4 YOUNG LADY LASHED.
Shameful Treatment Melted at In.
tanCe of Military Authorities.

s<i'N' VI -'i'''sAy as"s'"'a'sN'-
st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.-Intense
popular indignation has been created
here by the brutal treatment ol Mile
Smirnoff, a refined young lady, at
the hands of crack chevalier guards.
While a squadron of these guardsmen
were passing along Neyesky Mile
Smirnoff, who was. accompanied by
another young lady, remarked: "They
are as gay as if they had captured
Port Arthur" Pedestrians hearing
the remark repeated it and quite a
crowd collected and Joined in the
cavalrymen suddenly wheeled his
squadron and gave command to
charge with drawn whips. The troops
then charged the crowd laying about
them right and left. Mile Smirnof
and her companion, who in the mean
| time had passed on down a side stree
were pursued. They tried to escape
into doorway, but were caught
They were forced to enter a cab and
We're driven to the guards barracks,
where the young ladies were taken
before Colonel Stenbackforner.
The latter was disposed to turn
Mile Smirnoff over to the police, but
other officers interfered and the girl
was finally taken to the courtyard,
where troops in the presence of two
officers administered to her twenty
seven lashes with their whips. The
girls clothing was cut as if by knives
or by wire by thongs of the whips,
and her flesh was horribly lacerated.
