Fall Of the Fortress at Any Time.
Situation South Of Mukden Shows
Little Change, Occasional Artillery
Firing Along the Line Breaks the
Monotony.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 14.-The condi-
ton of affairs at Port Arthur causes
the deepest gloom to pervade the Off,
cial circles of the capital. It has been
fondly believed here that the fortress
was impregnable, and as Stoessel sue
ceeded in holding out from month to
month this belief has increased.
The methods adopted by the enemy
of digging trenches to approach the
fort has caused not little disappoint-
ment here, as it makes any mining
plans that Stoessel had laid abortive.
It is almost a waste of good powder
to explode mines under handful of
soldiers engaged in tunneling, and in
sense works for the benefit of the
enemy, for though they suffer the loss
of possibly a score of men the re-
sultiIg explosion accomplishes for
them an amount of tunneling that
would otherwise consume weeks.
The city is fairly well, prepared to
hear of the fall Of the fortress, and it
will not come as any surprise. It will
only bring more sharply to the fore
the question, what is to become OF
the Baltic f1eet?"
1t is certain that if this ill-starred
armada does not blow itself up, it will
reach the vicinity of Port Arthur
about the LIST of February, and with
the fortress in the hands of the Jap.
anese there will be no port for it but
Vladivostok, and at that time it will
be ice locked.

Depression of the nervous system at

That tired feeling which is the nat
