HORRI LIE TALES OF CRUELTY
Particulars OF the Terrible and Tn
provoked Murders Of Cnoffend-
ing Jewish Men. Women
and Children.
Stories Of the many great maSSacreS,
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 occasioned by the
bitter condemnations Of a Mr.. kree-
shvan. editor of The Beserabiac, a
newspaper published in the province
of Beserabia. This paper, shortly af-
ter the second Holy Easter Of the
Greek Catholic church, published L
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
ince was in an 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
tortures, show that (. Russian NIB is
prepared for deyising oruelties which
would bring blush of envy to the
face Of the savage Sioux. Men, wo-
men and children we're murdered in
cold blood. Others, captured by small
parties OF the Russians, were held,
while every bone was bruken and they
we're left to die in the most frightful
agonies. Arms and legs or men and
women were broken in several places,
women were assaulted while their
husbands we're compelled to stand and
see the Russians murder them.
AS soon as the riots we're begun,
correspondents Of The Nevoste, were
sent to the scene Of the rioting, and
the stories they relate Of the mas
sacres are enough to curdle the blood
of semi-civilized Zulu. In one place,
the home of a high Jewish teacher
was entered by a small mob. The
venerable teacher, who had been dec
Grated with a medal for his work
among his people, asked the mob to
spare him to continue his work. He
was told that his life would De spared
for three roubleS. He managed to
raise this sum, and the mob took the
money, took away his cherished medal,
cut to pieces all his clothing ransacked
his home. and left him without
thing. The writer states that he was
present during the great masSacres Of
Keiff, in 1882, when the brutality Of
the Russians shocked the entire civil
lied world, but that the former riots
were child's play compared with those
now going on throughout the pro-
vince.
On April 7th Of this year, the Ne
voste sent a correspondent to the seat
of the trouble to ascertain the facts re-
garding the many maSsacres which
were then occurring without abate-
ment. ''As soon as I arrived" said
this correspondent, Il came upon
mob which was torturing an aged man.
They were heaping all kinds of indig-
mites upon him and we're torturing
him. l could not keep still. / beg

wound on my head was only a flesh
wound, and I am better. | heard
some one say, while the mob was
beating me, Stop; that man is not a
Jew. He is a Greek Catholic And
so they stopped beating me.
The writer Of this. Andre Nazarov,
is a Russian Of high order, land an ex.
cellent writer. In the same paper ap-
peared signed article by the bishop
OF the Greek Catholic church OF the
province of Kishenoy, in which he
calls upon the people Of the province to
stop their massacres and to let the
Jews abide in peace. His card, which
is printed first in The Beserablac,
whose editor started the riots, is as
follows:
Dear Editor the second day
Of our holy Easter you began a rumor
that the Jews had assaulted the
church Michael Angelsky, had broken
in the windows and had despoileti the
sanctuary. You next started a rumor
that two Greek Catholic priests bad
been murdered hy the Jews. In the
name Of the Higher Bishop of the
province of Kishenov, l say that all
these things are false.

''E. Kazakovich.'
The man Kreeshvan, after seeing
the bloody riots which had been in
cited by his attacks, is now said to be
moving every power he commands TO
put a stop to the riots, but to no
avail. He is hated by every one and
his efforts are meeting with no sue
cess.
In another paper appears an ac.
count OF the brutal murder Of an aged
Jew. He was slowly tortured TO
death, and nails was driven into his
skull, and his body cut open and stIf-
fed with feathers. His teeth were
torn out and his body otherwise mu.
tilated. This is said to be but one OF
hundreds of similar cases. The writ
