Chargé Eddy to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]
American Embassy,
St. Petersburg, November 25, 1905.

(Mr. Eddy reports that about 100 Jews were killed and wounded in Warsaw; that great destitution prevails among the poorer classes, but that Jews have suffered no more than Christians. Bread and provisions to the value of 10,000 rubles are being distributed daily. As far as known no Jews have been killed in the district of Batum. Seven Jews were killed and 25 wounded in the Riga district, and little or no destitution prevails there. Suffering and destitution at Odessa are great; 560 Jews were killed and 2,000 are in the hospitals.)
