General Stoessel
Much Criticised

London, Jan. 19.-The latest news
as to the condition of Port Arthur
when it was surrendered to the Japan
ese occasions much discussion as TO
General Stoessel's reason for capitula-
ton. Criticism, however, is generally
lenient, there being a tendency to re-
gard General Nogi's tributes to Gene.
raj Stoessel't courageous defense as
much in his favor, and the inclination
is to credit General Stoessel with the
knowledge that the morale of his gar.
rison was shattered.
The Daily Telegraph's Kobe CORES
pendent gives somewhat theatrical
account of the final meeting between
the generals at Port Arthur prior to
the surrender, which account was OBJ
tianed from Russian generals at Ma
gasaki. According to this account, 10
generals assembled at General Stoessel
house. Asked the reason for two adj
dltlonal chairs vacant, General Stoes-
sci, bursting into tears, explained that
they formerly belonged to beloved de-
parted; and, having paid tribute to
the gallant dead, General Stoessel
abruptly exclaimed: Well, gentle
men, l presume we will fight to the
end
The discussion which ensued show
ed that the only alternatives were
prompt surrender or speedy annihila-
ton. Then champagne glasses were
filled, and tho emperor's health was
solemnly honored. Meanwhile the ar
tillery Numbered outside, and as sever
al shells burst in the vicinity General
Stoessel ordered the removal of the en-
peror's photograph, the sole adornment
of the bare walls, remarking: 1T is
not right that his majesty should wit
ness such proceedings.
The decision to capitulate being
unanimously reached, each general
signed the record, many sobblng aloud.
Finally, General Stoessel stood at
attention, silently offering a prayer,
brought his sword to salute, shouted,
Long live the car" which the
others repeated in chorus, and the
council ended.
1t is said that Madame Stoessel SEEM
ed stunned and cried aloud when she
heard the decision. 1t is added that
acute estrangement exists between
General Stoessel and his men, owing
to the arrangement of favorable terms
for the officers and not for the men.

CUT OFF 1000 COSSACKS
REPORT A COUNTER MOVE OF
JAPANESE AGAINST RAIDERS.
Trains Target for Guns-St. Peters
burg Believes II Possible the Lonu
Calm Since the Battle of Shakhe
River Is to Be Broken-Furious Fire
Against Trains.

Toxic, Jan. 17.-Several papers here
report that General Mistchenko's raid
ing party of 1000 Cossacks has been
cut off by force of 5000 Japanese,
southeast of Newchwang, and that a
furious battle is raging in that region.
This news is contained in lengthy
dispatches from the front, which tell
in great detail that General Oku had
been kept informed of the activity OF
the Cossacks and that he waited until
the various raiding forces had been
concentrated. A Japanese mixed force
Of nearly 10000 men, mostly cavalry
and light artillery, was held in readi-
ness at Sunlihem, and of these 5000
were dispatched to the relief OF New
chwang and Newchiatun so soon as it
had become evident that the enemy's
force was gathered at these places.
The transport of troops developed
into most perilous undertaking. The
Russians had torn up the railroad four
miles south of .,ewchwang and the
two trains bearing the Japanese
troops became stalled at that point.
General Mistchenko left a small de-
tachment before the towns and rushed
the remainder of his force to the break
| in the line.
A furious fire from field guns was di-
rected against the trains and the en-
cheering party which had been sent
to repair the road, and a fierce engage
ment ensued. Witt a long drawn out
line the Japanese commander met the
Russians, covering the operations of
the engineers successfully, and when
the work had finally been completed,
the trains were rushed through hail
of shrapnel fire.
SiXty-two Russians were killed and
II wounded, the Japanese only losing
10 men killed and IL wounded.
/ General Mistchenko withdrew his
force to a considerable distance and
then prepared for a counter attack
He was evidently ignorant of the
relieving party, for he suddenly chang
ed his plans and made an attempt to
retreat when he obtained accurate in
formation.
/ The correspondents add that the re
/ treat will be cut off and that more re
: Inducements are arriving.
J The attack upon Newchwang and
: Newchiatum occurred on Thursday
last. Three desperate charges were
made against the towns. several points
being attacked at the same time. 1t
was the evident intention of the Rus
SLAMS to burn the stores kept in these
cities, for small parties of Russians
were observed towards evening with
flaming torches shortly after, but be-
fore any damage could be done the re-
! lief arrived.

ENTER PORT ARTHUR.
Japanese Flag Now Floats Over the
Fortress,

General Nogis army made its Of
fetal entry into Port Arthur Friday
afternoon. Detachments from every
branch of the victorious forces, with
flying colors and amidst the blare of
bugles, marched across the gIacis and
into the fortress. The tattered flags
of the regiments which suffered most
during the siege were borne in the van
guard.
According to reliable advices receiv-
ed here from Port Arthur only rs Jap
anese prisoners were found in the fort
ress. This is taken as proof that the
Russians permitted the many wounded
Japanese who fell in the trenches dur
ing attacks to perish where they lay
instead of removing them as prisoners
of war to the hospitals.

London.-The correspondent at Port

The total number of soldiers, sea-

the beginning of the siege was $4,000.
There are no signs of privation. There
was food sufficient for two months, and
the surrender of the Russian garrison
is inexplicable.

that all the money in Port Arthur was
divided among the Russian officers and

which feeling was largely responsible
for the fall of the fortress.

SIMON VOLTS TRIBUTE.
AS a Jew He Deplores the Death Of
the Great Secretary

Referring to the death of Secretary Hay,
Mr.. Simon Wolf said:
Independent of my personal grief, and
aside from the loss I feel as an American
deplore the untimely death of the great
Secretary as a Jew. In the fifty-seven
years since l landed on these shores never
met a man who, in every sense was as
loyal to all the humanities as John Hay.
Persecution bigotry and intolerance were
to him the outcome of benighted age, and
every fiber of his being revolted against
governments and individuals that practiced
them. He was the ideal American sans
peur, sans reproche,' his state papers will
rank with the best of any age, and his
diplomacy will be used as a part of the
curriculum in the schools and universities.
Pure i'll thought, choice in diction, virile in
execution. he personifed the best traditions
and exemplified the evolution OF modern
achievements.
Few names in the Walhalla of fame will
eclipse his His broad, catholic spirit DOM
mated and embellished every subject he
touched. To him nationality and creed were
but links in the great chain of his brotherly
affection, and while worsbiping as a Chris
tan, he reverenced the Jew and bore loving
tribute to the Mohammedan.
Men of that stamp, unfortunately are
rare, and when we have been blessed and
enriched by their presence, let us prove our.
devotion by ever cherishing their immortal
work, and transmit their deathless patriot
ism TO future generations. Poet, thinker,
statesman, diplomatist, patriot, American,
Christian gentleman, dear friend, 'auf VIE
