PUZZLED PERSIANS.
DELHI, March 22. After drawing all the recent American advance, the Persian Government is now endeavouring not to disburse it, having discovered that the loan is mixed up with a concession to the Standard Oil Company in the northern oil fields, and that there are conflicting interests between the Standard Oil and AngloPersian Companies.

In consequence, a Cabinet crisis is apparently imminent.
