tions. do not wait to write, but IL yOn

Horrible descriptions of slaughter
and rapine are contained in many of
the letters. A letter from KOlOras,
Russia. gives lurid description Of the
massacres which occurred there and
in Uman following the issuance Of the
Cars recent manifesto.
According to the account crowds of
brigands followed the parade which
was held in celebration of the issuance
OF the manifesto, gathered in a mob
and placing at their head a picture of
the Gar and a cross. emblem Of state
and church. made their way To the
Jewish quarter, where they at once
began their work of murder and rob-
berry. Driving number of Jewish
children into the street, they poured
kerosene on them and set fire to them,
while the mothers were obliged 10
stand by and helplessly. listen To the
agonized screams OF their little ones ms
they perished in the flames.
After making way with the children
the murderers turned their attention
to the parents and slaughtered them
without mercy. Three hundred Jews
perished at that time in Koloras, while
in Uman 1000 were killed.
