Confirmation of the reports concerning an anti-Jewish pogrom in Kishineff is contained in despatches received here from that city.
Three hundred Roumanian students who were delegates to the Jassy Congress held this week, and who were the guests of Bishop Gurie, were the perpetrators of the pogrom. Jewish passersby were badly beaten, Jewish houses were invaded, windows broken, stores looted. The army commander in Kishineff called out two regiments of infantry and cavalry. Five Roumanian students were injured by the horses of the cavalry when they refused to cease their pogrom activity. Many Jewish persons were also wounded in Kalaras, despatches received here state.
