for defensive purposes. 1t is not be-
lieved that the force there exceeds 1O,-
900 soldiers.
The feet must now take secondary
position, and the sailors will be used
to man the shore guns if necessary.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff and Vice Adj
miral Bezobrazoff cannot now reach
Port Arthur and will probably go to
Vladivostok to join the cruiser squad
ron there. Rear Admiral Wittsoeft,
who was left in charge of the fleet by
viceroy Alexeieff, will direct opera
tons at Port Arthur. Wittsoeft is
good officer, and it is believed he will
render excellent service.
The main defense will be of Port
Arthur, where since the harbor has
been occupied by the Russians, steady
work has progressed to complete the
system OF defense which is just as
effective on the land as on the sea side.
Lieutenant General Stoessel will
have supreme command at Port Ar
thur. He is described as a high class
commander. His recent procla mations
show that he is imbued with deter
mination to hold Port Arthur until the
last man is killed.
