TORNADOES GALORE Establishment o f Bank Part of Game to Get Control o f Persia, Berlin, Oct. 9. — The efforts of Ger many to establish a bauk in Persia are only a part of a very deep game being played uow for the ultimate coutrol of the Persian gulf by the German govern ment. The statement that this bank will be purely commercial is one that causes amusemeut in diplomatic circles in Europe, where it is felt that the for eign office will have to take euergetic et* os to prevent the bauk beiug estab lished. Germau influence in Teherau is very strong and cautiously but surely Ger many is pushing its policy forward. First came the buiiding of the German railroad to the shores of the gulf, and the intrigue that has since been taking place to secure the shah’ s permission to make Koweit the terminus. Then only a month or two ago came the establishment of a German line ol steamships to trade aloug the gulf, a line heavily subsidised by the Germau government. Now comes a proposal for the estab lishment of the bauk. There is good authority for the statement that the In dian government is watching every move very carefully, but the English foreign office so far has remained su pine. LEAGUE FORM ED A T HAVANA.
