Richards out here at great expense,

Hermann transmitted the two false

Watson was living with Puter,
"All Of this talk about 100000 prose-

OF convicting these defendants for the

War News.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 5,-Although the
war office and the admiralty are still
without direct news from Port Arthur,
a confidence in the ability OF the fort
ress to hold out is still expressed.
Reports from Toxic of the shellins
of battleships and the recapture of 800
Meter hill are considered misleading.
According to high officer OF the gen.
eral staff. warships would be able to
seek shelter from firing from 203- Meter
hin by anchoring behind Antse hill
peninsula.
Reports that the Russians are clear
ing the mine fields outside the harbor
is taken as evidence that the squadron
is preparing to move out to this anchor
age to secure the protection of the
shore batteries.
Tokio's reports Of the loss of 5000
men in the attempt to recapture 20S-
Meter hill is ridiculed in view of the
counter attacks being made when the
loss of 800 men would have crippled
resistance.
