§ MR. STUART SAMUEL (Tower Hamlets, Whitechapel)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is able to give the House any information respecting the massacre of Jews at Kischineff in Russia.
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Lord CRANBORNE, Rochester)According to information received by His Majesty's Government disturbances arose in the district of Kischineff shortly before the Greek Easter, from the murder of a Christian lad, which was wrongly attributed to the Jews. The latter retaliated on their assailants. The result was a general attack on the Jews by a mob on Easter Sunday and Monday, in which it is believed that about 100 Jews lost their lives and many more were wounded.
