GOVERNMENT'S EXCUSES. AMERICAN CONSUL'S DEATH. (Per Press Association—Copyright.) (Received July 26, 11.10 a.m.) TEHERAN, July 25. The Persian Government's renly to the diplomats' collective Note regarding the murder of Major Imbrie noncommittally excuses the police for not firing on the ground that it would have further infuriated the mob. Accusations have been made imputing the crime to British intrigue, but the Premier has issued a notice threatening to punish anyone spreading such a rumour calculated to create trouble between Persia and friendly nations. One hundred were arrested, including Khalessizadeto, a notorious anti-Bri-tish priest agitator, who is being deported.
