He Won't Surrender.

Port Arthur Sunday, Feb. 20.
General Stoessel, commander of
the garrison here, has issued a
general order directing the attention
of the troops and inhabitants to the
fact that the Japanese intend to
land and seize the fortress. The
general declares the Japanese con-
slider the Seizure of Port Arthur to
be a question of national honor and
from their obstinate attacks and
bombardments of the fortress and
bays he a only conclude that the
enemy will make every effort to cap
ture the fortress, failing which the
Japanese will destroy the railroad
and withdraw.
THE enemy, however" proceeds
the general, "is mistaken. Our
troops know and the inhabitants
are herewith informed by me that
we will not yield. We must fight
to the finish, as I, the commandment,
will never give an order to surrender.
/ call on all to become convinced OF
the necessity of fighting to the
death. Those who leave withou,
fighting will not save themselves
There is no way out. On three
sides there is the sea and on the
fourth will be the enemy. There
is no means of escape except by
fighting"

St. Petersburg, March 9.-An
engagement is reported 100 miles
from Vladivostok. The Russians
fed.
Toxic, March o.-The Govern

withstanding its ability to conduct
the wal for a year or two on its own

St. Petersburg, March o.-The
Japanese are still landing troops at
Gensan and proceeding to Ping
Yang.
The sending of the Marquis Ito
to Korea is regarded here as the

torate over a country which has be-

V,ceroy Alexieff is preparing to
move his headquarters to Hardin.
The Russians are throwing up
earthworks between Kaiping and
Liao Yang.
1t is believed here that japan is
trying to regain possession of Sag
halien Island which was formerly
coded to Russia. The demonstra-
ton of naval force in that vicinity

such intention.

Korea stopped by Bullet.

Honolulu, March when the
Pacific Mail liner Korea was about
to enter Yokohama on her last trip
out a bullet fired by a sentinel il a
boat stopped the vessel. That is,
the bullet was fired across her bows
and Captain Seabury stopped the
vessel as quick as possible.
The entrance to Yokohama is
mined extensively, a fact which
Captain Seabury did not realize.
All vessels entering the channel
way or leaving it are preceded by a
boat and the big steamers are com
PEELED to go ahead very slowly.
The mines are designated by little
cork buoys floating on the surface,
and it is a dangerous proceeding for
a vessel to enter without taking
every precaution.

Many Government Employees on the
Anxious Seat.

Honolulu, March 8.-Governor
Carter and Secretary Atkinson are
still working on the appropriation
bills questions. The various heads
of departments have been consulted
and all are figuring on what they
can cut out of their expenses. The
result will be some wholesale eradi-
cations in departmental expenses.
1t appears to be settled that
whether there is an extra session or
not there will be a general reduction
in salaries of government employees.
Governor Carter has expressed the
opinion that employees of the gov
ernment are getting larger pay than
is given for corresponding work in
mercantile houses, and if his advice
is followed the wages will be cut.
Another probability is that some
bureaus will be wiped out, and a lot
of the separate bookkeeping now
done i'll different departments will
be turned over to the Auditors
office. The result of these POSSIBLE
tiles is considerable anxiety among
those who hold government jobs.
The official family" is ready to
accept a IA of 20 per cent.
One of the matters to be decided
before the first of next month is
what shall be done with the March
salary warrants. There will be g
pay day on March IS, according tC
announcement, on which Treasures
Kepoikai will be able to cash til,
remaining February warrants, which
will largely come from other islands
but he will not be able to pay sala
ries on March 81. One suggestion
that has been made is that the pa,
rolls providing for the payment o
laborers, such as the Portuguese
who are in the road department, b
given preference, together witt
other low salaried men, as many @
them need their monthly earning
for actual living expenses.

Criticise the Vicksburg.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 2o.-Refusal
of the commander of the United
States gunboat Vicksburg to unite
with commanders Of other foreign
warships at Chemulpo to protest
against the fighting there on Feb
ruary 8, which resulted in the loss
of the Russian warships Variag and
Korietz, and the fact that the Vicks-
burg did not take OH board any OF
the surviving Russian soldiers, has
created much unfavorable public
comment here.
The foreign Office, however,
shows no disposition to criticise the
commander of the Vicksburg, and
advanced the suggestion that he
might have been restrained by the
belief that such action might con-
stitute a breach OF neutrality.
