 The latter is evidently a suggestion on the part of the Russians that a strong military force is essential to safeguard vested property interests in Persia and as giving an explanation for the decisive effect of force by Cossacks at : various points.

St. Petersburg, December 26-A tele- gram from Tabriz says that the total loss of the Russians, killed and severely wounded, in the recent fighting in that city. is about 100. Several bodies of Rus sian soldiers have been found partly buried.
 The director of the Persian department of the Russian foreign office in an inter- view today said the government was con vinced that the Persian government was not concerned in the anti-Russan out break at Tabriz or elsewhere Those re, sponsible were principally Armenians an criminals.
 The Russian consul general at Tab' has telegraphed today to the Russian foreign office vigorous denial of the charges of murder and outrage which have been launched against the Russian troops by the Persian authorities. The consul general says: q protest against the reports on the troops; they nave treated the inhabitants with humanity notwithstanding the atrocities wrecked by the Persians on our wounded sol ders and the mutilation of our killed. If innocent persons in isolation have suffered it could only have been during the bom- bardment of the houses in the vicinity of our camp from which our soldiers were fired on"
