Port Arthur, Sunday, Feb. 28.-Gen-
eral Stoessei, commander of the gar

directing the attention of the troops
and inhabitants to the fact that the
Japanese intend to land and seize tlEe
fortress.
The general declares the Japanese
consider the seizure of Port Arthur to
be a question of national honor, and
from their obstinate attacks and bonn
bardments of the fortress and bay he
can only conclude that the enemy will
make every effort to capture the for
tress, falling which the Japanese will
destroy the railroad and withdraw.
The enemy, however, proceeds the
general order, lis mistaken. Our
troops know and the inhabitants are
herewith informed by me, that we win
not yield. We must fight to the fin

give an order to surrender l bring
this to the notice of the less daring
and call ON all to become convinced
of the necessity of fighting to the

no way out. On three sides there is

enemy. There is no means of escape
except by fighting"
