From reliable information in the posses
sion of the Associated Press it appears that
the military situation below Mukden is by
no means as satisfactory as represented.
The number of troops at Gen. Kuropatkin's S
disposition is about 225.OO0. and the trans
portation over the Siberian railroad is
proving inadequate.
This fact in connection with the internal
situation might have an important bearing
should Japan submit peace propositions.
Nothing of this nature, however, has yet
made its appearance here. If such pro-
pOsals are contemplated through the United
States they might be awaiting the return
of Ambassador Mccormick who will arrive
here Friday.

Russian Papers Opinion.

The Russ declares the nations well-wish-
ers could not tolerate the idea of peace,
but adds that no victory is possible with
disunion at home, and insists that Japan
is counting as much on the possibility of a
revolution in Russia as upon her own army
and strategists.
Therefore 1T is vital to convince Japan
that II the war is to be pushed until the
enemy's resources are exhausted the whole
Russian nation will be solid, which, how
ever, Will only be possible by allowing the
real representatives of the nation to
speak"
The renewal of agitation on this line, in
spite OF the official warning, Is extremely
significant, and may foreshadow a coming

The colors Of Japan now float
over Port Arthur and the transfer
of the war property there to the
Japanese was begun by the Russian
officers today.
Of the $4,000 inhabitants of the
port 10000 are sick, and Japan has
magnanimously granted the sup
plies and assistance necessary for
their subsistence and care.
The Russian prisoners will be
marched out of the citadel tomor-
row for transport to Japan.
TOKYO, January 4.-The Japanese cap
tured % 5000 prisoners at Port Arthur. The
total number of inhabitants is $4,000, of
whom 10000 are sick.
General Nogi reports to the army de-
partment that on January the commits
sioners of both the Japanese and Russian
armies concluded their conference and that
from the morning of January the actual
transfer of war materials at Port Arthur as
property of the japanese government COM
menced.
What Port Arthur Cost.
The Jill, discussing the surrender of Port
Arthur, reviews the price paid in lives, and
says: I'VE ought to keep Port Arthur in
our hands SC long as our empire exists.
Port Arthur is the key to peace in the far
east and it is our duty to keep the key in
oar hands,
Optional With Officers.
The Emperor of Russia has telegraphed
to Gen. Stoessel saying that the giving Of
their parole or the alternative of imprison-
ment is optional with the officers.

RUSSIAN PRESS VIEWS.
Heroic Work of Port Arthur Defenders
Praised-Lessons.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 4.-The
press here contains absolutely no addi-
tfonal news Of the war, but the papers
with one accord, praise the heroic work
of the Port Arthur garrison and say it's
record furnishes an object lesson to both
Russia and Japan.
After bestowing a tribute on the de-
tenders the Novoe Vremya says:
The unpreparedness of the fortress,
which now stands confessed before the
world, reads as lesson what Russia must
do and how she must change her methods
to achieve victory. 1t also shows Japan
what she has undertaken when such
enormous losses are entailed in capturing
even small, empty-handed garrison driv
en- to the last ditch. Russia has had eleven
months of hard but valuable experience in
the art of war under the new conditions
imposed by modern technical require
ments. 1t has been costly training, but it
will be valuable.
In an even more strongly worded article
Russ says:
Had the Japanese been able to cut off
the last train which reached Port Arthur
the blockade would have found the fort
reSS even worse prepared Well may
those few remaining heroes say: We
have done our duty, but you, oh, people OF
done all you could and should have done?"
Russ concludes: Russia cannot AFFORD to
quit during a losing fight The time has
now come for every one to put shoulder
to the wheel and redeem our prestige IN the
far east" The paper bluntly attributes to
the effect of the muzzling regime under the
late Minister of the Interior Won Plehve
the fact that the nation was not fully
warned beforehand of the real conditions
to be faced at the opening of the war, and
says the press is now more fully able to
point out the needs and urge the nation 10
activity.
One of the most serious features OF Port
Arthur's fall. according to the Novost, is
the effect upon the already questionable
neutrality Of the Chinese. Loss of prestige,
in the eyes of the orientals, says the paper,
is much more serious than the strateg1cai
value of the fortress.

What the japanese Invaders Found at
Port Arthur.

Port Arthur.
CHEFOO. January 4.-The protected
cruiser Akitsushima, four torpedo boat
destroyers and two torpedo boats consti-
tuted today's Japanese guard Off this port.
The destroyers which guarded the Rus
sian f1otiIla last night went out at the
expiration of twenty-four hours, returning
Immediately with others. They have been
in and out of the harbor intermttently
ever since.
Tonight all the Russian destroyers with
drew to the south side of the harbor
where they probably will remain until their
disarmament is complete. Japanese Con-
sui MizounO inspected the Russian vessels
during the day and pronounced the prog
ress made in their disarmament satls-
factory.
1t is said that the booty which fell into
the hands of the Japanese at Port Arthur
only amounted to $4,000 tons of coal and
two months rations of rice.
OF the go officers of the Russian navy at
Port Arthur at the beginning of the war
$50 have been killed or wounded, many
of them while doing duty in the forts.
Russians Confessed Identity.
TOKYO, January 4, II a.m.-Commander
Pelem and lieutenant of the Russian
torpedo boat destroyer Rastoronpy, who
were captured on board the British
steamer Nigretia and taken on board of
her to Sasebo, have confessed their
identity before the naval court there.
Heretofore they posed as German super
cargoes, but when confronted with the
results of the Japanese Investigations at
Shanghai concealment was impossible.
They have been declared prisoners of
war.
No contraband has yet been discovered
on board of the Nigretia. Her cargo con-
sists of kerosene, and the prize court is
still undecided upon what action to take
in her case. 1t is probable If the ship is
condemned it will be solely owing to
connivance in the escape of the Russian
