A LETTER BREATHING DESPAIR
Written nv one OH the SevastODol. il
SAYS Port arthur Cannot Resist
4fter December.
1Rv the Associated Press. }

Toktt Dec. 30.--Eyening -The
Navy Department published tonight
q letter written by man on the bat
tSleship Sevastopol. which had fallen
into the hands of the japanese.
Following is the text OF the letter.
The fortress cannot resist after De-
cember. The progress of the enemy
! in reducing our principal line of outer
defenses is not fully known, but it IL
Irresistible.
I'VE are sadly disappointed over the
non-arrival of the Second Pacific
Squadron and are daily nearing our
misera BILE end.
General Stoessers so-called impreg-
nable line of outer defences is now u
myth. With 203 Metre Hill lost tnt.
fall of Port Arthur cannot be avoided.
Its capture by the Japanese means the
fall of the town, however strong the
other defences.
THE new town is at the mercy of
the enemys fire. The old town alone
is defendable and here alone may re-
sistance be prolonged.
Terrible Slaughter.
."Two-thirds of the defenders of 203
Metre Hill were lost.
The Sevastopol which was exposed
to the enemy's fire in the day time
left the harbor on the night of De-
cember 8, without being towed. She
carried only Ill instead OF her COM
plement of $50 souls. When she went
out she had her nets down but was
struck twice by the enemy's torpedoes.
and was beached irreparably damaged.
General Stoessel highly praised the
officers and crew of the ship.
Fuel is almost unobtainable and it
is impossible to keep our bodies warm.
I'VE no longer have a wireless tele-
graph system and have no means of
communicating With the outside world.
Our isolation is complete. There is
no news and we have had no infornla-
ton for a long time.
1T is impossible to smuggle am
munition. The captain OF the King
Arthur brought only barley.
There is a large hole in the hull
of the Sevastopol and she is COM
pleteIv disabled. All that remains for
those on board her is to do their ut
most in repulsing the enemy's at
Sacks.
1.-The enemy's torpedo boats cam.
close to the Sevastopol and attacked
her as if they were going through or
binary manoeuvres.
Should the SevastopoI sink we arc
to land at a place already decided
upon. All are. however, prepared 10
fight to the very best. On us of the
Sevastopol depends the duty of retain
ing the honor of the navy and avoid
ing the shame and humiliation OF
threatened starvation. We would
rather die than be shamed.
"Who is responsible for the fate we
face? It is he who did not give in
lstructions for the prevention of a Jap
aliese landing on the Lao Tung PENN
Sula."
