Description
Excerpt from Korea
Port Arthur possesses a small parade-ground, ri?e range, and artillery practice-ground, torpedo-station and training reservation, which will be enlarged when the bays are opened out. There is a ?ash-light station and various schools of instruction - torpedo, gunnery, telegraphy - while the arsenals and workshops which are built around the naval basin and within the navy yards are very thoroughly equipped. These effects, however, were mainly taken over by Russia when she seized Port Arthur; their existence at the present mo ment tends to show how impossible it is to under-esti mate the advantages which Russia derives from the possession of this port, and how far-reaching are the consequences of the monstrous blunder which Lord Salisbury committed when he acquiesced in its usur panon.
