The Teheran correspondent of the Times says in Wednes- day's

paper that Russia has sent 800 troops and ten guns to Khoi. When a Russian consulate was recently founded at Khoi, which is north-west of Tabriz, the Russian Government announced that 200 troops would be sent as a guard. According to the correspondent the Turks maintain that the occupation of Khoi turns their left flank in Asia Minor, and declare that their acquiescence in the occupation is impossible. In Thursday's paper the same correspondent says that the Russian troops at Kazvin number 4,000 and that the Russians will probably take over the town.
