gave only hint of the horrible tragedy
enacted at Kara. Perfectly trustworthy
information" he said, "has been re-
ceived in cipher letters, that tells the
story only in the main outlines. Full
details of the dreadful affair cannot be
long now in reaching the western world,
coming as soon after publication was
given to the Yakutsh atrocity. The
facts SO far as received are as follows:
Madame Sisada did not commit sui
eide as. the earliest reports stated, but
died from The cruel fiogging to which
she was subjected. The fiogging took
place on Wednesday, November the 9th,
and it was continued until. under the
brutal blows, the unhappy victim lost
consciousness and lay as one dead. Tue
news Of her shocking murder produced
wide sprea dismay and anguish among
her female fellow prisoners, and three of
them were unable longer to bear their
wreJched fate and committed suicide by
poison. The names of the wnnaan were
Marie kaluyhnave, Marya Poalona,
Karelts Kaya and Nedezhsda Smvinith-
kaya Marie Kaluyhnaya was arrested
in 1884, when a girl of Is, on charge of
disloyalty. Every mears was tried to
extort a confession, duplicating friends,
but they were futile until Colenel Kal-
anski brought her forged statement,
purporting to be a confession Of one of
her fellow conspirators and promising
impunity. Maria fell into the trap, con-
fessed and her confession was used
against her friends, who were sentenced
to penal servitude. When she learned
the deception, she procured revolver
and tried to kill Kalanski. For this she
was sentenced to twenty years of penal
servitude, with exile to Siberia for life
for belonging to 10 q secret circle.
Her husband was sent thousands of
miles away from the mines to which she
was sent and the separation drove her
insane. In 1881 she was allowed to join
her husband with hope OF restoring
her reason. She recovered, but the new
government separated them again, and
she was returned to the Kara miner.
Nedezhsda .Smvinithkaya was thirty
three years old and student in the wo-
mems college. She was sentenced to the
Kara mines for fifteen years with penal
servitude. Shortly after the suicide If
the three women, a brother Of Mary
Kaluyhnaya, also a political prisoner,
died suddenly. Another exile named Bo-
tokov committed suicide rather than SUBJ
NIT to the cruel. humiliation of fiogging.
The flogging of Madame Sigada oc
CURED under the orders issued by Lieu
tenant General Kroff, governor general
of the province OF Amour, in which Ka-
ra prison is situated. These orders di-
rected that the secret edict of March
1888, signed by Galkinevaski. director
general Of the prisons for the empire,
should be unflinchingly enforced. This
edict was to the effect that all political
convicts should be treated by prison Off
cials IN precisely the same manner as
criminals condemned for common law
offences. Ia what particular way Ma
dame Sigada transgressed the prison
rules, is not clearly explained, but fog
ging sensitive and cultured woman to
death. for any lack of conformity to pris
on regulations, was attrocious. Step
inak thought it would impress the west
ern world with profound horror Po-
Iitical exiles imprisoned at Saghalien
also have been subjected to cruel fog
ging. They were constantly in dread
of similar torture to that inflicted upon
Madame Sigida.
