mite against the eastern section of the main

1t is probable that the next attack will be
simultaneously directed against the east and
west faces of the fortress. in an endeavor to dt-
vide and weaken the resistance of the defenders

firm the report that General Kondratchenko has
been killed, and add that General StoesseI has

subsequently, the garrison is said to be cheer
full and resolved to continue the struggle as
long as single soldier remains. The army says
it has sufficient provisions to last until Feb
ruary. The navy possesses about one months
stores The price of food in the beleaguered
fortress is high. Beef is ia rubles a pound;
horse meat, kopecks a pound; dog meat, %
kopecks a pound; turkeys. $50 rubles apiece;
eggs, 16O rubles a hundred. Only few junks

OF Pigeon Bay will further curtail the landing of
supplies
