Turkish prison at Uskub, Macedonia. The building 'contains 149 cells, occupied by 18.1 prisoners, or over twelve to a cell. The unfortu nate victims are sent there to be confined from ong to ten years each, but so great are their sufferings from barbarities by the keepers and a total disregard of sanitary laws that one scarcely outlives five years.

In one cell two and a half yards square the correspondent discovered nearly a score of poor wretches panting for air and starving, and having in the way of food nothing but bread and water. The greater number were stark naked and chained by the ankles and wrists.

There are also underground cells reserved for the worst prisoners, in order to force confessions, where poisonous ants are kept in a box add fifty of them placed at one time on the naked body of the prisoner whom it is desired to tor ture. It is also customary to chain the men all day in the scorching sun in such a way that they

PARIS; August 2nd.
