British Accused of Brutality.

New York, Oct. d23. A London
Times special to the New York Times
says:
Referring to the fresh outbreak of
Anglophobia in Vienna, cores
pondent of the Austrian Capital
quotes the especially influential Cath
olic organ, The Vaterland, which
publishes an article headed Lord
Kitche. as Hangman. :" 1t says
the commmander-inschief OF the
British forces in South Africa, in
despair of being able to conquer the
Beers by honest war, has for long
time had recourse to brutality. His
bloodthirstyness was formerly re-
strained by the British government.
but it now appears that free hand
has been given to him.
The Vaterland goes on to say that
the announcement that Command
ant General Botha will meet violence
by reprisals will convince all that the
Beers are not intimidated, but only
exasperated by Lord Kitchener's in.
humanity. The sanguinary seed sown
by the British Commander will pro-
duce a harvest of blood and none
can blame the Boer leaders if they
have recourse to a terrible tribution.

SHOT BY THE TURKS
MACEDONIAN FUGITivES KILLED
ON THE FRONTIER.
One of Them. Brother of Mme- TsiIka.
Miss Stones Companion-Thc Bulgarian
Government Prepared to Act Vigorously
If. Sufficient Proof Is forthcoming
Turkish Methods Brutal.

London, Oct. 24.-The Morning
Leader publishes the following COM
munication, dated Saturday, Oct, 49,
from Sofia:
'On the frontier near Grossbeloo,
yesterday, five fugitives from Banista,
Macedonia, among them brother of
Nine. Tsilka, Miss Stones companion,
were shot dead by Turkish frontier
guards while eneavoring to cross into
Bulgarian territory. United States
Consul General Dickinson, believing
that they were members of the Amer
ican Mission church, has demanded
an official inquiry. Great brutality
exists in the district between Banista
and the frontier, Turkish officials
have arrested over 200 residents OF
Bulgarian nationality and subjected
them to torture in order to wiring
from them information as to Miss
Stones whereabouts. Several of them
died under torture. The Bulgarian
authorities, likewise, worried over
the affair, are continuously arresting
fugitives from Macedonia, and this
causes bad blood"
1T is reported from Sofia," says
the Vienna correspondent of the Daily
Mail, "that United States Consul
General Dickinson has received intel
ligence from shepherds that Miss
tone was seen al. IJakooua, in Turkish
territory, about two hours journey
from the Bulgarian frontier. -
Dr. Dickinson thinks that if the
original Macedonian promoters of the
abduction can be arrested, the brig,
ands who acted under their, orders
would accept smaller ransom. AS
the Bulgarian government are pre-.
pared to act vigorously if sufficient
proof is forthcoming, says the Vienns
correspondent of the Times, this
method of proceeding may perhaps
prove successful.

SENTENCED TO BE HANGED.
A Case Of Unusual Deprayity In the Army In
the Philippine Islands.

Washington, Oct. 22.-George A.
Raymond, an American and formerly
private in the Forty-frst Volunteer
infantry, was tried by military commits
sion in the Philippines a short time
ago on triple charge of murder, rape
and robbery and sentenced to be
hanged. The records in this case. of
unusual depravity, have just been
received at the war department.
Upon the muster out of the Forty-frst
regiment, Ramona went to the prov
ince of Pampanga and endeavored to
organize band of outlaws among
his former comrades. May 7, while he
was riding along road near the bar
rio of San Jose with Henry Bohn, who
had also been private in the Forty
first Infantry, and with whom he
assumed to be on friendly relations,
Raymond treacherously turned on his
companion and killed him with his
revolver and then emptied the dead
mans pockets. Two days afterward
in company with two privates of the
Forty-frst, Raymond, garbed in tn,
uniform of United States Army off
Ger, entered the premises of a peace
full native and robbed him of saddles
brides and three horses. On tn,
night OF May 9 Raymond forced hi
way into the home of respectabl,
native girl and assaulted her. II
reviewing this case and approvin,
the sentence of death, General Chaffe
said: "The depravity and dangerou
criminal propesities of the accused, in
volving in the short space of thre
days the robbery of helpless native
the licentious violation of respect
able girl and the treacherous assassi
nation of comrade from motives @
pure avariciousness, calls for but on
fitting punishment. )"

FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Government Relief Is Necessary In Five More
Suffering Districts.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 22.-Acting
under additional information from
the governor of the province of Sa-
mara, the minister of the interior has
officially proclaimed famine condi-
tions in five more districts in this
province. This means that the bad
harvest has already made itself SO
keenly felt that a special medical and
relief organization is deemed neces-
sary for these districts. It is likely
that the list will be added to from
time to time during the winter.
The minister also published today
detailed report about the relief given
to seven Siberian districts. Forty
thousand roubles were assigned. The
present indications are that little in
formation about the famine will be
published in Russian papers which is
not given out by the minister of the
interior. The papers have been given
to understand that incorrect informa-
tion or "colored" articles about the
famine will not be tolerated, and the
Russian editors know when they have
been spoken to. The bad harvests in
portions of Siberia last year and this
year has had the effect OF turning a
part of the tide of Siberian migra
tlon back toward Russia. According
to an official source, II, 745 emigrants
and Oily, 72l men whom the peasant
communes sent to spy out the land
went to Siberia between January
and September II, and 10, 1888 emf
grants and 1853 ENJOYS returned.
In addition to famine circum-
stance that deters emigration and
occasions the return of many is the
exhaustion of available farm land.
1t is fact that is not sufficiently un-
derstood abroad that portions OF ST.
IBERIA are already fully occupied.
This is true of nearly all good and
conveniently accessible agricultural
land in. West Siberia. Recent settlers
have been assigned lands distant from
the railroad or navigable rivers, or
have received forest and marsh lands
which it would not pay them to till
under present conditions. With
additional railways, with new markets
| for West Siberian grain in the East
Siberian, Mongolian and Manchurian
mining regions, and with better
modes of .cultivating the ground there
will be room for more settlers in West
Siberia, but the plain truth is that
there is little room for peasants there
now

posted on the church doors, warning
the people to prepare to take the field
in January. Some of the friendly
natives were informed by bolomen
that various bands of armed natives
would shortly concentrate in the vi.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Mine Superintendents Dwelling Partially De.
stroyed by Miscreant

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. pa das-
tardly attempt to blow up the house
of Reese Morgan, superintendent of
the Murray mine, and kill himself and
family was made last night Mr..
Morgan's home was on Grant street,
one of the residence thoroughfares of
this city. He had just opened the
gate to get into the house when a
terrific explosion occurred which
nearly knocked him off his feet.
When he was able to collect himself
he saw that portion of his dwelling
had been wrecked. A further inves-
tigation showed that the whole rear
portion of the house had been torn
away by the explosion. The general
supposition is that some mine en-
ploye who formerly worked for Mr..
Morgan, and who imagined he
had grievance, is at the bottom
of the plot.
