GREAT DAMAGE DONE
JAP BOMBARDMENT CAUSES A
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE At
kARSAkoRSk.

Toxic, July 13.-An eyewitness of
che Japanese bombardment of Karsa-
korsk wires that the Russian forts
were silenced on July Z after the ex-
change of a very few shots. The piers,
warehouses and other buildings were
set on fire and the conhagration was
reflected by the foggy atmosphere con-
verting the sky into one mass of blood
red color. The Japanese army landed
amidst the fire, which was fast spread
ing to the forts. from the tops of which
the b%ewildered inhabitants were seen
fleeing in every direction, carrying
with them what property they could
remove. The fires were not subdued
for over forty-eight hours.
," The Russian cruiser Noyik, which
was destroyed by the Japanese at Kar.
sakorsk last August, and the ruined
town and forts are sad witnesses of
the rapidity with which destruction is
wrought in modern warfare.
