Provided with a cable dispatch of latroductloa from George Keanan, the celebrated Siberian traveler, tae London agent of the Asso ciated Press called on Serglus Stepnlak, the well known writer upon Russian political aad social condltlohs,and asked him whether ho could give any informa tion In regard to the dutrages in tho po litical prison at Kara In Kaatern Siberia, rumor of which had recently reached the public press by way of the Russian colony In Paris. Mr. Stepnlak replied that the reports already published gave only a hint of the horriblo tragedy enacted at Kara. Perfectly trustworthy Information, he aald, had beea received In ojpher letter that have succeeded In getting to Pari and London from exile In Eastern SI berla. These letter, which were Both Ing but meager aerap of paper, told the tory of tho recent horror only In It main outline, but ono who know nbout the Siberian prison life did not need a circumstantial recital to understand tho cruelty of discipline and the agony of suffering of which this horror wa the culmination. According to tha latest information Madame Slhlda did not commit suicide, aa tho earliest reports stated. She died from the effect of a cruel flogging to which she was subjected. The flogging took place on Wednesday, November 6. It ws continued till tinder the brutal blow tha unhappy victim lostconwlous ncs and lay aa one dead. The poor woman never revived from the terrible shock, but continued to grow weakor and weaker until Friday, when death came to hor relief. The newa of her snicking official murder produced widespread dismay among her fellow prisoners and three of them, unable to longer boar their wretched fate, com mitted aulcldo by taking poison. How thoy obtained tho poison Is not known, but probably they had longhad It tn their possession and wero keeping it as a last resort. Tho names of thu women wero Mario Kaliuhnaya, Maria Paoloona Karalefskava and Nadexhda SmlmlL. akaya. Marie Kaliuhnaya wa arrested la 1884, being then a girl of eighteen, on a charge of disloyalty. Her father was a merchant at Odessa. During her Im prisonment every moans was tried In vain to extort from her a confession Im plicating hor friends. At last Colonel Katanskl, a gendarmo officer, brought to her a skillfully forged statement purporting to bo tho confession of her fellow conspirators and promising Im munity If she also confessed. Mario fell Into tho trap, confessed and hor con fession was used against her friends, who wero sentenced to penal servitude. When sho learned that thoy had made no confession, but had boon convicted on hnr testimony alone, she procured a re volver, and on August 31, called on Col onel Katanskl and fired at him, wound ing him slightly In ono ear. For this attempted assassination sho waa con demned by court martial at Odessa Sep tember 10, 1884, and sentenced to twenty years' penal servltudo. Maria Paoloona Karalefskaya waa a married laiby. about ttilrty-fivn years of age, daughter of a woll known landed proprietor In tho south of Russia, Paul Yoroutsof, and sister of Basil Vorotitsof, ono of thn best known political econ omists in Russia. Sho Joined a secret Circle Which was surnrlaml anil Kanliir.., by the pollen In February, 1870, and sonionceu w inirieon year-, penal servitude, with exilo to Siberia for Ufa and deprivation of all civil rights. Her husband, though not pres ent was sent by administrative process 1,000 miles from tho mines to which she waa aent Tho separation drovo her Insane and abo was put In a straight WCkot In 1881 Sho was alloarna tn Inla her husband In tho hope of restoring ner reason, wno recovered, but a new Governor separated thorn again and ahe waa returned to tho Kara mines. Nadeihda Smlmltskaya was thirty three years old and a student In a womaa'a college. She was aent to the Kara mines for Itteva years with peaal servitude. Shortly after the aulclde of the three womea a brother of Marie Kalushnaya, also a political prlsoaer, died auddealy. It i not definitely known aa yet wheth er he, too died by poison, or whether his death was the result of overpower ing grief oa lea-alng of the death of hla aistor. Another exile named Bobokov com mitted sulclds rather than submit ta the cruel humiliation aad euferiagof a hog ging. Rebokov was a aalvwrslty stu dent aad took part la some public demoastratloaa af th atadeaU whka waa displeasing to the authorities. Ha was thereupoa ordered ia make hla abode at Pirtega, a amall -Hllaga tn tha province of Archaagelthe northernmost of Murepeaa Russia. Free there he at tempted ta make hla escape and for this offense he was celled to tha mines ef Eastern Siberia. The ffgiagot Mme. Slhlda occurred aaderordsre Issued by Ueateaaat-Oea-oral Baroa Kosff, the Ooverner-Oeneral of (he proviaoa ef the Ameur, in which tha Kara prison Is situated. These or ders directed that the aeeret edict of March, lees, aigaed by Oalhlae Vrsskl, Director-Geaeral of the prisons for the Empire, should be uafllachlngty laforred. Thla edict waa to the effect that the po litical coavicta should be treated by pris on, eatciat la precisely the same manner asarimlaslseoademaed ferceaamoa law offenses.

The political -artaoacre ef Kara, Mr. Stepnlak aald, had la aesaa way learned that the political exiles Imprisoned at Bagaallea had also beea subjected to cruel ffeggtaga.

THE SIBERIAN HORROR. Farther Particular Aggrsvwto, tha Awful' ARMr. Paiii. Feb. 15. Further particulars, of tho Siberian horror havo boon re ceived, and show that the cruelties wore worae than at first reported. It now appears that Mme. Sihtda's younger sister, sixteen years old, went to Siberia to look after hor comfort Arriving there, sho had the misfortune, to please tho eye of the director of tho prison. She was detained by him upon a trumped-up charge of conniving at Mme. Slhlda' attempted escape, and became a victim of bin brutality. She was subjected to such atrocious treat ment a to cause her death soon after. Mme. Slhlda, indignant and terror stricken by this awful event vehemently denounced thn outrage. Sho attracted tho attention of tho director, who then approached her with tho same Insults, he had heaped upon her sister. Tho monstrous revenge of tho director In having hnr publicly flogged followed, and thla punishment waa accompanied by Inhuman incidents which probably had more to do In driving her to suicide than tho exposure to which sho had been subjected. Tho revolt in tho mntn prison is con firmed, and it is now definitely known that the number killed amounted to-forty-one. Upon learning the particular and realising the universal protest and violent fooling the case would arouse, tho Cxar dispatched an officer to replace tho director and ordered that official to report at St. Petersburg.
