By the Associated Press.
st. Petersburg, Dec. lS.-General
StoesseFs latest dispatches from Port
Arthur published today, but as given
out, do not carry the story of the
garrison's stubborn defense beyond
December 10, thus leaving a gap of at
least five days between the official
word of the military commander and
the unofficial story Of Commander
Mizzeneoff, given out at Chefoo. The
dispatches have been in the hands Of
Emperor Nicholas three days
The story of the operations as Civ
en- out, shows there has been an al
most uninterrupted assault of the
most desperate character from Nov
20 to Dec. 10, when the Japanese, af
ter losing over $4,000 men. captured
203-Meter hill, and are able from that
position TO shell the squadron in Port
Arthur roadstead. There the official
account ends, but it is explained that
the Japanese do not occupy the top
of the hill, which is still exposed to
deadly fire from Russian artillery.
