large crowds who watched with inter-

MICS.
Later three cheers were accorded
Maj Schwarz for his timely fore
thought in providing the spread. The
companies then disbanded.
Maj. Schwarz who has recently been
elected to that rank. took part yester-
day for the first time as commanding
officer. His appearance was the sub
ject of favorable comment, his duties
being discharged with the easy manner

JEWS MASSACRED.
Rioters in Germany Repeat Bloody
Scenes of Kishineff-Fifty
Butchered.

Berlin, Sept 2U.-Rioters at Sasno-
witch, city in Germany, near the Rus
sian border, have perpetrated massa-
ere on the Jews which rivals in its hor-
rors the atrocities at kishineff Fifty
Jews were killed by the maddened mob
and at least 100 We're injured. The
bodies OF the slain were dismembered
and prcfaned, portions being thrown
to the dogs. The police, it is said, as
at kishineff, connived with the infuri-
ated horde. The riot occurred a week
ago. News of the outbreak evidently
has been ccessfully suppressed by the
German officials.
Sasnovitch, where the riot is report
ed to have occurred, is small city in
the province of Prison, in Germany,
near the Russian border. The popula-
ton of the place is made up of Jews,
Germans and Russians. The riots be-
gan at sunrise on Sunday one week ago
and continued until the rioters were
exhausted. Bodies of victims were dis
membered. The rioters used axes and
knives to chop off arms ana legs, the
severed members being tossec to the
dogs in the streets. In one instance, it
Is reported, the arms of a sexton of a
synagogue were twisted from his body
by his assailants, and the wounded
who were carried to hospitals were
maltreated after reaching the institu-
tons.

HOW TOGO WENT TO WAR.
Didn't Even Bid His Wife Good-Bv.
Says an American Young
Woman Guest.

Miss M. M. Carpenter returned to her
home in Dunellen, N. j., after nine
years. residence in Japan. She was a
welcome guest at the home of Admiral
Togo, and brought with her a dagger
which the younger son of the Mikado had
presented to her. She was a visitor at
the admiral's house after the opening of
hostilities with Russia, reports the New
York Times.
The admiral, Miss Carpenter says, left
his family without letting even his wife
know where he was going or what the
character of his mission was, and the ad-
miral's wife did not know of his move
ments till she saw his name in the pa
pers in connection with an early naval
engagement.
Secrecy" added Miss Carpenter,
"marks all the movements of the Japa-
nese warriors. Here in war times we
enthuse and arouse the patriotism of
the people with pageants of soldiery 60
ing to the front to do battle. But in ia
pan the soldiers are carried through the
country and the cities in locked cars,
windows closed so they cannot be heard,
and curtains drawn SO they cannot be
seen. And yet patriotism is intense ev-
erywhere. Rich and poor alike at the
first intimation that war must come even
put their most precious heirlooms in
pledge for the governments aid and con-
tributed many millions of money to tho
nations war fund"
