Dalny, Liao-Tung peninsula, presum-
ably to render more difficult a Japa-
nese landing at that point.
4:30 p. m--Later kilograms re-
ceived here indicate that the whole
Of Port Dalny has been destroyed by
the Russians.
Over 5000, 900 had been expended
on the harbor system before the end
of 1902, and it was estimated that

does not in any way represent the
total cost of the erection of this great
commercial port, which, with Port
leased by the Chinese government to
Russia in 1898.
Nearly $4,000 men were employed
| daily on the work Of constructing the
| port and town. The total population
