> Despite the officials' assurances that prisoners are well off, the political prisoners of the Lublin castle revolted and smashed up the furnishings. The instigators are expected to be taken to the prison at the Holy Cross Mountains.

In spite of the declarations of Mr. Tuhut and of all the Polish ultra-patriots that in the prisons of Poland a "paradise" reigns for political prisoners, a revolt of political prisoners broke out in the Lublin prison (the castle), and they destroyed all the furnishings of the cells. The authorities "energetically" quelled the outbreak of the revolt, not allowing it to spread. The participants in the revolt will be transported to the prison in the Holy Cross Mountains.
