Further Details OF the Riots In Poland-The
Cossacks and Their Weapons.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 10.-A dispatch
from Lodz, in Poland. whore thirty thou
sand strikers have been rioting and making
violent attacks on the Jewish quarter. says
that hundreds of rioters have been arrested
and taken to Warsaw under military es-
cort. The town continues in state of
siege. Nobody Is allowed in the streets be-
tween P. NJ. and A. NJ. Business is sus-
pended. and many manufacturers have be-
come bankrupt
Additional details received from the scene
of the disorders show that q terrible state
of affairs prevailed at LODI. The dispatch
says that the rioters. besides footing
and demOlishing valuable property. set ire
to the buildings and that only the zeal dis
played by the fire brigadee prevented the
whole town from being burned. The
united force of tho military and police
were powerless against the mob, and were
unable to prevent 1t from Offering violence
to the manufacturers of the place. the
book-keepers employ ed in the factories and
the Jewish residents. These persons were
mercilessly felled and stabbed by the des-
perate rioters. Ten of them were killed
outright. and hundred were badly in
jured. and had to be carried to the hospital.
The blood-thirsty ferooity displayed bv
the strikers in their ATTACKS on those who
had incurred their enmity is shown by an
incident which was witnessed during the
heat of the rioting. A Jew had been As.
salled by a crowd of strikers. He had been
beaten and stabbed. and flung PROSTATE to
the ground. and was In Imminent danger
of having the life crushed out of him.
A policeman attracted to the scene by
the bowling OF the mob. and the
cries for help uttered by the victim. forced
his way through the maddened crowd sur
rounding the unfortunate Jew and at
tempted to save the man from their fury.
He succeeded in lifting the jews bleeding
form from the ground and with his arms
about him tried TO shield him from the
blows aimed at him from every side. The
rioters were not content to murder
their victim. but even after death they
vented their hate in mutilating the
corpse in horrible manner. The Cossacks
and other soldiers who wero sent to LOdz
to quell the disturbances appeared to take
delight IN the scenes of blood which were
visible on every hand, and took no trouble
to avert the fate of the assailed jews. All
the rioters were maddened with drink. and
in the work of destruction of life and prop
ertv in which they engaged they seemed
to have lost control of themselves. The
newspapers do not contain q word In refer
ence TO the riots. on account of the strict
press censorship which is exercised. A
large force of soldiers has been detailed
for duty in LODI. and all the proDrietOrs
of hotels and factories in the town will
have TO pay heavily for military protec-
tion.
The Cossacks WELD knouts with iron
balls attached. and In expressing the dis
orders they are causing b)Oodshed every
where with these formidable weapons.
Hundreds of the strikers have been i'm
prIsoned in the citadel. General GOurko,
Governor of Warsaw, which 10 seventy five
miles from Lodz, wired orders 10 the sol
diers to take the most stringent measures
to put an end to the acts of lawlessness.
and TO one OF his messages he added the
significant sentence: Don't spare your
cartridges"
