SEVERE FIGHTING IN THE NORTH.
[N.Z. Press Association.—Copyright.]
Interviews with Stoessel and his officers represent that the real reason for surrender was the low state of the ammunition, that no Russian warships were sunk except by Japanese guns, and that the mutiny at the close of the siege was so serious that the lives of the officers wvre seriously endangered. With regard to the main armies a severe engagement is reported, in which a Russian column narrowly escaped the consequences of being outflanked. It is announced that forty thousand of Nogi's troops have nlready reached Oyania. The Baltic squadrons at Madagascar have effected a junction, and are on the point of sailing for the Far East. The United States Government has invited the Powers to intervene to "assist in inducing"' the belligerents to respect the agreement limiting the field of operations to the disputed territory.
