NEW YoREl, Aug. GA Russian,
Alexander KWiatkowiki, arrived
here on Monday direct from 81.
Petersburg. and brought with him
the fifst account Of The horrible
riman tragedy, which occurred
several weeks ago. He had gained
his news almost at FIST hand from a
relstive ~ one o. the victims, a
beautiful young girl, the Princes
Elena Oginska, Is years Of age,
from Prince Adam Oginska. XVII
atkowiki learned the following de-
tails:
The story begins with the exiles,
n hundred in number, who left
Esaterim0urg about the end Of
May. They hal been transported
with n steamer load q eEiles-pOli-
teal anu crimiuals-frUm Niniis
NOvgoroi TO Perm, living In irUE
cages on the deck, and were then
sent by ralroad aeross the Ural
TiJ'in.niis. twelve hours' journey,
70 Ekatarimburg, where the real
horror Of the Siberian journey be-
gan. From that plint the exiies
had 10 20 on foot all the way 20
| Thurleu, a distance Of nearly 90
miles, where a steamer wOaid Ge In
readiness 20 transport them, via the
/ TObpl and the OBJ, 20 TOmsS. where
| another ill1 milg.s wOulI have 10 be
trOdden 10y the weary eXilss until
irsutsk was reached.
The heat during the day was in-
tense, AMI for fifteen days the eNileS
were compelled TO walk
uNUER A BURNING Sun
along tie roads half foot deep In
dust. From letters received by
Prince Adam. the suilerings Of the
fr.ii, beautiful Princess, Elena, were
intense, arnusing even the sympa-
thy Of the C1-slck guards at times.
She was the youngest 81 tie gfoup
Il eNiles, but, much rs she suffered
herself she was never l,sarj n CON
plain. All neE companions were Ia
\ similar pltiI5lc condition OF ex-
naus;i0a fs1n the dr.aTy journey.
| Tncir re. wc1s swollen u such an
extent that sJme u them sat down
hy the rla isiIe aud declared Il was
utterly imp1s-l u FOR them 10 move
another step and asked permission
10 ride IN the wagons thst always
| accompany an escort OF eXiles for
the Purpose OF Transporting the sick
and women unable TO walk. They
appealed 10 the guard in vain for an
answer they were cruelty BEATEN ~
the suliiers With the stocks Of their
guns aud ordered 10 get up AMI
march on.
But at lssl, when within o5ly one
station % rhumen, I small hand Of
eSiles, dri-cn 10 despair, turned
iiercely upon their guaris and be-
gan 10 fight for their freedom. But
II was a very unequal fight, Tot
soldiers, who made the Journey with
loaded rifles, Immediately began
firing on the crowd.
THE RESULT WAS HoRRIFYISG.
The frst victim wa, The beautiful
Princes. Her head was pierced by
a bullet aud she fell dead without
uttering a word.
Sill the soldiers kept up firms
AMI out Of the small band Of q
hundred political cSilcs who lefl
Bkaterinlburs, twenty were hliol
dead AMI twelve were wounded.
As neIrly all the cxiles In the GROUP
participated IN The i'rebellion" to Z
greater or less degree, Il Is feared
that the reminder will be severely
punished, If not hanged.
The case Of the Princes Oginska
has been followed With deep interesI
in the Russian col-nies in Geneva
Paris, LONDON and here. She be-
lOnEed 10 an old and honorable
Lithuanian family, several mem
bers Of which spent the wintel
season In s.. Petersburg. How sh,
came into trouble originally l. mo-
clearly known. She was probably
connected in some way with the
societies in st. Petersburg for tn,
bringing about Of political reforms
