A report of serious anti-Jewish excesses in the city of Kishineff, capital of the province of Bessarabia, now part of Roumania, was just received here.
Kishineff, which is known for its anti-Jewish pogrom in 1905 lived through a day of panic when 300 Roumanian students attacked the Jewish quarters three times, in the morning, at noon and in the evening. Many Jews were cruelly beaten. Jewish houses were seriously injured and were taken to hospitals.
Anti-Jewish riots also took place in Kalaras, a town in the vicinity of Kishineff. The students emptied the Jewish houses, carrying all the furniture and belongings to the market place where they burned it.
Panic prevails in Kishineff, the despatch says. The government ordered two regiments, one infantry and one cavalry, to occupy the city.
