ACTIVITY IN CASPIAN AREA
REASON FOR BRITISH WITH DEAWAL FROM ENZELLI.
DELHI, 24th May. The seizure of Baku proved the prelude to a. renewal of Bolshevik activities in the Caspian area. The object of the attack, on E-nzelli on 98th May was the recovery of some ships of the Russian volunteer army which had made their way thither from Baku and been •interned. The Soviet commander demanded the ships, declaring that he had no designs against, the British, and promised to i-etire h\yn\ Enzelli when' he- hud achieved his purpose. In order-to avoid a. collision the British forces were withdrawn, pending negotiations between the British and the Soviet commander. All'was quiet in Resht and Enzelli on 20th May, but further activity was reported in the direction of Astara, a Caspian seaport on the Persian frontier, a hundred miles north of Enzelli.
