Vienna, March 2S.-According to tele-

and Pudesti have been captured by the
peasants, who took the places by assault
and pillaged and devastated them.
The attack on Misaleni, Roumania, was
continuous, the peasants persistently as
saulting the town. The troops have thus
far been unable to drive back the peas
ants and many have been killed or wound
ed on both sides. A letter has reached the
Israelite region from Poduealie, Rou-
mania, stating that every Jewish building
there has been destroyed and that great
many Jews and their wives and children
have been injured. The peasants who at
tackled the place were melted by speeches
delivered by a teacher belonging to one
of the public schools, who urged the eX-
pulsion of all Jews from the farms and
residences occupied by Jewish tenants.
Cacona, Bosia aud Paprilkani, Roumania,
are reported to have been completely de-
stroyed by a band of 1000 peasants Only
the buildings where the inhabitants
placed cruiclnx between lighted candles
in the windows were spared.
News was received here from Budapest
this afternoon that the Twelfth Austrian
corps, which Is stationed in Transylyania,

ready to march to the Roumanian from
