STORES AT ANTWERP.
DESTROYED BY BELGIANS.
SIXTY LIGHTERS SUNK.
Paris, October 26.
As it was impossible to clear the cold stores of Antwerp before the surrender, the Belgian engineers destroyed the refrigerating machinery, leaving hundreds of thousands of carcases to putrify. They sank 60 lighters loaded with grain, blew up the lock gates at the entrance to the docks, and destroyed army stores worth four million sterling.
