Kaffa, Feb. 21.-LieutenantG General
StoesseI, the former commander at
Port Arthur, arrived here today
General Stoessel was welcomed by a
cheering crowd. At the dockside a
deputation from the municipality pre-
scented him with the traditional bread
and salt and an address of welcome
Stoessel addressing the assemblage
said:
my. officers and soldiers coming
back to the fatherland bow to you.
Many relatives of those who had de-
Tended Port Arthur were present and
there were pathetic exhibitions of
ceived. Stoessel personally condoled
with the widows and orphans and
many of them kissed his hand.
The general expressed indignation
at the London newspaper reports re-
garding the numbers of available
troops at Port Arthur at the time of
the surrender of the fortress and said
the statements made were all untrue
The Russian fleet, he added, was de-
stroyed beyond repair; there was no
medicine in the fortress, it could not
have held out more than a day longer
and the surrender saved the women
and children.

bonds for stock in the pipe line com
pany. This would give cities counties
