Chefoo, Sept 1S.-(9:SO D. mD-Ac. cording to Lieutenant Prince Radziyil of the Russian army, who reached here today from Port Arthur. bearing dis- patches from Lieutenant-GeneralS Stoes- SCI ,the commander-in-c chief of the forces of the Russian stronghold, to general Kuropatkin, the temper of the oelligerents at Port Arthur has reached an absolutely merciless stage.
 Prince Radzivil served with the Brit lsh Tn the Boer war, and says that un- til he became aware of the state of ahairs at Port Arthur, he had no idea that war could be so horrible
 It was set forth in these dispatches some weeks ago that serious suspicious were entertained by both beIligerents < that the other was misusing the Red Cross nag These suspicious have been corroborated by commission of vari- ous acts by the soldiers of both armies until now even flags Ot truce or sur render are not respected by either side. Prince RadztVil declares that the men of both armies are absolutely, venon,- ous in their antagonism. Lieutenant General Stoessel has addressed his qar- rison. saving that the present mood of the Japanese indicates clearly the pa cessity of resisting them to the last drop of Russian blood because if ths Japanese soldiers entered the fortrcs. 1t undoubtedly would be impossible for their officers to control them and pre- vent massacre. For this reason. Lieutenant-General Stoessel Is makinp no objection to civilians leaving Dor. Arthur.
