LOOKS DARK FOR JEWS
NEWS FROM SOUTH.
ERIN RUSSIA.
Another Kishinef Massacre Predicted
From Many Reliable Sources
Slaughter Openly Discussed.

A cabiegram from London last night says:
The following dispatch from the New
York Worlds special correspondent at
Kishineff. Southern Russia. was received
here today, AS will be seen, the dispatch
was written at Kishineff six days ago. and
was put on the wire today at Iglau. small
town in Moravia, about 100 miles northwest
Of Vienna and about 100 miles northwest Of
Kishinen In all probability a messenger
carried the dispatch across the Russian
border and mailed it for Iglau at some In
significant place. Thus the lapse Of time
between it's writing and Its publication Is
accounted for. And thus were defeated the
efforts Of the Russian government TO sup
press the important and authoritative news
the dispaach contains and to smother the
truth about the trials at Kishinen. Each
fidispatch from the Worlds special CORE
spondent has been wired from dinerent
place outside of Kishinen to throw the
Russian authorities and their spies on the
scent.

KIsHINEFF. December 10. via Iglau. De-

gloomy certainty that unless the govern

attitude. unless the expressed indignation
of the civilized world prevents another mas

Situation Grows Ominous.
Another cablegram from Kishineff says:
Everywhere the ugly scowling Of the COM
mon people grows uglier and there is an In
creasing insolence and threatening attitude
on all sides.
The feeling is universal in Kishinefr that
1t is perfectly safe to maltreat the Jews,
and what is. perhaps. worst Of all, the new
condition and danger is due to what took
place at the recent trial.
. The present feeling Of terror is based
largely on the extraordinary remarks of the
public prosecutor Dsibelli and others on the
among other things:
1T has been alleged that the massacre
was the result of a well-prepared agitation.
The victims lawyers have tried their best
to prove this, but in my opinion without
success. 1t was not plot; it was merely
the result of the Christian hatred of Jews,
largely justified and dating back to the
birth of Christ. The alleged atrocities are
improved"
Thinks Jews Require Christian Blood.
Promptly taking Dsibelrs cue, Schma-
kow. the chief lawyer for the defense read
almost the whole of the violent anti-Jewish
pamphlet which was largely answerable for
the massacre, adding without a rebuke
from the judges:
Il personally and firmly believe that the
Jews require Christian blood for their rit-
ual ceremonies. 1 possess many books
proving this question; therefore I am GER
tain the non-existence of the use of blood
is not proven. / am perfectly convinced
that the Jews held large meeting before
Easter and resolved to massacre the Chris
tians at Easter. The rising Of the people
alone prevented this, yet these carbon dare
complain Of their treatment and presume
to ask damages and to accuse these inno-
cents who merely defended themselves
against those who would have massacred
them"
The judges allowed even viler language.
and the fear of the Jews Is therefore un.
derstandable. The same symptoms are Wis.,
ible now as existed on the eve of last

does not object to Jew-baiting.
