Russia Demands Instant Dismissal Of
 American Treasurer General.

reheran, Nov 29.-RUssias ultima tun has been delivered to Persia. Rus sa demands the instant disruissai of w. Morgan Shuster, the American treasurer general of Persia. whose ad- mInistration of the financial depart ment has resulted in the present com plications. and indemnity for the ex- penses incurred in sending Russian troops to Persia
 If the dismissal of MT. Shuster Is hot carried out within 48 hours, Rus sian troops will march on Teheran and the additional expenses will be added TO the ind en1nity- It is said confi- dentIy that the national council will not comply with the demands. Mir. Sinister said in an interview that the cancellation of his contract rested en- tirely with the Persian national coun- cil.
 Whatever may be the feeling of the Persian people in the present affair and 1t is said to favor Shuster-Per- sia is helpless before the Russian Cos sacks. In some quarters it is expected that Russias action which is looked upon as an affront to American pres tige. will bs resented by the United States government because MT. Shus- ter was recommended for the position he holds by the state department at Washington.
