THE WAR.
THE CAPTURE OF METRE HILL. Russian Deserters shot. Russian reserves shot all their comrades who fled and tried to evade the Japanese attack at Metre Hill. Lieutenant-General Sir William Nicholson, the British attache with the Japanese forces at Port Arthur, characterises the capture of Metre Hill as an unprecedented feat. ALL RUSSIAN SHIPS DISABLED. General Nogi reports that four battleships, two cruisers, a gunboat, and a torpedo store-ship have been completely disabled. Further bombardment of the ships is unnecessary. The besiegers are shelling the town heavily. The Russian smaller craft at Port Arthur have been warned not to shelter behind the hospital ships.
