FIRE AND CYCLONE,
Tomsk, the Capital Of West
ern Siberia, Visited by a
Fire and Cyclone.
Three-Quarters of the Build.
ing Destroyed and Hundreds
of People Perish.

ST. PETERSBURG, Special.-Horrible scenes
are reported as having occurred during the
burning of Tomsk. the capital of Western
Siberia. The place was visited simulta-
neously by confederation and a cyclone,
the result of the combined disasters being
the destruction of three-quarters of the
buildings, which were of wood, and the
loss of hundreds of lives. The cathedral,
situated in High Town, is in ashes. The
walls of the ediice in falling crushed an
adjacent hospital, burying the inmates, who
were subsequently, roasted alive. The gar
rison brutally refused to render the least
assistance in saving lives and property, on
the plea that they had enough to
do to protect the barracks and other
government buildings. They also added
that they had no time to assist worthless
exiles." The panic-stricken mob of suffer
ers huddled together in the streets, and,
firmly believing that the end of the world
had come abandoned themselves to stolid
despair. Much of the suffering might have
been averted had there been the slightest
attempt at organized relief. AS if fire and
water were not capable of inf1icting misery
enough to the unfortunate Outcasts. the
storm was followed by a sudden fall in the
temperature, and soon the devastated city
was buried beneath mantle of snow that
added singing cold to the sufferings of the
thousands Of shelterless men, women and
children.
