TAKING OF PRZEMYSL.
WORK OF GERMAN GUNS.
FORTS REDUCED TO POWDER.
London, June 13.
Tho Lokal Anzeiger's correspondent visited Przemysl. He stated that round Fort 10, he saw piles of Russian corpses, with crows hovering' over them. Russian prisoners were employed to bury their comrades. The German siege guns reduced the concrete foundations of the fort to powder. Most of the dead bore no wounds, but died from the effects of air-pressure following the explosions.
Many of the Russian heavy guns were blown to pieces, and fragments of steel, bodies of men and of horses lay together in ghastly confusion.
