the slightest from it's determination to
fight out the war and by repeating the
figures recently put forward that Rus
sian finances, as shown by the expen-
diture of less than $400,000,00O over
the usual budget since the war began,
would permit Russia continuing the
war more than ten years without
reaching a breaking point. 1t might
be supposed that the news from Port
Arthur would ruin the chances Of the
new Russian loan, but the bankers
consider the loan is likely to be taken
without difficulty.
The military critics treat the sur
render of Port Arthur as the begin
ming of a new phase of the war, liber-
ating General Nogi's army for coop
Grafton with the armies before Muk-
den and removing causes for anxiety
for the japanese, who are now able
to risk more in attacking General Ku-
ropatkin. Captain Won Pustan be-
lieves the Japanese will now proceed
against Vladivostok and destroy the
last Russian naval base in the Far
East. Colonel Gaedke. who has now
returned from Mukden, says Port
Arthurs defense practically saved
General Kuropatkin's army and that
the Japanese have lost in the attack
more men than the whole Russian
garrison numbered.
All the newspapers here eulogize
the courage and persistence displayed
on both sides and some of them re-
gard the recall of the Russian second
Pacific squadron as being a possibility.

OPINION IN FRANCE.
StoessePs Capitulation Imperils the
Army of Kuropatkin

Army of Kuropatkin.
PARIS, Jan. 2.-The news of the
surrender of Port Arthur created a
profound impression here and was the
one theme of conversation in official
and diplomatic quarters and with the
public generally. The newspapers dis
cuss it at much length and in tone of
sadness. The Russian officials here
learned the situation from the press
dispatches from Toxic and the Jap
anese legation received a brief official
summary of the progress of negotia-
tions.
The prevailing French view is
summed up by the Temps which says
the historic defense of Sevastopol has
now been surpassed, Port Arthur add
ing glorious page to military annals
which will long remain unequaled.
Continuing, the Temps points out that
the surrender will exert a tremendous
moral effect favorable to Japan. The
Japanese, the paper says, are now re-
venged for the loss of Port Arthur
after the Carbohydrates war.
French military critics regard the
surrender of Port Arthur as rendering
General Kuropatkin's position increas-
ingly dangerous, as the besieging army
of $4,000 men is now released and will
reinforce the Japanese army in the
north. 1t Is expected that Admiral
Rojestvensky's squadron will proceed
no farther in the direction of the seat
of war.
The hope is expressed in some Of
fic1al quarters that the surrender of
tho fortress will hasten peace, but the
prevailing view is that the fall will
accentuate Russia's resistance. 1. Some
Paris journals assert that Japanese oc-
cupation of Port Arthur will consti-
tute a menace to all Europe, which the
chancellories should prepare to meet.

BRITAIN's ATTITUDE UNCHANGED
No Thought of Intervening i'm the In
tereSt of Peace.


LONDON, Jan. 2.-The capitulation
Of Port Arthur was the sensation of
London to-day. 1t was the one topic
of discussion from the street corners,
where groups were sheltered from the
driving snow, to the comfortable ser
vice clubs, the legations and the resi-
dences and offices of Cabinet Ministers.
Everywhere the utmost admiration
was expressed for the defenders and
the attacking army and the proba-
billty that General Nogi has made con-
cessions to the gallant General Stoes-
sci is received with much satisfaction.
The announcement of the fall of the
Russian stronghold created little sur
prise in official and diplomatic circles,
where it has been discounted by recent
events. 1t was known as early as Oc-
tober' that, Notwithstanding the brave
showing in the official dispatches
StoesSePs resources were nearly at an
end.
Nowhere, not even at the Russian
embassy, was there a doubt concern
ing the generosity of the Japanese in
the arrangement Of the final terms. In
diplomatic circles the main question
was that of the effect of the surrender.
The consensus of opinion was that ii
might tend in the direction of peace
but none dared venture to say that
peace was in sight. 1t is believed II
will do no more than to bring out sug-
gestions from foreign Governments.
At the Foreign Office 1t was said that
the British Governments attitude was
unchanged; that while peace was most
desirable affairs had not reached a
stage where any foreign power could
hope to offer its good offices with the
assurance that it would be considered
friendly act by either of the belliger-
ents.
At the Russian embassy the same
spirit of determination to prosecute
the war to the bitter end was ex-
pressed. In fact it was confidently
stated that Russia would regard the
surrender Of Port Arthur only in the
light of fresh incentive and would
spare on efforts for its recapture.
The general tone at the Russian en-
bassy formed striking contrast to the
cheerfulness and activity prevailing at
the Japanese legation. Minister Hay
ashi was the recipient during the day
of hundreds of kilograms of congratu-
lation from all parts of Great Britain
and other countries. Minister Hayashi
declined to discuss the probability of
peace negotiations. He said, however:
The fall of Port Arthur will at any rate end
the horrible slaughter in one part OF the the
ater Of the war. and / sincerely hope that in
some way it will facilitate final peace. This
depends upon Russia and not upon us. 1t may
strengthen the determination OF Russia to con-
tinue the war at all costs. Its effect on Japan
however can not be doubted Our feet is free
and the release of the besieging army gives us
increased forces available for service else
where. Our base becomes more secure than
ever.
Speaking Of General Stoessel, Min
lister Hayashi said:
The surrender will in no way affect the
glory belonging to him and his men, nor our
admiration for their splendid defense.

