II is reported that O wound received
by General Stoessel has necessitated
his confinement in hospital; that
he refused to relinquish the command
of the garrison, and that he has is
sued orders to the troops to die al
their posts rather than surrender.
1t is said that the spirit of the Rus
sian troops has been dampened by
continuous work, the lack of supplies
and the hopelessness of their ability
to make any successful defense of the
fortress.
1t is said further that many of the
render but that they are kept at their
posts by officers, who threaten them
with revolvers and that several sol
diers who were suspected of desire
to desert have been shot as warn
ing to others. The Japanese now be-
lieve that the garrison has almost
reached the limit of human endurance
Port Arthur Can Hold Out.
Insofar as the contents Of the re-
port sent by General Stoessel to EN-
peror Nicholas by the torpedo boat
destroyer Rastoropny, which craft was
sunk in the harbor of Chefoo after
accomplishing the purpose of her dash
out of Port Arthur, have come to pub
lie knowledge, it serves to indicate
that tha Russian military commander
at Port Arthur regards the crisis OF
the siege as not remote.
The report asserts that the inner
line of defences is intact; that the
damage to warships in the harbor by
Japanese shells is not great, and that
the garrison will be able to hold out
against assault for some time.
Conditions south of Mukden remain
unchanged, although there are said
TO be indications that important devel.
opments are at hand.
Japanese Receive Reinforcements.

the Japanese continue to arrive at the
rate of 1000 daily. On Nov. II Chi
nese say they saw 80 guns brought
into Dalny. The Japanese said they
had captured them, They also saw
$50 prisoners, including three officers,
brought in. Three more heavy guns

Seattle Beer Boycott Assumes New
Phase-May Cause Much
Trouble.

SEATTLE. Jan. 1.-Iharsing hin
With the selling of liquor on Sunday
three members of the Central Labor
lnion. representing themselves as a
committee from that organization
have asked to have Manager William
8. King OF the New Butler hotel, ar
rested.
This demand has been refused for
the reason that Prosecuting Attorney
Scott believes that the prosecution is
malicious.
Mr. Scott listened to the grievance
and stated that he felt certain that all
the saloons Of Seattle We're viola ting
the Sunday closing ordinance. but that
it would not do for him to make fish
of one and flesh of another.
1t is said that the action of the
Western Central Labor union was for
the purpose of making Manager King
bend in matters relating to the strike.
1t was believed that the Seattle Brew
ing company would soon give Mama
ger King the tip to settle amicably
when this prosecution was announced.
If the matter did not work smoothly
from the start. it was the intention
to prosecute all of the salOOnkeepers
handling Seattle Brewing company
