An ImprIsoned NIhiIist, in n Letter Writ
ten In Blood. Relates Story of Horrible
InIquitIes.
LONDON, Dec. S.-A Paris correspondent
forwards a second letter written in blood by
a Nihilist in the Troubletskoi fort at ST.
Petersburg. 1t describes the narrowing
treatment of prisoners, and says their food
is often moldy and sometimes putrid.
Dysentery and scurvy he says are prevalent
and the doctors are afraid to touch the pa
tients. Few medicines were prescribed,
and when ordered wero generally counter
manded The prisoners, the letters says,
rot away and exhale odOrs Of dead bodies
before life is extinct.
The number of those who go mad in con-
sequence of their sufferings Is daily increas-
ing, the madmen being strapped down and
whipped with the knout by the keepers.
Fierce yells resound Throughout the night,
asd many of the prisoners have committed
suicide. 1t is said one woman was outraged
and then poisoned.
Rats are the worst enemies of the prison
ers. A woman with her young babe was
obliged to be constantly on the watch and
fight night and day to prevent the rats from
devouriDg the child. The use of combs and
soap is forbidden, and the prisoners, espe-
cially the women, whose hair Is allowed to

TIDINGS OF THE MANIsTEE.

A Man Claiming to BE a Survivor Gives
an Account of the Loss of the Vessel.
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 8.-Mr. Carlton
has received letter from a friend who was
a passenger on the fated Manistee. "When
the boat went out" the letter says, tive en-
countered very heavy gale from the south
west, and when about twenty miles out
the boat was put about, but could not
make it. The life-boats were taken out,
but before they were launched all but one
were swept away in the storm, and
only nine persons who were on the boat
were allowed to get in. We had terrible
time. After the boat went down there was
nothing but wide expanse of water before
u.s. We rolled around on the turbulent
waves cold, wet and hungry for three days,
and one by one the waits dfopped off, death
having come to their relief. Some of them
were frozen to death, while some died from
sheer exhaustion and exposure to the wind.
Captain Mckay never left the boat, but
wrapped himself up in his heavy Overcoat
and remarked: L will never leave the boat
until the last soul is off. l am Captain Of
this boat, and IL she is coffin for anybody
she will be my coffin After the men had
left the boat the Manistee made one plunge
under the waves, and that was the last OF
her. When we left the vessel there
were the crew and ten or eleven
passengers on board, and out OF
those who started out in the boat
only three were saved and reached Hough-
ton The wreck occurred off Eagle HarbOr,
and there was no possible chance of saving
the vessel under the circumstances. At the
last, when everybody knew there was nc
hope Capt. Mckay gave his orders just as
cool and coIlectedIy as if he was on land. y
A body hoated near the shore at Pigeon
River, and frJljtless endeavOrs we're made
to secure it. 1t is supposed to be a corpse
from the Manistee, but was not identified
in any way,

yesterday morning. while the late New York

found locked, and the windows fastened
down. An ak was obtained and an opening
