Odessa. Nov. THE latest estimate
% casualties in Odessa proper, which
are founded upon statements made py
nolice authorities, are that $500 per-
sons we're killed and 10000 were
wounded. o
In the suburbs of Moldovanka 1000
dead and wounded lay in the streets

when the authorities dug large pits In
qraveyards and buried them without
collins or regard to age or sex, simply
throwing them into hole and shovel
inc dirt upon them in order to conceal
the number of dead. In Brokhorova

The latest accounts OF the deVasIa-
ton in the Jewish quarter added nor
ror TO the situation. Besides numerous
mills all the bakery shops and nearly
500 homes have been destroyed. me
Jews killed in every instance were
treated with revolving barbarity.
Heads were crushed with hammers;
nails were driven into the bodies;
ewes were gouged out and ears were
severed. Many bodies were disem-
boweled and in some cases petroleum
was poured over the sick found hiding
in cellars, and they were burned to
death.

head of the mobs, melting them to
