Surprise is expressed at the compare

civil actions as the result of damage TO
property instituted by the Jewish suf-
ferers at Kishinev. The total number Is
said TO be fifty, whereas upward Of 1.500
houses were damaged during the two
days of pandemonium. The local Jews
think this is convincing proof that Jew
