ne dutnOrlt1eS are StrenuOuSly
endeavoring to suppress an out
break in Warsaw, and in Odessa
nti-Jewish agitation is rife. Prop
erty losses in Siedlce will run up
several hundred thousand dollars,
and the official report is that forty
four persons were killed. Core
spondents say sixty-two, mostly
Jews, were killed. Many persons
died from thirst. The girl who
killed General Mien died with the
words, Long live the social revo-
luton for land and liberty" on her
lips. She had refused to see a
priest.
WARSAW, September 13.-The authori-
ties are suppressing every slightest attempt
to start anti-Jewish attacks On account
of the large German interests in the banks
and commerce of Warsaw German inter-
vention is feared in case of serious disorder.

ODESSA, September 13.-Anti-Jewish agi-
tation is rife Wall spaces, the sides of
houses and telegraph poles throughout this
city have been plastered with proclama-
ton issued by the Union of Russian Peo-
ple." urging patriots to combine to extermi-
nate the Jews. This action has aroused
grave apprehension among the peacefully
inclined, both Jews and Christians
1t is reported here that the Jewish town
of Koopin, in the district of Kamenetz, has
surrounding country. Some of the inhab-
itants are said to have been killed in flight.
while many perished in the flames.
Gave Her All.
ST. PETERSBURG. September I3.-"Lons
live the social revolution for land and lib
erty!" These were the last words of Zenaide
Konoplianikovo, the girl who assassinated
Gen. Min last month and who was sem
fenced to death by court-martial. They
were uttered as the rope was placed around
her neck. She refused to see a priest prior
to the execution. She mounted the scaffold
with firm steps and would not be aided. On
a photograph she sent to her sister she
wrote the words:
my life was all had to give
Not So Many Dead.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 13.-The
resumption of telegraphic communica-
ton with Siedlce has enabled the press ot
St Petersburg for the first time. to pre-
sent a picture of the conditions in the
ravaged town. AS in the case of the mas
sacre al Bialystok, later messages greatly
reduce the number of dead from those
given in early reports. The property
losses, however, from the fury and cu-
pidity of the mob and the destruction
wrought by bombardment and subse-
quent fire, are placed higher, running to
several hundred thousand dollars. Al
though it is reported officially that forty
four persons were killed, correspondents
enumerate sixty-two corpses, mostly OF
Jews, which have been gathered On the
streets, in houses and in various hospi-
tails for burial The number of corpses
buried privately or consumed in burning
buildings may add another score to this
number.
Many Die of Thirst.
A pitiful feature Of the excesses was
the death from thirst of many wounded
persons who were abandoned by their
friends in houses from which the people
were forced to flee for their lives. Fire
men are searching deserted houses for
bodies.
There Is reason to believe that this at
tack on the Jews is traceable to the MUIR
der Of an official on August p, and the
events of Saturday supplied the ne,es-
sary spark to infiame the passions of the
soldiers. This view is supported by an
article in the semi Official Russian news
paper published in Warsaw, which att
tributes the rage shown by the soldiers to
this cause. The excesses Were aggra-
waited, according to the correspondent OF
the Novoe vremya, by the weakness OF
the local governor. Engelke. who was
only temporarily in charge during
change in the governors general and who
was unable promptly to put a stop to the
disorders. which had been q long time
in preparation.
