Report of the Recent OutrageS in
Siberia Officially Compiled.

compiled but it is shown only to privi-
legged personages. The report shows
a considerable disagreement with

of the facts of the case There is evidence
that Russian oficialdom has been instruct
ed to ignore the published reports as a
mere repetition of Nihilist calumnies.

respondent applied for informa-
ton declined to say anything except that
the account of the outrages were full of ex-
aggerations inconsistencies and c3ntradic-
tions. The administrator of prisons says
that the American delegates would make
great mistake if they attempt
ed to breach the Siberian scandals
at the international prison congress. He said

strictly adhered to, and no reference to po-
litical prisoners in Siberia or elsewhere
would be permitted The administrator,

lished accounts of Russian prisons. said the
latters modus operandi was bound to prove
unfavorable to any country, because he de-
rived his information from dissatisfied in
mates of the prisons. The administrator
admitted that the prisons Werecrowded,
but he said the government was
doing its best to effect needed
reforms. The official interviewed regarding
the report of the outrages practically adj
rnitted that the facts are as reported, but he
commended that KEENAN, and others ethereal
lied nihilist women outof all recognitionin
their books. Every ordinary traveller in ST.
