NEW STORIES OF SIBERIAN PRISON HORRORS. A Consumptive Woman Taken from Her Bed and Carried Hu net reds of Miles in a Sledge in Midwinter —The Victim Expires Before 'leaching Her Destination. Loudon cable: Recent reports of outrages in prisons of Siberia have had the effect of increasing the severity with which the national prisoners are treated, for to them the reports are attributed. A gentleman who has just returned from Siberia brings the report of another horrible outrage, of which he says he was an eye-witness. It took place in the prison at Kara, where the previous outrages occurred which have aroused Europe. In this case the victim was also a woman. The governor visited the prison, found her among those suspected of having given information, and ordered her instant removal to Vlrkniondusk. The poor creature was wasted by consumption and unable to rise from her bed. By the orders of the Governor she was dragged, half-naked, by the soldiers into the court-yard of the prison, thrust into a sledge, and driven off at a gallop in the dead of winter. The woman died before arriving at her destination. A demand has been made for the removal of Inspector Bedroiskey for wantonly shooting political prisoners under convoy.
