Aufnl Effncta of pYnamlte.

Before Port Arthur With the Third
Japanese Army, via Fusan, Dec. 15.-
The effect of the dynamite used as an
offensive weapon in the form OF hand
grenades is instanced in an appalling
manner by the condition of the dead
bodies, which are torn and unrecog-
nizable masses OF flesh and bones.
Fragments of hundreds OF killed un-
earthed from the flled-in Russian
trenches presented a scene OF awful
horror. The heavy timbers and steel
plates Of the bombproofs were torn to
splinters by shells and dynamite.
The work of removing the dead
from the slopes and crests Of 2OS-Metre
hill has been completed on the north
side. The south slopes are still COW
ered with bodies buried under the de-
. DTS OF trenches and bombproofs. The
long lines OF Japanese dead laid out
on the top Of the hill and the slopes
previous to interment presented an
awful appearance. Most of the bodies
were partially naked and horribly torn
by dynamite bombs.
Every part OF the city and harbor
Of Port Arthur is visible from 20g.
Metre Hin. The streets OF the city are
] deserted. and but few soldiers are do.
ing patrol duty. Many buildings have
been burned and others shattered. The
