MASSACRE OF JEWS.

REVOLTING OUTRAGES. SHOCKING ILL-TREATMENT Off VICTIMS. [press association.) ST. PETERSBURG, 20th June. Terrible outrages are proved to have been committed at Bielostok. Girls were horribly mutilated under the eyes of their parents. Some Jews had both legs sawn off,, and many of the dead had nails driven into their trunkß and | heads. The troops turned their backs to avoid seeing the excesses of "hooligans," while the officers .congratulated plunderers on their merrymaking. Professor Jacobowsky heroically saved seventeen Jewish refugees by telling the "hooligans" that they must kill him before they could attack the fugitives. SOLDIERS' BARBAROUS CONDUCT., (Received June 21, 8.32 a.mj) ST. PETERSBURG, 20th June. Soldiers who took part in the massacre at Bielostock outraged, tortured, and killed a number of Jewish girls in an attic', and afterwards declared they had done what they were ordered.
