DREDGING COMPLETED IN SMYRNA RIVER
Improvements Ordered by the Government In
Shortening Rorte Has Been Completed.

Shortening ROEte Has Been Completed.
The work which has been going on in
Smyrna River all summer under direc-
tion of the United States Government
in shortening aud deepening the route
between Smyrna Landing and the Bay
has been completed and last week the
dredging machines left for other
quarters. The "Atlanta" left some
time ago and the "Arizona" left last
week. The appropriation which has
been expended included the cutting
of several canals which has shortened
the route two or three miles, and the
making of the depth at seven feet mean
low water. These improvements which
have been recounted before in these
columns has worked to great advan-
tage to navigation and has enabled the
Smyrna Transportation Company to
have one uniform leaving time with
out respect for tides for their freight
and passenger boats. The new
schedule started out with a regular
leaving time 10 o'clock noon from each
end philadelphia and Smyrna) but in
order to better accommodate the ship
pers new schedule went into effect
last week of making it o'clock in the
afternoon instead of the noon hour.
The improvements which have been
completed under the recent appropria-
tlon does not mean that the route is
complete by any means. Mr.. Jardine
and those who are interested in Smyrna
River navigation will not rest satisfied
until additional appropriation is Sc
cured for making more cuts or canals
from "Brickstore Landing" to mouth of
the River and the building of sub
stantial jetty that will remove the for
nation of the troublous sandbar which
has been menance. to navigation for
years.

the conditions stipulated by us, and
consented to capitulate. The dOcu.
ment has been prepared and sigma

imposed by Gen. Nogi.
Russian officers who accompanied

the incidents, which accompanied Gen.
StOessel's decision to surrender.

was exhausted and that unless he sur
rendered his men would be shot down

A Russian officer who claims to have
seen the meeting says it was most
pathetic More than one voice was
inevitable. An agreement was soon
reached. 1t was to be terms of hon
or, or we die fighting"
Thereupon the remnant of the gar
rison was ordered to concentrate
where all the available stores had been
collected, prepared to fight to the last
unless Gen Nogi proved generous.
Admiral Wiren ordered measures
taken to destroy his ships. Some of
the forts were blown up, and all pos
sibie was done while the messenger
with the offer of surrender was on his
way to Gen. Nogi's headquarters.

PORT ARTHUR is LEFT
LITTLE BUT A MASS
OF BROKEN RUINS

ChefoO, Jan. 3-Midshipman KlisO-
rich, commanding the Russian launch
which left Port Arthur last night said
today:
NO shot has been fired at Port Ar
thur for two days. That which the
Chinese heard last night was the Rus
slams blowing up the forts, ships, mag
aZines, warehouses, docks and every
thing valuable. When / left Port
Arthur the fortress and town were al
most completely wrecked. Several ex-
plosions were necessary to complete
the wreckage of the warships.
Only Hospital ships There.
The only navigable craft now at
Port Arthur are the hospital ships kas-
san and Mongolia and they are unable
to leave on account of the blockad-
ing of the harbor by sunken ships
The statement that there remain
ed 5000 fighting men at Port Arthur
is misleading because the majority
of these half are sick or slightly
wounded There has been for some
time no proper bandages and wounds
have been dressed with hemp.
Relieved mt Surrender.
News that Gen. Stoessel was pre-
pared TO treat for surrender was re-
ceived by the soldiers with feeling
of utter relief. For the past month
several wounds have been gladly re-
ceived by the soldiers because they
allowed them to rest When the men
were not fighting they were tunneling
o nhalf ratiOns.
The bombardment of the last day
or so was terrific. Everybody remark
ed that even Stoessel must see the
futility of further resistance when our
guns were unable to reply.
Long Fight n Miracle.
I'VE might have surrendered a
month ago with the highest honor.
and that the resistance has continued

RUSSIAN OFFICER
TELLS OF AWFUL
DAYS IN FORTRESS

Chefoo, JAN 3-Commander Kart
zow, of the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Vlastni, just arrived, in an in
terview with the Associated Press last
night said:
Port Arthur falls Of exhaustion
exhaustion not only of ammunition, but
of men. The remnant of the garrison
left had been doing the work of heroes
for five days and five nights. but yester-
day they reached the limit of human
endurance. In the easements OF the
forts one saw everywhere faces black
with starvation, exhaustion and nerve
strain. You spoke to them, but they
did not give answer, only starving
dumbly.
Men Were Worn Out.
Lack of ammunition alone would
not have suggested the seeking of
terms. Scant of ammunition had long
been common in the fortress. and dur
ing the past month many of the forts
had nothing in them to return the
fire of the enemy.
The Russians sat in the easements
