The captured garrison consist on the prosent count of 131,000 men and nearly 4,000 officers. The civil pupilation, which normally numbers 50,000, has probably been reduced to about 40,000. It is estimated that fully 20,000 wore lost through casual

The result is that the line of the outer forts, which has been held until the last, is probably about 25 miles in circum ference. It becomes perfectly obvious then. that through gross incompetence, the plethora of troops shut up here was trohling the mouths to food and adding nothing to the strength of the position

They are all strung out for miles between the fortress and Lemberg, and one has to look closely at the straggling mass along the road to make out the guards at all. The prisoners are so eager to get out and to see the last of the war that they follow the instructions of thoir captors like children..
A Russian officer of high rank informe ms that, when he entered the town, hundreds of these bodies of beautiful thoroughbred horses were to be seen with half-emzed Austrian and Hungarian soldiers tearing into the bodies, their faces and hands smeared red with blood, as they devoured the raw tesh. This officer stated that even his Cossack orderly, who, as he put it, was by no weans of a delicate disposition, wept when he beheld the horrid" spectacle of half- famished men gorging themselves on raw meat.
DESTROYING THE BRUGE
engag When it became obvious that it was utterly impossible to hold out any longer the Aus- trians began destroying the thres bridges over the Ban, two passenger bridges and one railway bridge, which were blown up with enormous charges of dynamite. The exple stone broke all the windows in that part of town. The small military railway built from-the-magazines to the river's brink was torn up, and munitions and other military stores were dumped into the river; while on the forts the guns were demolished and even the rifles were rendered useless by breaking their stocks.
The Austrian Commander, General. Kus mek, then ordered the destruction of the Tailway bridge over the Wiar river, which is just outsile the town to thecast. It is reported that his own engineers advised against this action, as the destruction of this bridge would prevent the Russians from bringing in
