BERLIN, Nov. 3.-The report that the
garrison of Metz refused to surrender is not
correct. There was some dissatisfaction
caused by the delay in The Prussians of not
taking possession and settling the details
for over IL to 20 hours after they were mott
fed of the willingness of the garrison to
surrender. There IS no denying
that the soldiers protested in q
measures against surrender, contendipg that
they could hold out at least four weeks
longer, with provisions which were still
unconsumed. Soldiers, citizens and others
charge Dazaine with treachery. The sur
rendered garrison will be transported to
Germany, the Prussians refusing TO parole
them.
