OF THE PACKERS-Th

unwarranted by conditions, as thou

there has been no increase of

One report. received this morning from
ST. Petersburg. contains q rumor that
the general STAFF has received d dis
patch from General StoesseI command
ing the Russian forces at the port.
which states that the prospect Of hold
ing the place has been lessened by the
fact that the Japanese have mounted
large siege guns on the Taku Mountains.
These heights overlook the fortifica-
tions From this point the destruction
cf the forts and the silencing of the guns
by the Japanese would be matter Of
far greater result than an attaci. from
the level ground.
The report adds that General StoesseI
had all along expected aid from Genera
kuropatkin. Now that the latter is hav-
ing his hands fun to the north there is
little hope Of the beleaguered garrison
at the port holding out.
