Barbarities at Kishineff.
A German doctor who ia assisting in the hospital at Kishineff, in Southern Russia, describes many horrible cruelties in connection with the recent anti-Jewish riots in that town. One man’s legs were sawn off and all hia teeth extracted An infant’s eyes were burned out with red-hot iron while in its mother’s arms and its father’s presence The mother was outraged, and her breast was cut off while she was trying to protect her child. Prominent Jewish financiers residing in London and Berlin are bringing pressure to bear on the Russian Government to prevent further massacres of Jews'. M. de Witte, Russian Minister of Finance, is said to have informed the Czar that a repetition of the massacres would be disastrous to Russia’s finance. The Czar has consequently ordered the suppression of Jewbaiting. Count Tolstoy and Maxima Gorky the well-known Russian novelists and social reformers, have strongly denounced the Kishineff outrages.
