CzAR WILL, 7EAHT TO END
Says He Won't Gave Up While There S
5 a Soldier Left. -3 49,

Special to The Journal. ..-
London. Sept. 23.-Dispatches from
St. Petersburg say that any attempt at
intervention on the part of a foreign
power will be met by a distinct snub on
the part Of Russia. The car is deter
mined to fight to the end Of Russia IS
resources. The czar, speaking with
great solemnity, recently said:
standing, and there is a rouble left in
the imperial treasury, I shall continue
this. war against the Japanese, who
forced me to take up arms. There are
no disasters in the field that can move
me from this resolution ~ "
The czar's utteranee is believed to
have been made deliberately and with
the intention of having it repeated in
England for the information Of the 9TH
er powers.
A Toxic dispatch says: "The fail
ure to capture Port Arthur, coupled
with the rigid suppression Of all news
concerning the siege, lis responsible for
growing discontent' here. r Practically
no information regarding the situation
has been given to the. public for a
month past: Several newspapers have
nisheed by soldiers who have returned
on sick leave. The people are bitterly
disappointed at the failure to take the
fortress by storm. According to SOL
diers from General Nogi's army, the
Japanese troops are. undergoing great
hardships. Many Of them have been
blinded by lime thrown down from the
Russian trenches during engagements
at close quarters. Nogi's instructions
are to wear out the garrison by con-
slant attacks, principally at night.
