Much Rejoicing In 81. Petersburg Over
General SfoesseI's Bravery.
REPORT WITHHELD FOR REASONS,
The Wounding of General Stressed Is
Confirmed but Injury Is Not Suffl-
cient to Prevent Him From Direct
ing Defense on Fortress.

The Japanese army south of Muk-
den is reported to be concentrating on
their left and center, presumably WIN
the intention of attacking, and a re-
newal of fighting is expected. state
ments given out at st. Petersburg re-
garding the situation at Port Arthur
are more hopeful and represent that
the garrisons may be expected to hold
out until the arrival of Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky's squadron. The report
that General StoesseI mad been wound
ed is confirmed, but it is said his in
jury is not sufficient to prevent him
from directing the defense of the fort
ress.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 19.-Rejoicing
over the undaunted spirit displayed by
General Stoessel in his telegram OF
Generalization to Emperor Nicholas on
the anniversary of his accession to the
throne, and officially announcing the
failure of General Nogis attempt to
present Port Arthur to the Mikado as
a birthday gift is tempered by private
information that the gallant COM
mander has been wounded. General
Stoessel was struck in the head by
splinter from a shell while he was per-
sonally directing the repulse of a par
ticularly desperate assault, but for
tunately the wound is not serious and
General Stoessel has not been required
to relinquish command. General
Stoessel is regarded as the heart and
soul of the defense and his death or
disability which would cause him to
relinuuish command would be re-
garded as an irremediable misfortune.
Other information sent by General
Stoessel, which has not been divulged
for strategic reasons, it is said by the
war Office, is by no means unfavoraDle
While the garrison is now hemmed in
in the citadel itself not one of the main
forts has been taken. The garrison
has been provisioned, fresh ammuni-
ton has arrived, and General Stoessel
expresses confidence that the defense
can be successfully maintained until
the arrival of Vice AGmiral Rojestven-
sky's second Pacific squadron.
The report that the armored cruiser
Gromoboi had been injured at Viadi-
vostok is confirmed. The vessel
grounded as she was returning to the
harbor upon trial trip after the re-
pair of the injuries received in the
fight with Admiral Kamimura's
squadron, but at the admiralty the in
juries are said to be slight.
