Nearly all the immigrants who arrived here
on Thursday night on tho British tramp steam

prohibited i'm migrants usually sent back from

The affidavits OF dozen or more Russian
Hebrews who came over on the Red Sea declare
that they were Ill treated by the ships officers
and crew and by the attendants. including
four stewards sent out by the charterers OF the
shin, and that they had insufflcient food.
Capt. w. W. Dustin and his officers say that
the immigrants were we'll treated and had
food enough. The Captain says that he had
provisions aboard to last thirty days. and that
the immigrants ate the whole stock in six
teen days.
He SAYS that when the shin was four days
out many Immigrants who had beon seasick
recovered and made raid on the galley. Some
OF them had knives. The Captain and his
crew drove the mon back, arrested two who
appeared to DO the leaders, handcuffed them.

hours as an example to other insubordnate
passengers.

OF tying another immigrant up by his wrists
to cross beam. None OF the six atlantis knew
the man who had been tied up and the reRis-
try clerks at Ellis Island could not IND him.

thrown an immigrant down Oh the deck and

missing eye appeared to confirm this story.
