ST. Petersburg, dated January u, gives
a sad picture of the desolation and
alarm caused by the spread in the
southern provinces ofRussia at a rapid
rate.
Thousands upon thousand have died
within the last five days. The victims
when taken live only about two hours
and turn as black all over as negro.
All the physicians ordered to the care
Of the sick have died within twenty -four
hours after their arrival. The corpses
are burned and so are the houses in
which the people died. Whole towns
have been laid waste during the past
few days.
The government has placed a Gordon
OF soldiers around the infected pro-
vinces, so that the people cannot get
out and spread the disease. Any who
attempt to leave and break through the
Gordon are shot dead on the spot. All
reports OF its spread are suppressed,
but the worst Of all is that nobody can
get out of the Empire
The Austrian and German Govern.
lnents have placed double Gordon of

all persons from entering their terri
