From the New Ycrk HERALD
From the special correspondence of the
Neue Frcle Resse, of Vienna, bearing date
june 4, we translate the following statement
Botuschany,. in Doumania, which have
aroused such inten1e feeling among the
Jewish communities in Europe and America :
For considerable time past the hatred
against the Jews. resident in this place,
which has long been entertained BY the
common people of B0tuschany, has been
eliminating in petty outbreaks and reveal
ing ali the symptoms Of an approaching
storm. The gentlemen students" here,
particularly, are the claAs who seem, emu
lOus of winning laurcls by .maltreating
everybody and everything that is Jewish,
no matter what. ~ = :. $3.50 :. ...p
On Saturday, the twentyeighth of May,
about haH-pa nine p. n, these gentry as
sembled N tumultuOus thrOng, and, with
the aid of the rabble, began their .'Jew
hunt" as they call il, by, attacking and in
sulting some harmless passer-by. They next
rushed, like apack Of mad dogs let loose,
into the streets mOsfly inhabited By Jews,
and committed wild excuses. Not a win
into many Of the houses and abused every
thing that came in their way. ~
One scene bordering on utter barbarism
was witnessed by the writer of these lines.
1t took place in . small dwelling, where the
business manager, s. T., lives with his nu-
merous family. He was sitting there quietly
and peaceably when . curious crowd came
along and beat in his windows. In vain
did the poor man beseech the rabble to
spare him, reminding them that he was the
father OF tive little children, and moreover
had his aged parents living with him. They
replied to his entreaties only with curses
and derisive laughter, shouting to him:
Come out here, jew, and well drag YOU
through the streets by the beard" -
They then broke in his door with axes
and beat the poor wretch and his wife 80
fearfully that the latter lies in a hopeless
condition. Nor did they spare the father
ian aged man OF seventy or the poor old
Where, in the meantime, We're the police!
At safe distance from the scene, saying,
probably, to themselves, What don't
burn us we needn't trouble ourselves to put
out" Indeeal,, there are many who affirm
that the police were hand in glove with the
rioters. .sg.ssgf f.~s rrl-,-.,t '.
In another street were some fifty or sixty,
Jewish young men awaiting. the moment
termined To defend themselves and their
kindred. Several Of 'the better class" of
gentlemen residents, whom / shall not
name, for they are well known here as insti-
CATERS Of disorder, denounced the little
party, exclaiming: .-r . t.f. -.,.-,.s. n
What, you rascals, are you going to show
fight ID DO O. you think that you are in your
And, at a signal whistle from these gentle
men, the brave little band was surrounded
by throng of about One hundred students
and street ,pwdies. Yet there was no hand
TO hand Array, very likely because it was
easier to deal with single individuals.
The students had hardly gone away ere
the young men retired tO their dwellings,
thinking no further i'll. 81. =.
In fifteen minutes afterward the same
manOuvre was repeated that had taken
place in the other street. .
Mr.. Politzer's synagogue was rudely
abused. and a smaller house of worship al
most demolished. r!
Not even the schools were spared.
Lost rain OF, n
about half an hour after midnight, put an
end to the uprOar. ..r %
But, at eight o'clock on Sunday morning,
the dance recommended, and it was only
with the greatest difficulty that quiet could
be restored by seven o'clock in the evening.
MANY IsraeIites were severely wounded,
and it is alleged that some fell victims to
the fury of the p0pulace.
Aged men and women and little children
were pitifully cuffed and kicked III the
streets and alleys, and even stoned.
The damage by robbery is not so large as
was at first believed, but there was con-
siderable rObbing done, and a great amount
of breakage.
In the public houses the sprituous liquors,
etc, We're poured out.
Tranquility is restored for the moment,
but business is completely suspended, and
the Jewish shops will remain closed until

Botuschany is not an unimportant town
in Moldavia, not very far from the Buko-
wilma Austrian boundary line. 1t counts
from 1000 to $500 inhabitants, and has the
most frequented market of the region.
From the Ncue Freie Presse, of July ninth,
we translate some fresh details sent by
other correspondents:
For weeks past Jew hunting has been the
order of the day. The students stroll
through the public gardens by hundreds,
armed with clubs, and when they meet
lew maltreat him. When a Jewish family
sits down at any Of the tables to take some
refreshments "a shower Of stones is rainad
upon them. All this takes place, too, under
the very noses of the police. Should the
Jews complain to the latter magistrates,
whose zeal for the service goes SO far some
times that they whistle their signals vigor-
