(PUBLISHED IN THE TIIIKB.)

OMSK, 13th February.

Confirmatory particulars show that the royal executions as they were carried out were a wholesale butchery. The Tsar, the Tsarina, the Tgarevitch, and four princesses, a doctor, and a servant were tried hi a small cellar beneath an Ekaterinburg residence. As soon as sentence was prpnourjced the members of the revolutionary tribunal produced revolvers and ruthlessly slew the royalties, who were kneeling and praying. The bodies were carted off in a motor lorry and buried in an unknown spot. The Grand 'Duchess Anastasia was not killed outrighft and -wag battered to death with clubs. The next day the tribunal took the Grand Duchess Serge and Princes Jojin ans Igpr, ,-jnd other relatives of the royalties, and threw them down the shaft of a disused mine, bombs being hurled after thenj. Some were drowned and spirie were killed. Prince Igor's body wag subsequently found, and the wounds had bqeii bouiid with a shirt, indicating that he had survived for some time.
