Sensational Charges Against the

CHICAGO, Feb. Cen. Nelson A.

president OF the Confederate States,
was confined there after his capture by
the Union forces. In her recently pub

votes considerable space to denuncia-

general sought out small ways in which
to insult and annoy his prisoner, such
as shocking him with brutal force, keep
ing him in yermin-infected cell, with
Withholding his clothes and linen and
making souvenirs of his possessions,
even of his hair when he had it cut.
Gen. Miles, speaking of these charges
to-day, said:

INDECENT HEBREWS.
Baron Hirsch Will Contribute to
Them s.. 500. 900.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Banker Jesse
Seligman has received from Baron
Hirsch cablegram notifying him that
the trustees of the Baron Hirsch fund in
this country may draw on him for g.
100000. to be applied to the relief of
emgrant Jews who have come here and
are destitute. the income of this sum
will be devoted to ameliorating the con-
dition of the poor Jews by giving them
homes in the fertile farming districts,
where they can make their own living.
If the trustees find it necessary to draw
on the principal of the fund they are
authorized to do so, and Baron Hlrsch
has promised to make the deficiency
good. During the past year the baron
gave an average of $4,000 month for
the relief of INDECENT Hebrews in this
country.
