OUTRAGE IN PERSIA.
BRITISH CONSUL DEAD.
ALLIED SUBJECTS LEAVING.
(Received September 12, 3 p.m.)
Petroghad, September 11.
The British Consul-General at Ispahan, the former capital of Persia, who was wounded on the outskirts of the town a week ago, is progressing favourably.
The Vice-Consul at Shiraz, who was also shot, died afterwards.
The subjects of the allies are leaving Aspahan, in consequence of the outrage, which is attributed to Germans bribing disaffected Persians.
