Up TO the present time no Christian

The principal hotels are fun of the

There was a Veritable reign of terror
on Oct. 81. After the emperor's mani
festo granting g constitution To Russia
had been published the Jews made the
Russians furious with rage by making
q prominent display of red flags, tram
ping on a portrait of the emperor and
tearing down the emblem of the crown.
Late in the afternoon there was fight
ing in the outskirts OF the town and the
massacre Of Jews commenced and
lasted during the night of Nov. l. All
Jews found in the streets We're severe
~ beaten and many were killed in their
shops. which were ruthlessIy pillaged.
In the poorer Jewish quarters on the
outskirts of the town whole streets
were destroyed, the soldiers apparently
looking on. Crowds of Workmen, row.
dies. women and children laden with all
kinds of loot walked openly through
the streets quarreliing over the spoils
Bombs were thrown in various parts of
the town. Later at night patrols Of
soldiers and Cossacks restored some
semblance OF order.
Streets Were Unsafe.
The pillaging was continued yester-
day and there was heavy firing all over
the town. Nobody was safe in the
streets. People carrying arms who
were caught by the troops were shot
at sight. The shutters of all houses
were ordered closed and people detect
ed shooting from windows were
promptly shot The soldiers used ma
chine guns to clear away the crowd
from the vicinity of the port. In fact.
there was indiscriminate shooting ey~
erywhere in town.
Firing is still going on as this dis

standstill. Provisions are still obtain
able at greatly enhanced prices. The
gas and waterworks are working. 1t

wounded
Similar serious reports reach Odessa
from most of the other towns in south
ern Russia.
Bodies of police escorted by squads
of infantry are placarding the city with
notices from the mayor appealing TO
all peaceable citizens TO remain indoors
unless the most urgent necessity takes
them out
Bitter determinations.
The determinations of the different
factions I'm regard TO the responsibility
for the outbreak are bitter. Official
circles blame the Jews, but the liberal
leaders declare the disorders were en-
gendered in ST. Petersburg.
A leading general in an interview to-
day argued that the disturbances were
the result of the behavior of the Jews
who rudely shocked Russian patriotism
by the manner in which they celebrated
on Tuesday the publication OF the im-
perial manifesto.
They abused their new-found free
dom, he declared, by tearing down
the national flag. hosting revolution
airy banners, insulting the emperor and
Boosting that they alone gave Russia
freedom
On the other hand, the liberal leaders
say that the simultaneous manner in
which the disorders broke out in many
