Of the Century.
HoRRI LIE TALES OF CRUELTY.
Particulars OF the Terrible and Un.
provoked Murders OF Unoffend-
Ing Jewish Men, Women
and Children.
Stories Of the many great massacrcs,
which have been occurring in Russia,
are just beginning to arrive in this
country from the newspapers OF
foreign lands. According to papers
all these bloody outbursts against the
Russian Jews were occasioncd BY the
bitter condemnations Of Il Mr.. Kree-
sllvan, editor of The Rcscrabac. n
newspaper published in the province
Of Beserabia. This paper, shortly af.
ter the second Holy Easter of the
Greek Catholic church, published a
statement TO the effect that Jewish
mob had, on the Holy Easter day, de-
spoiled the Michael Angelsky church,
one OF the most holy OF the Russian
churches. The paper also printed a
statement that two priests Of the
Greek Catholic church had been bru-
tally murdered by /, Jewish mob,
Instantly the entore Kishenov prov
1nce was In IN uproar. Small parties
OF Russians, said to be members OF the
Greek Catholic church, rose up in
arms. and the massacre OF the Jews
had begun. Some OF the individual
tOrturcS, show that Russian mub Is
prepared for devising crueltles which
would bring blush of envy to the
face of the savage Sioux. Men, wo-
men and children were murdered in
cold blood. Others, captured by small
parties Of the Russians, were held,
while every bone was broken and they
were left to die in the most frIghtful
agonicS. Arms and legs OF men and
women were broken in several places.
women were assaulted while their
husbands were compelled to stand and
see the Russians murder them.
AS soon rs the riots were begun,
correspondents Of The Nevoste, were
sent to the scene Of the rioting, and
the stories they relate of the mas

The writer Of this, Andre Nazarov,
is Russian of high order, and an ex-

or the Greek Catholic church Of the
province Of Kishcnoy, in which he
