RUSSIANS DON'T KNOW IT.
News Of The Fall Of Pert Arthur Is Kept
From The Public.

st. Petersburg, Jan. Awhile there
is no longer any doubt in official cir
cles in st. Petersburg that the fate of
Port Arthur has been decided and
General StoessePs long and gallant
defense ended, news of the surrender
has not yet been allowed to reach the
public. Foreign kilograms regarding
the matter have been withheld from
the newspapers, pending the issue of
the official announcement here The
public is following the dictates of it's
conscience in this matter, but so far
is entirely unprepared for news which
must prove a serious blow when it
comes. The newspapers so far mere
ly intimate that the defense of the
garrison is proceeding as usual, but
everyone has realized for some time
that the end was approaching and
there is no question that the majority
if they were prepared by a prelimin-
airy announcement by the government
could forgive the loss of the fortress
in admiration of the garrison's heroic
defense
Possibly some of the hesitation of
the authorities here to make the an
nouncement OF the fall of Port Ar
thur is due to threats and rumors of
radical demonstrations, coupled with
the absence of the emperor; but it is
certain that no demonstration is like
~ which could assume serious pro-
portions, and the radical leaders
would be sure to ALLEVIATE the sym
pathy of even the more liberal Rus
SLAMS if thy chose such a moment for
a revolutionary demonstration.
