Blew Up Ships and Forts.
London, Jan. 3.-The Daily Mails
correspondent with General Nogi says
the capture of Wantai involved six
hours OF the fercest fighting, while
the attacks on the forts to the south
east were carried On simultaneously.
Describing the final scenes, the CORE
spondent says:
The sla,kened fire at points In
northern and eastern forts seemed TO
show that Russian ammunition was
falling. The position was now desper-
ate. Great explosions around the forts
proclaimed that the Russians were ex-
plodtng their magazines. Flames ana
smoke In the karbor were followed By
explosion after explosion, which re-
yealed the destruction of the Russian
ships. The Russians also apparently
blew up two Of their ewn forts. The
battleship Sevastspol was blown up
and the other warships were destroyed
as thoroughly as possible The bat
tleships RetyiAaH and Poltava and the
protected cruiser Pallada caught fire."

There are a goodiy number of
