every reason tobelieve that Port Arthur
is to be abandoned TO the enemy, but
before that is attempted the sinking of
the ships will be undertaken as in the

The story, although believed to be ex-

to the effect that the Russian commander
has called upon the people to sacrifice
themselves for their country by shedding
the last drop of their blood in case the
