to sail on has also escaped him. The
man will be cared for until his case

Bushire, Persia, Dec. 31.-The
British Government has lost no time
in sending troops to Persia. 1t was
the expressed intention Of the Gov
ernment to increase the number OF
Indian troops employed in Southern
Persia to protect the British consul
ates and the trade routes. Quick
action, however, was considered nec-
essary by the recent attack, near
Kazeroon. by Kashgati tribesmen, on
the British consul, w. A. Stuart,
while bein, escorted to his post at
Shiras. by detachment Of Indian
sowars. The British cruiser Fox ar
rived here last evening and landed
169 men Of the Indian Carnatic in
fantry. against possible contingent
cies.
Further details have been received
Of the attack on Consul Smart. The
consufs escort was engaged twice.
On the first occasion they drove off
the natives, who were cleared from
the hills. with the loss Of only one
killed and one wounded on the Brit
ish side. On the second occasion the
sowars had to fight rear guard ac-
tion for eight miles. They saved the
convoy. including a large amount of
specie. In this encounter the British
lost five men killed and ten wound
ed. Consul Smart himself was injur-
ed. but only slightly.
