GARRISON'S PREPARATIONS
WASTAGE OF AMMUNITION.
(Received November 19, 2 a.m.)
London, November 18.
The Daily Telegraph's Pekin correspondent says that, according to official reports reaching the British legation, the surrender of Tsing-tau was pre-arranged.
For days before the surrender the defenders wantonly wasted their ammunition. Thirteen hundred shells were fired in a direction where there was not a living soul. The infantry fired their rifles in the air.
