similar serious reports reach Odessa
from most OF the other towns IN

There was q veritable reign of ter
ror october 81. After the elnpercr's
manifesto had been published the Jews
made the Russians furious with rage
by making q prominent display Of red
flags, trampling on the portrait OF the
emperor and tearing down the emblem
of the crown. Late in the afternoon
there was firing in the outskirts Of town
and massacre Of Jews commenced and
lasted during the night Of November
i. All Jews found In the streets were
severely beaten and many were killed
IN their shops, which were ruthlessly
pillaged In the poorer lew quarters
on the. outskirts Of the town. whole
streets were destroyed, the soldiers ap-
parently looking on. Crowds of works
men, rowdies. women and children la
den with all kinds Of loot walked OPEN
'ly thru the streets quarreMing over
the spoils. Bombs were thrown in
various parts OF town. Late last night
patrols Of soldiers and Cossacks re-
stored some semolance Of order. Pill,
slaging continued yesterday and there
was heavy firing all over town. No
body was safe iii the streets. People
carrying arms who were caught by
troops were shot at sight. The shut
Sters Of all houses were ordered closed
ana people detected shooting from
windows were promptly shot. Soldiers
used machine guns to clear away the
crowd from the vicinity OF the port.
In fact there was indiscrimtnate
shooting everywhere in town.
Bodies Of police escorted by squads
OF infantry are placarding the city
with notices from the mayor appealing
10 all peaceable citizens to remain in
doors unless most urgent necessity
takes them out Recriminations Of diff
ferent factions In regard to response
birity for the outbreak are bitter. Of
fetal circles blame the Jews, but liber-
al leaders declare the disorders were
engineered In st. Petersburg. The lat
ter say that the simultaneous manner
In which the disorders broke out In
many towns proved they were dictated
from st. Petersburg In revenge for
concessions recently granted with the
4
object Of creating the impression that
the Russians did not desire the new
order Of things.

Kishineff says: "a horrible massacre
has occurred here. Hundreds have
been killed. All the hospitals, phar-
macies and hotels are full of wounded,
mutilated persons"
A telegram from Nicolaieff says:
.The whole town is in the hands of
bandits, who arr. devastating Jewish
houses and shops and are beating the
Jews to DEATH The authorities have
similar news from other southern
cities.
