It may be neces sary, if she does not float and right herself with the tide, to unload tho sulphite onto another scow.

How the scow sank Is a matter of mystery, as she had not been Ions from the drydock and was apparently in first class shape. Tho Canada Mam, which arrived this morning, brought In a large cargo of grain, much of which was rice. Sho will get away tomorrow with a cargo of lumber. Mrs. C.

While the garrison became thin and half starved, the mode of life of the officers in the town remained unchanged. The Cafe Sieber was constantly well filled with dilettante officers, who gossiped and played cards and billiards and led the life to which they were accustomed in Vienna. Apparently very few shade i.ny of the hardships of their men, or made any effort to relieve their conditions.

In the Hotel until the last officers had their three meals a day, with fresh meat, cigars, cigarettes, wines and every luxury, while, as a witness has informed me, their own orderlies and servants begged for a slice of STead. There is no question but the ultimate surrender was due to the fact that the garrison was on the verge of starvation, while the officers' diet was merely threatened with curtailment. Witnesses state that private soldiers were seen actually to fall on the street from lack of nourishment. The officer are reported to have retain ed their private thoroughbred riding horses until the day before the surrender, when 2000 of them were killed to prevent thern from falling into the hands of the Russians. When the Russians entered the town, hundreds of these bodies of beautiful thoroughbred horses were to be seen with half crazed Austrian and Hungarian soldiers tearing into the bodies, their faces and hands pmc red with blood, as they devoured the raw flesh.

This officer stated that even his Cossack orderly, who, as he put it, was by no means of a delicate disposition, wept when he beheld the horrid spectacle of half famished men gorging themselves on raw meat Uestrojing the Bridge. When it became obvious that It was utterly impossible to hold out any longer the Austrians began destroying the three bridges over the San, two passenger bridges and one railway bridge, which were blown up with enormous charges of dynamite. The explosion broke all the windows in that part of the town. The small military railway built from the magazines to the river's bank was torn up, and munitions and other military stores were dumped into the river; while on the form the guns were demolished and even the rifles were rendered useless by breaking their stocks. The Austrian commander.

General Kusmanek, then ordered the destruction of the railway bridge over the Wiar river, which is just outside the town to the east. It is reported that his own engineers advised against this action, as the destruction of this bridge would prevent the Russians from bringing in supplies from Lemberg by rail. As the destruction of the bridges west of the town had cut communications with the other side of the San, no military value whatever attached to the Wiar bridge. It was, however, destroyed, with the result that all the food supplies were delayed for hours in reaching the famished garrison. When the destruction was completed, the Austrians asked for parle mentalres.

Three were sent Captain Subatitch entered the town alone, and proceeded to the headquarters of General Kusmanek, who sent several officers of high rank to discuss and finally to accept tho terms of capitulation, which amounted to unconditional surrender. in This Genuine VICTOR VICTROLA CANADIAN WHO ORGANIZED BRITAIN'S MUNITION SUPPLY with 15 10 inch double sided records CHANGES IN Soldiers of Przemysl Ate Cats and Dogs, While Their Superiors Dined at Restaurants.
