though the fighting lasted for six or
seven hours, no ship on either side
was actually sunk, although several
were badly damaged. This showing
is in marked contrast to the fights of
Santiago and Manila bays.
The fact that more damage was not
done must be due primarily to Togo's
caution. If he had closed In he prob
ably could have sunk several Of the
Muscovite vessels. He would undoubt-
cdly have chosen this course IL the
feet before him comprised all the YES
sells of the enemy. But there are the
Black Sea squadron. the Baltic squad

ed cruisers yet to be reckoned with.

very tame one. of course, while the one
four years earlier had been the most hot

By order of the Emperor of Japan

By order Of the Emperor of Japan
an officer Of the besieglng army under
flag of truce conveyed formal de-
mand for the surrender of the garrison
to the Russian lines. The word sur
render seemed not in the vocabulary
of Gen. Stoessel. His uitimatum 20

within Gen. Nogi's lines. conveyed the
most chivalrous defiance
In the coolest terms he expressed
thanks for the enemy's humanitarian
offer to grant safe conduct outside
the lines to non-cOmbatants within the
city. but refused to consider the posi-
bility of capitulation. 1t would be. he
intimated. a fight to the death.
Never in the history of Russia has
there been recorded a case of Rus

obstinate defiance was compatible with
the tradition and wishes of his sII-
periors of the Cars staff.
The remnants of the garrison took
final stand to repulse the Japanese.
Although the vitality of their defense
was ebbing with the passing hours.
sufficient strength remained to them
to deal tremendous blow TO the ad
vancing army.
A terrific night bombard:nent of the
citadel was witnessed by passengers
