Hebrew Girls the Victims of the Lust of the Czar's Soldiers. (By Cable to The Times.) SOdessa, Sept. 3. A reign of tov ror prevails here today. Defense less Jews have been massacred on all sides, , Women and children were I shot down while kneeling in prayer over the graves of friends and rela tives. Hebrew Rids were dragged from their homes and seized upon as th'J prey of the czar's raiders. This frightful record is believed to be only the beginning of one of the most atrocious attacks ever made by the dreaded "black hundred." It is kuown that, the police are acting In league with the Jewish persecut ors. They stood by while women aad 'children were being fired upon and made no effort to interfere. In the frightful raids condoned by the czar's constabulary, it Is declared that the black hundred are plan ning even more revolting attacks. In more massacres "which are plot ted the Cossacks are to give aid.' They will assist the Union of Rus sian people in exterminating the! members of the Jewish Self-defense Leagmv A ' resolution to kill the ( members of the league has been; passed by the union.- : The black hundred, began .. their massacres hero villi a wild onslaught , through the streets. Wherever Jews j were to be found they were clubbed and shot. Than the rioters pouted, yelling, into tha Jewish cemetery, where thousands of men, women and children were kneeling in prayer. They were at the graves of relatives and friends, victims of former as sassinations. Among this throng the mob burst, armed with piUol and knout, stick and sword. "Slay and Spare Not!" "Slay and spare not" was the watchword. To resist meant to In vite death, and seeking to escape the fury of thoir assailants, hundreds streamed away in all directions in the wildest panic. . A girl and a Jewish actor were BIG SHAKE UP NAVY (By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Sept. 3. The secretary of the navy, with the approval of Pres ident Roosevelt, Is preparing the most stupendous shake up In the history of the department. 11 la announced to day. Only four of the president's captains of the elghten battleships that will go from the Atlantic to the Pacific, it Is said, will make the trip. The vessels .will be commanded ly younger men, while the elders are tclvgated to shore duty, according to the plan as report ed, thus carrying out the long desired chango of advancing young men to the fighting line. The rumor has it thai the four cap tains who' will hold tbi'lr ships are: Potter, of the Veermonl; Vreeland, of the Kansas; Osterhrttis, of the Con necticut, and Walr.wrlght, of the Louisiana. Captain McCrea, of the deorgla, may be reained In command, but it Is doubtful. His date of retirement Is only six years hence. , The captains who may be sent ashore and be supplanted by the younger of ficers are: W. B. Murdoch, of the Rhode Island; Samuel T. Comly, of the ruthlessly shot down by the furious pursuers and an old man of seventy and two little four-year-old children wore beaten into insensibility. In the rush to flee, scores wen: trampled on and these crawled oil or simulated . death,'., preferring to take any chance ratlur than go to tiie hospitals which they feared would bo violated by their relentless foes. Nor wore the scones in the Jewish quarter less terrible. It was there that the rabble began. Alleging that the Jews wci j responsible for the explosion of the bomb which, a few (lays ago, caused the deaths of an artillery officer and four policemen, they started in to follow up an im aginary injury. It was stated at thj time that the officer dropped the bomb, but any pretext was enough. - Piring right and left and gather ing strength at every stop, the mob killed three and Wounded sixty ner sons before they started for the cem etery. At. every window where a Jew was Kilting a gun was levelled. Doors were broken down, windows smash ed, goods stolen and women subject ed to gross in.lignliie;!. In vain did the hunted people call on the police. The police were there but inactive spectators of the scene of pillage and cruelty. Not one raised a hand to stay the murderers or to aid their victims. No Attempt to Stop Outrages..'.'"' In the evening the mobs gathered again and the Union of Russian Peo ple passed a resolution to annihilate with the assistance of the Cossacks, the members of the Jewish Self-defense organization. As the day ndvanced and the mobs saw that they were to bo free from nil interference, the excesses in creased and only the fear of a gen eral conflagration prevented them from putting the torch to every Jew ish building in the city. By dusk there was a reign or ter ror in the Ghetto and families hid in cellars and closets, awaiting an outburst of rapine and fire. Defenseless IJecuuse Unarmed. At first the terror-stricken Jews began to seek weapons to defend themselves. This aroused the mobs to such fury that the police railed on the Jews to obey t;ie law, forbid ding them to arm themselves. Although the stricken people num ber two hundred thousand or one third of the population of the sea port,, their assailants had an easy time hunting them down owing to the law keeping them defenseless. An appeal will be made to the gov ernor, but unless the attitude of the local autocracy has changed; little can be hoped for in the way of pro tection. In the present state of the empire where the central power at St. Pe tersburg has been delegated the gov ernors with arbitrary privileges there is every indication that the enemies of the Jews will receive every en couragement to persecute and rob them.. In the evening the mobs gathered again and the Union of Russian Peo ple passed a resolution to rob the Jews. '' IN THE MRiOTENT I i I: 1,1 4.:...

Hnrber, of the Maine; John Hubbard, of the Minnesota; O. A. Merrlam, of tha Missouri, and probably Albert G. Berry and Theo dorlc Porter, of the prmored cruisers Tennessee and Washington- It is said the first intimation of the Inauguration of the new plan came as a delicately phraseJ, order to one of the captains to prepare for shore duty and that a relief from sea duty at this time was in no way f criticism on his ability as a commander. The reported change is all thnt is now being talked of among naval men. The plan, according to a high officer, Is to place all captains on. shore duty who ccjuld not expect to be advanced to rear admiralB and then serve two years before retirement and to put pounger men In command of the big ships, advance them to the grade of rear admiral and have them in the service longer time Li that grade.. The shake up Is dun to cpme off at the close of the maioeuvers off Cape Cod this month. ' CHESTER B. RVNY4N I IA I :mL hosier 15.
