NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Dispatches from kishineff and Vicinity Tell
of Horrible Atrocities-Further
Massacres Feared.

London. May Dispatches from
Odessa, Kishineff, and St. Petersburg
say that another massacre OF the Jews
is expected betw ZEN May Is and "a,
old style. which would be about June l,
OF the English calendar. There has
begun an almost general exodus OF the
Jews. Wealthy Hebrews are disposing
OF their property for whatever they
can get. Many have abandoned homes
and business rather than remain and
face the terrible slaughter which is
anticipated Many have already taken
their departure. There is a Jewish
population Of $4,000 in Kieff, and all
are affected. The agitation in kieif is
so great that the jews are in dread
OF an immediate massacre.
Another dispatch which has been re-
ceived here says: The position of the
Jews In Russia is very critical. The
terror was at first confined to the
south, but now il has spread like n
flame over the entire empire. In War
saw, LODI, Blalystock and other big
cities the Jews expect a repetition Of
the Kishineir massacre.
Fear for Cars safety.
st. Petersburg, May 1s.-Since the
awful disclosures Of the KishinefT
massacre the car is more closely
guarded by the police and the Russian
officials than at any time since he as
cended the throne. The authorities
are fearful for the ears safety. lie
IS practically in hiding. lie is said 90
be greatly shocked by the awful news.
All the reports OF the massacre have
been sent TO him and he knows the
full horror Of the atrocify.
Adds Ia the Horrors.
London, May ls.-All the news that
comes from Kischinem adds to the
horrors that have already been told
of the staying and torturing of the
Jews. The blacklist deeds of Nero's
reign, the horrible infections Of the
dark ages are not so frightful as the
atrocities visited upon the Jews of
Kischincir during the three days Of
terror
The best adyices show that as per-
sons were killed outright and that
upward Of so have since died of their
injuries. There are at least 20 more
who are likely to die. The injured
numbered about 1000, of whom many
are crippled for life. The property
loss is about $1,000, 900.
Money Is Pouring In.
The restitution following the out
break was frightful, although money
is pouring i'm from all over the world.
Even Russia shows signs OF remorse,
and is sending money TO relieve the
immediate suffering. Also has the
government awakened 10 the neces-
sity for showing its disapproval of
the massacre, and it Is reported that
500 arrests have been made.
That the government officials, il
not the government, connived at this
slaughter and persecution seems
plain Furthermore, there is internal
evidence that an organization had
been effected 10 take the utmost adj
vantage of the outbreak when ii
should occur
