WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—United States Minister Bowen, in Persia, informs the State Def’mrtmcnl that great distress pre- vails in Persia in consequence of the high price of bread. He says the prospects are | that the poor will be face to face with starvation during the entire winter. American misslonaries cannot obtain ad enough for their servants or for the schools and hospitals under their care. Bowen asks that the situation be made known to the American people, with the suggestion that contributions of money be sent by drafts on the Imperial Bank of Persia at Teheran, made payable to the order of Rev.