ALL PRAISE sToEssEL.
British Fighting Men Laud the Grim
Old Warrior.


LONDON, Jan. General StoessePs
defense of Port Arthur has excited the
admiration of Earl Roberts, comman-
der in chief of the British forces.
"It has been a magnificent defense, y
said the veteran fighter, enthusiastical-
ly. What a splendid fellow he is, to
be sure, How all the world must ad-
mire him"
Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley and
Major General Baden-Powell also pay
enthusiastic tributes to General Stoes-
sci, General Baden Powell saying:
1T is an honorable surrender after a
splendid defense"
Major General Sir Alfred Turner be-
lieves that, in the face of such great
blow TO her prestige, Russia, to rein
state herself, will turn her attention to
the northwestern frontier of India.
The London papers this morning dis
cuss the fall of Port Arthur in all its
bearings on future events, besides pub
fishing every available item of news
and make quite an exceptional display
of portraits of the heroes of the siege,
together with maps and pictures of the
scenes enacted. The sympathies of the
British press naturally flow in the di-
rection of Great Britain's ally, but
nothing could exceed the generosity of
the tributes paid to General Stoessel's
magnificent defense.
There is much difference of opinion
as to the lessons to be learned from
the siege. but the majority of the edi-
torial writer's take the view that the
defense of Port Arthur was a tactical
error; that the fortress exercised a
fatal fascination for the Russian army

sTOEssEL's LAST COUNCIL.
Officers Weep While Discussing Pro-
posal to Capitulate.

CHEFU, Jan. General Stoessel
hoisted the white flag yesterday and
proposed to General Nogi that negotia-
tions should be entered into for the
surrender of Port Arthur.
With the ammunition exhausted in
the northern and eastern forts, with
only 500 convalescents and able bodied
men available for resistance and with
$4,000 wounded men oyerf1owing into
the streets from the shattered hos
pitfalls, General Stoessel decided to call
council of war, at which Admiral
Wiren was present.
Amidst the shells that shrieked cease
lessly. leaving no part of the town safe,
the solemn and wornout officers looked
their fate in the eyes. According to
one who saw the historic meeting, it's
pathos was profound. More than one
voice was choked with sobs.
An agreement was soon reached. The
terms which the council of war decided
to accept were to be honorable; other
wise the garrison would die fighting.
This was the sentiment generally ex-
pressed by those present at the coun-
cil
Then orders flew quickly. Soon two
great explosions occurred in two forts
near the railway, which, having no am
munition, had been destroyed by the
Russians
The remnant of the garrison, which
had retreated, was now prepared to
fight to the last in the harbor forts,
where all available stores had been col
lected, unless the terms offered by Gen.
eral Nogi should prove to be generous.
Although General Nogi had not occu-
pied all the northern forts last night,
the general opinion among the Rus
slams was that their possession by the

GENERAL KUROKIS HEAD
QUARTERS. Saturday, Dec. 81
The positions of the Japanese and
Russian armies south of Mukden have
not been materially changed during
the past two months. In few places
are the lines more than a mile apart,
and they are so close before the Jap>
anese left that loud talking in the
Russian trenches can be plainly
heard.
Though the Russians became very
quiet during the first half of Decem-
Der, they have renewed the lombard
ment of the Japanese center and left
in the past fortnight and they have
selected several points to which they
devote the most attention. The Jap>
anese usually lie low in their trenches
and remain silent. Often several hun

midnight to the breaking of day. FIRE.
Quent sortieS are made by companies
or by a detachment, when the fighting
becomes severe. Both armies are
using the hand grenade as one of their
regular weapons for close fighting.
Reconnoitering forces constantly
patrol the country on both flanks to
guard against offensive movements
and to protect the auxiliary lines of
communication.
The Japanese soldiers are all
clothed in furs and heavy overcoats,
and the equipment and supplying of
the army continues as it has been
since the Japanese landed in Korea
nearly year ago, to be almost above
criticism.

PRESS BREAKS THE NEWS.
Russian PopuIace Informed of the
CitadeIs Surrender.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3, Z q. m.-
The Novoe Vremya and the Russ
briefly and sorrowfully announce the
fall of Port Arthur. Those journals
say that ii will be sad news to Rus
slams, though it has been expected and
regarded as inevitable for weeks past.
Both papers passionately call upon the
country not to let the bloodshed dur
ing the last seven and half months
in defense Of the fortress 60 for
naught, but to continue the war with
the same steadfastness of purpose as
before.
The Novoe vremya editorially de-
clares that it has authoritative news
that British warships are following
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron
and reporting it's disposition and move
ments to Toxic from each cable port
reached The paper adds that the
