Later telegrams received here indicate .
cato that the whole of Port Dalny
has been destroyed by the Russians
Port Dalny , on Taken Wan hay on
time cast coast of the Liao Tung
peninsula , was ! intended hy Russia tc
he the chief commercial emporium of
its eastern dominions. An edict pro.
viding for its construction was issued
by the Russian emperor July 30 , 1899 :
and Port Dalny , fully equipped with
all modern improvements , docks ,
warehouses and railroad facilities ,
was opened to commerce in December ,
1901.
TaUen Wan bay Is one of the first
deep water harbors on the Pacific
coast. It is free from ice in winter
time and ships drawing thirty feet of
water can enter at low tide without
difficulty and without the aid of pilot !
can sail or steam alongside the Im
mense docks and piers , where their
cargoes can be loaded Into railroad
cars and run direct for 4,000 miles into
the city of St. Petersburg.
Five large piers had been constructed .
ed , each supplied with numerous railroad .
road tracks and immense warehouses
and elevators , gas , electric lights and
water , and a large breakwater was being .
ing constructed , so that ships could
lie at the piers and load and unload
regardless of weather. Docks for for-
eign vessels , steam and sail , extended
beyond the piers and along the shore
for two miles. There were two first-
class dry docks , one intended for or-
Binary ocean steamers and the other
designed to accommodate the largest
vessels of war or commerce.
Six million had been expended on
the harbor system before the end of
1902 , and it was estimated that the
cost of completing the works would be
nearly $20,000,000 , but this does not
In any way represent the total cost of
the erection of this great commercial
port , which , with Port Arthur , distant
about twenty miles , was leased by the
Chinese government to Russia in 1898.
Nearly 20,000 mon were employed
dally on the worls. The total population -
tlon has been estimated at about GO ;
000 , most Chinese , Japanese , Koreans
and Russians.
