London, Nov. 3.-A dispatch to the
Evening Standard from Odessa says:
The city rings with the reports OF
rifles and revolvers and occasionally
volley is fired. Every house and
tenement is bolted and barred. The
infantry, patrols are doing their duty
perfunctorily, declining to fire on the
mobs unless they themselves are at
tackled. The Cossacks are said to have
lost over 100 men by bombs and shots
from windows. Cossack patrols carry
carbines and have their fingers on the
triggers. The streets are absolutely
unsafe for civilians.
The casualties are believed to have
amounted to 5000 killed and wound
ed In the Jewish quarters bodies
still strew the streets and sidewalks.
Jewish women and children were
strangled and hacked to pieces in the
streets where the mobs gained the
upper hand. The military are now
placing 100 machine guns at various
points.
