Blew up Their Own Boats.

St Petersburg, May IL. 4:30 p. m.
-Viceroy Alexieff has telegraphed to
the czar announcing that the Rus
slams have blown up the docks and
piers at Port Dalny Liaotung penin-
sula, presumably to render more diff
ficult Japanese landing at that point.
Port Dalny, on Talienwan bay, on the
east coast of the Liaotung peninsula,
was intended by Russia to be the
chief commercial emporium OF its
eastern dominions. An edict provid-
ing for its construction was issued by
the Ruscsian emperor July 80, 1899,
and Port Dalny, fully equipped with
all modern improvements, docks,
warehouses and railroad facilities,
was opened to commerce in Decem-
ber, 1901. Tailenwan bay is one OF
the finest deep water harbors on the
Pacific.
II is clear of ice at all times and
large ships can enter without the aid
of pilots and sail or steam alongside
the immense docks and piers. where
cargoes can be loaded into railroad
cars and run direct for 5000 miles
into st. Petersburg. Five large piers
udu Dttu COuSliuCtSut caSh o"Pp''SN
with numerous railroad tracks and
immense warehouses and elevators.
Gas, electric lights and water and a
large breakwater was being construct
ed so that ships could lie at the piers
and load and unload regardless of
weather. Docks for foreign vessels,
steam and sail, extended between the
piers and along the shore for two
miles.
There were two irst-class dry
docks, one intended only for ocean
steamers and the other desired to &C.
commodate the largest vessels Of war
or commerce. Six million dollars had
been expended on the harbor system
before the end of 1902, and IL was es-
timated that the cost VI completing
the works would be nearly S2O.OOO.-
600. but this does not in any way rep
resent the total cost of the erection
of this great commercial port, which
with Port Arthur, was leased by the
Japanese to Russia in 1898. Nearly
25'OOO men we're employed daily on
the work of constructing the port and
town. The total population had been
estimated at about 60,0OU, mostly Chi
nese, Japanese, Koreans and Rus
slams.
