There are punishments prescribed by
the code OF the prison rules for every
trifling offcnse; but this is not enough
for them. and We are hourly subjected
20 insults and punishments for no Of

10 treat Us insultingly, and for every In
stance OF their not having acted with
appropriate brutality they arc severely
punished. Here is an instance. A few
days ago when, loaded with firewood.

commandant ordered the soldiers to
drag" rs. What caused him TO act this
way We can not understand. He meant
what he ordered, while the soldiers in
terpreted his command in q more Hber-
al way. How could they understand
him otherwisel We meant no resist
ance, committed no oifense, and were
actively going in the direction in which
we were to &c dragged So the soldiers
were content with pushing forward
one or the other and striking an
occasional blow. They paid dearly for
their insubordinatlon; the court-martial
sentenced them TO imprisonment
Few words moro concerning our mu-
tual friends. Misses Rousenkova and
Leshern Won Herzfeldt are here under

moved toward the end of the bench on
