bravery and gallantry of his defense.
The paper contrasts the action of the
emperor in directing that full military

Stoessels.
The Jiju characterizes General
Stoessel's action as mean and unlawful
mad says that it should deprive him of
any military honors at the hands of his
captors. The paper also revives the
charges of Red Cross violations at Port
Arthur and declares that no treatment
would be too severe in fixing the terms
of surrender

St. Petersburg
Hears of Defeat

st. Petersburg, Jan. 3-This city is
floundering hopelessly between widest
CONSERVATION and the gloom of despair.
For hours the censor succeeded in
suppressing the Hateful news from Port
Arthur, but once the first inkling of it
became known. it spread like wildfire
and soon the whole story became
known. The effect was indescribable
There are those who greet the calamity
as a we'll deserved punishment for the
autocracy, but the majority of the pop
ulation is too stunned to feel anything
but blacklist despair. So far as can be
learned, army circles consider the fall
of the fortress in quite different light
from what it appears in the eyes of ma
val officers. Army men say that Port
Arthur having played its part, may
now quit the stage. Its fall will not
effect the future conduct of the war,
as the czar is determined to continue
in his attempt to ultimately defeat the
Japanese. Naval circles, on the other
hand, regard the surrender as an ire
parable disaster, fatal to Russian pres
tige and far reaching in its effect upon
Russia course in Manchuria.
