.STOESSEL ADMITS
Loss OF SHIPS
But He Says that Several Sunken
Vessels May Yet Be
Saved.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 21.-While de-
clining to give details, the admiralty
admits that Russian advices from Port
Arthur, sent by General Stoessel, sub
stantially confirmed the Japanese adj
vices Of the partial wrecking of the
Russian ships in the harbor and the
censor has been instructed to permit
the publication of the dispatches.
It is said that several Of the larger
ships and a respectable number OF tor
pedoboat destroyers are still sea-
worthy, but they are not considered a
factor in the coming fight between Ad-
miral Togo's ships and the Russian sec
ond Pacific squadron. 49,
The whole series of misfortunes that
has attended the Port Arthur squadron
is a bitter chapter in Russian naval an
nails, but since the arrival Of the latest
advices, there has been less disposition
to criticize Rear Admiral Wren s
failure to make sortie, General Stoes'
sci having decided that further defense
Of the fortress would be impossible if
the guns Of the warships and the sailors
landed, were re-embarked. Had the
ships been able to 90 out they would
have been at the mercy of the japanese
and have been sacrificed without hope
of inf1icting commensurate damage. II
the fortress is relieved it is believed
most Of the ships will be raised ano
saved.
The report that Japanese squadron
of forty vessels had already sailed tt
meet the second Pacific squadron is re
garded at the admiralty here as incor
rect and circulated for purpose. Some
reports say that eight warships ant
fifteen transports have gone to meet

MORE MEN MOBILIzED
Action Will Necessitate Relief Meas

st. Petersburg, Dec. 21.-Mobiliza-
ton of the reserves has been announced
in seven military districts. This is the
third and most extensive mobilization
of the war, and will add about 100000
men to the army in the far east.
While some Of the reserve men called
to the colors will be used to complete
the strength of the regiments going. to
the front, by far the greater portion
will be formed into reserve units to re-
place troops that have already gone to
the far east. The new mobilization will
entail additional relief measures for the
families of reserve men, which probably
will be met by increasing the credits Of
the zemstvos for this purpose.
