Revolving Cruelties Perpetrated Dur
ing Slaughter of Odessa Jews.

The casualties in Odessa during
Saturdays disturbances exceed 40
and those of the preceding three days,
which have been verified, number
5000. The plundering continued early
Sunday morning in the outlying dis
tricts, but the city was relatively calm.
The latest accounts of the devasta-
ton in the Jewish quarter add horror
to the situation. Besides numerous
mills, all the bakeries, shops and near
ly 600 homes have been destroyed. The
Jews killed in every circumstance
were treated with revolving barbarity
Heads were battered with hammers,
were gouged out and ears severed, and
Ill some cases petroleum was poured
over the sick found hiding in cellars
and they were burned
1t is alleged that the police and sol
diers everywhere marched at the head
of mobs, melting them to destroy the
Jews by crying. THE Jews have
killed our emperor" and similar ex-
pressions. While the mobs were en-
gagged in the slaughter the soldiers
busted themselves stealing money
and jewels.
The police prevented any one from
arresting the hooters and hindered also
the Red Cross workers from aiding the
wounded, actually firing upon those en-
gagged in the work. A band of students
removed much of the stolen property
to the university, while they also took
twelve bodies of anti-JewiSh demon
strators, whose relatives to-day be
sieged the university, claiming the
corpses and demanding the release of
those demonstrators who were con
fined in the university They threat
ened otherwise to burn the university
and kill the professors.
