London, Oct. 13. A St. Petersburg
telegraphs that be loams, doepito
secrecy, that tbo police have recolvod
a full confirmation from Siberia of tho reported
ewvpo of M. Do GniofT, tho famous Nihilist
con pirator, who planned and assisted
in the murder of Lieut. CoL Sudolkin, tho
chief of police, and one of his staff, nearly
throe years uga The police have traced M.
De Gaieff to Gonova, and have vainly endeavored
to wheedle tho Swiss . government into
extraditing him. Since Juno at least twonty
Siberian prisoners havo escaped, including
two cavalry ofllcors and soveral students,
some of them escaping by way of Cambodia.
The- precautions which aro obsorved
throughout Siberia aro so stringont that tho
government is persuaded that tho escapes
could not havo boon oflfecte ( without connivance
with tho prison officials. So great a
commotion has been caused by these repeated
jail deliveries that a special commission has
been sent to Siberia to inquire into tbolr
causes and rcoganlzo the entire system of
prison government. A number of high
under whose chorgo the escaped pris
oners were, have boon suspouded and some
onlclals who wure.eithor criminally negligent
or else assisted in reloosing tho prisoners,
have beeu arrested and thrown into' prison.
M. Do Onion, alios Jablonski, the Nihilist
whoso escape is rolatod above, has had an
eventful und checkered 'caroor. He had been
identified with Nihilism for many years, but
did not como prominently into uotico until
tho murder 'of Gen. StrelorikofT, at. Odessa.
