Toxic, Jan. "a report received to-day from

the figures of the surrendered garrison, and init
mates that the force handed over to the Japan

As previously reported. the transfer OF the

OF non-combatants.
one hundred saddle horses and 1870 draught
horses were surrendered.
japanese naval officers have not examined the
sunken Russian warships at Port Arthur, and
therefore nothing is known OF their condition

The Russians blocked the drydock ingeniously.
They towed the transport Amur inside the
dock, blew her up so that she partly turned

stroyed the dock gate. The Russians surren-
dered possession Of the dockyard and other
naval property yesterday, and turned over to
the Japanese ten small steamers available for
immediate use. All the other craft had previous
