ST. Petersburg, June l8.-The EN-

allowed TO telegraph directly from the
sacked city a picture Of the scene ana

The story told by tn A. ociated
Press cc@espondeH is a dreadful one
but there are indications that he mas
been prevented by censorship from
eelatirg further details about the con
dtion of the corpses, the utter beast
iality of The mob ana the inability of
troops to cope with the eXccsses dur
ing the first days of riting.
Il is evident from dispatches the eX-
ceEses assumed the character OF a
three cornered fight between the mill
tary. mob and armed members of the
Jewish bund, who irztead of submit
ting passlvely to slaughter as their
unarmed ccreligioniSts lave done here
tofore, carried the war into the enc
mics camp and fought hravely though
without inflicting appreciable loss on
the troops, among whom no serious
casualties have been reported.
Horrible details have been sent by
the spondent of the Bourse Ga
zette who arrived in nialystok in com
pany with Deputy st. Chepkin, Satui-
day and who managed 10 send his
story by messenger Sunday afternoon.
The correspondent. who accompanied
ST. Chepkn directly 10 the hospital,
escorted by corporal's guard, says
he was utterly unnerved by the sights
he witnessed there.
Merely saying the corpses were
mutilated," the correspondent writes
fails TO descibe the awful facts. The
faces of the dead have les; all human
semblance. and the cOrpsas simply
are crushed masses of flesh and bone
soaking in blood. II Is impossible to
conceive of such bestiality. The corpse
of Teacher Apst ain lay on the grass
with his hands tied. In the face and
eyes had been hammered three inch
nails. The rioters entered his home
and after fearful outrages killed him
thus ana then murdered the res of his
family of even.
