cause m. considering that the question was put
seriouslv. thew replied in the affirmative ana sgneu
@ declaration accordingly ...,on,.
They mad probably forgotten the clrspms'an0 ?
when about fortnight ago, they received ~ p1ss
summons 70 report themselves at Pesetu within three
davs there 10 be enlisted into the insurgent ranks
Az thew did not obey this summons thoy received =
communication from Warsaw, informing them .ns'
thew were condemned to death. The communlcation
vas ,tamped with device consisting oil destn
bead and q coil of rope.
Espionage is punished with unparalleled severity
by the insurgents, and the secrecy OF those VINO
know their movements, or have any kno"leuBe Vi
their movements, 10 put to the severett test
A detachment, numbering about 3oO insurgents,
wss overtaken in the vicinity OF konln, but, mol
wishing 10 give battle, the former retreated
In order TO render 1t impossible for the Russians
10 trace them, they followed tortuous route, ana
having met a Jewish leter-carrier, they made MN
swe,r by the Ten Commandments that he w0uld
not diyulge in what direction they had proceedeu,
and then allowed him to pass on unmolested.
But afterward, mistrusting the Jews good latn,
two men of the detachment, dressed In Cossack uni
forms rode hastily after him to put 1t to the tee;
They overlook the jew ia a neghboring village aud
asked him if he had met with any nsurgents on the
road He answered No! They then took him 70
pubc.house and offered him 100 silyertrubles If he
would tell them where the insurgents were encamPed,
but the jew again declared bic ignorance in the iuos
positive terms 49,,
The landlord, however, Pole by birth, having
overheard the conversation, aud being unable 10
withstand the temptation, offered to lead the sup
posed Cossacks to tie camp Of the insurgents: oh
the arrival Of tho party there the landlord was s
hanged BY order of the insurgent leader, aud IOV
rubies were given to the Jewish etter-carrler us q
reward for his honesty and secrecy.
WARSAW, May G.-Afars in this city are daily
assuming more critical character. The Marquis
Wioloposki appears TO have ost health and energy.
The purely military rule recently introduced has
thrown the Marquis completely in the background,
and no doubt 10 entertained here that the lmperial
Government a. ST. Petersburg will also set MIN
aside after having awaited itself to tue utmost oil
his services.
In the presence OF the Russian Army, and the
rapid extension Of tho insurrectionary movement IN
Poland and Lithuanis, the so-called " W eiSsen
conservative party lie steadily dying out 1ha'
which all the revolutionary propaganda ana tne ~,
creating exsrtons Of the clergy, together with ~
years Of unparalleled oppresioD, have failed 10 BRING
10 maturity, cannot but be brought to climax by
the n,onstrous system OF oppression now pursued.
The taxes, at the rate of from TO 10 per cent on
ysarly incomes, are duly collected in accordance
with orders Issued by the Select Revolutionary
Committee. On the other hand, strict watch Ii
kept 10 prevent any infringement OF the revolution
airy order prohibiting The payment OF taxes to the
Government.
