When the beSiegers were running
their approaches toward the fort they
encountered many hidden torpedoes
Sometimes these were exploded by the
tools in digging. After the siege it was
found that one approach lay the whole
distance between two lines of buried
torpedOes. Often during the siege shells
and bullets which plOWed the ground

up muskets from the field, and the
party charged down the parapet, driv-

been preceded by the most horrible
stories of the manner in which Saka-
ron had been depressing the agrarian
disorder. He COrrallei peasants with
COssacks and had them beaten with
the soldiers whips.
SakarOn had pursued the system
adopted by Prince John Obolenskv,
former governor general Of Finland.

vicinity of Kharakoff several years
ago when the prince caused the peas
ants to be whipped by relays of Cos
sacks and compelled them in turn -0

the villages of the province of Sara

He came with Cossacks and artu-
lery. The peasants were surrounded
by COssacks and Sakhar0ff addressed
them demanding that they surrender
their leaders. The village elder re-
