Gaenaa Kknhak, ., ., JA'. SWwaary IS, laM. itv Dear Mr. JTmnem : I hasten te send yen the details that we received here nsierday, from Siberia: of Uie tragedy at Kars with regard te which I wrote yen briefly a few day age. We leera from a trustworthy source that, upon the suggestion or Initiative ef Barea Kprff, governor general of the Ameer provinces, it waa decided sems months age te put all the political offenders st the mine ef Kara upon the footing or com mon criminal convicts, see Mere than balr of the male political con victs proposed st once te commit suicide, but, as sU would net agree te this, it waa finally decided te await definite action en the part of the prison authorities. The men gave notice, however, that they would kill themselves st the first attempt te carry the order Inte execution. , Baren Kerff paid a visit of Inspection te the women's political prison atUst-Kara, and entered the cell where Madame Kaval . aksya wss lying sick in bed. It is a strictly enforced rule In all Russian prisons, that when an officer and especially an emr of high rank eaters a cell every prisoner shall rise te his or her feet and stand la the sttltuds of attention. Madame Ksvslsksya, who is In an advanced stage of prison con sumption, neither rose from her bed 'nor noticed in any way the governor geaeral'a entrance. Baren Korff.lgnerant, perhaps, of the unfortunate woman's physical condi tion, asked her roughly whether she did net knew who had entered the cell and why she did net get, up. Madame Kaval akaya replied, wearily: "It makes ae difference te me new whether you are the governor general or only a turnkey; I am unable te get up." ' Baren Kerff, Irritated apparently by what seemed te him Impertinence, ordered that Mme. Kavalskaya be taken te the -Yerkhnl Udlnak prison and there, be putt Inte solitary confinement This order waa executed by Maalukeff, the commanding officer of the Ust-Kara prison, with great brutality. Mme. Kaval Jcayadeclaredher seir unable te walk, and aba waa thereupon taken out or her bed bv two soldiers, car ried down te the bank or the, 8M- river IlMfelmlirAe'small. bes', for 1 transportation te the Yerkhnl TJallMk prison. , , j. - The weman'e companions held CemrB.'": dent Maalukeff resnenstblaand annatl te tbe higher authorities for the letter's rdV mevsL When their appeal wm disregarded thev nreceeded te enforce It bv raHniefi hunger strike voluntary starvation), and a hunger strike of unheard-of ' duration. They fasted ths first tims 16 dsvs. whan at last Commandant Maalukeff tendered his', re-agnation, viae mgner suwenues re fused te accept it, and tbe hunger striks was renewed for eight dsys mere, at the end of which time the women were notified that the commandant, Maalukeff, would be removed te another pest. Tbe premised removal, however, did net take place, end again the hunger atrike waa renewed. This time it continued 22 dsys, but most of the women were kept alive, in spite of tbeir refusal te eat, by the administration of feed artificially. At the end of this terrible hunger strike only Madame SIglda and Madame Saleva were able te stand en their feet. Mme. Sigida asked for n interview with tbe commandant, and In the oeurse of It struck him in the face. Whether the blew was provoked by something thst he said te htr, or whether she intended te sacrifice herself with the hope or bettering the condition or her companions, la net known. The hun ger strikers were net aware or her Inten tion te strike the commandant, ir she bad such an intention when she left them. Madame SIglda was removed te the com mon criminal prison st Ust-Kara. aa were also Mesdamea Kalusbnaya and Smlrit abaya, and according te one account Mme. Kavalskaya. The result of the blew given by Mme. SIglda te Commandant Maalukeff was' a telegram from Governer General Kerff, directing that she be flogged. The prison surgeon made the customary examination of her, and reported that aba was net In a condition te endure the punishment. Baren Kerff was notified of the surgeon's decision snd of bis refusal te be present at tbe flogging. He thereupon telegraphed : " Carry the order Inte execution without tbe presence or tbe doctor." Mme. Sigida waa then flogged under the direction or the assistant director or tbe common criminal prisons an officer named Verbefskl. Anether letter gives thenameertbesssistant director as Bob Beb Bob refski. She died two dsys later from heart failure, and almost immediately Mas dsmes Smlrekskava, Kalutbnava and Kavalskaya poisoned themselves. Tbe ether women were se Isolated that they did net knew what had happened. When news or the terrible tragedy reached the men'a prison, socerdlng te Information furnished by the procurer, 80 of tbe male political convict took poison. Only tw of them, however, Kslucbnsya and Bobekof, died. The ethers were saved by medical treatment.- Hecker, who was living outslde the prison, in the "Free Command, " shot himself in the head, but a his pistol was a very small and cheap one, the wound was net fatal. Iu tbe words or one or the Kara political convleta, " Tbl i the beginning or the end. " Tbe governor of the province f tbe Trans-Baikal, tbe procurer, the district surgeon and two geu d' armes from Irkutsk have gene te Kara, but for mere than a week, my correspondent says, no news hss been received from there.
