ANOTHER INSTALLMENT.
The Flogging and Suicide of Siberian
Prisoners Confirmed.

CHICAGO, H., March 5.--George Kennan
has sent to the Associated Press further
written particulars of the Kara atrocities
which led to the ''hunger strike'' which
was self-inflicted by the female prisoners
The communication gives details also of
the brutal tiogging inflicted upon Madame
Sigida at a time when she was physically
unable to endure the punishment and
from which it is thought she died. 1t is
further stated in the communication that
almost Immediately afterwards Mesdames
Smiritskaia, kalusn, Naga and
kavalskagA poisoned themselves.
Thirty OF the male prisoners
took poison, but only two OF them died
Kalushner and Boulkof. Helcker shot
himself in the head. but recovered from
the pistol wound because the weapon was
small and cheap.
This is all EN- bodied in a letter written
st Paris by Russian friend Of Mr.. Ken
mans. The letter closes: In the words
of one Of the political conyjcts: This is
the beginning OF the end. The governor
of the province of the Irans-Eaikal, the
procurer the district surgeon and two
gendarme officers have gone 10 Kara, but
for more than a week my correspondent
says 10 news has been received from
there"
la his letter &c the Associated Press Mr..
kennan states that he has every reason TO
believe that his correspondent Is trust
worthy: that he received direct from the
province of the Trans Baikai the informa-
tion that he sent him. Mr. kennan says
that the journal de St. Petersburg, the
organ of the foreign Russian office, aud
the St Petersburg Noyoe Nremya, deny
the flog1Ing and the subsequent suicides,
but that these deniaIs unfortunately DO
not carry as much weight as they would
IF the Russian government had not
denied the story Of the slaughter OF politi-
cal exilef in Yakutsk last March. the story
that am now prepared 70 prove before
a committee of the international prison
association"
