on every side, sparing in their fren-
lied cruelty neither women nor chill
dren. A correspondent who witnessed
the battle at Port Arthur, and has now
reached Hiroshima, japan, says wound
ed Japanese were found at Port Ar
thur with their heads, hands and feet
cut off and their bodies awfully mutt
lated. The Japanese artillery display
ed magnificent craftsmanship. The
Chinese Generals fed after the first
fort was taken. Had they surrendered
many Chinese lives would have been
saved. The barbarism and cruelty Of
the Chinese are indescribable. Many
Chinese were killed during the battle,
but the Japanese treat kindly those
now remaining in the city.

became heated and had to be con-
stantly flooded with water. On arriv-
