At in the afternoon OF January 1st
the enemy's bearer of a flag of truce
came into the first line of our position
south of Shuishiying and handed a let
ter to our officers. The same reached
me at O'Clock at night. The letter
is as follows:
Judging by the general condition
Of the whole line of hostile positions
held by you find further restance at
Port Arthur useless. and for the pur-
pose of preventing needless sacrifice OF
lives l propose to hold negotiations
with reference to capitulation. Should
you consent to the same you will
please appoint commissioners for dis
cussing the order and conditions re-
garding capitulation and also appoint
a place for such commissioners to
meet the same appointed by me.

anxiety for the Japanese. who are now

naval base in the Far East. Colonel
Gaedke (war correspondent of the

Expeet Offer of Peace.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 3.-In diplomatic
circles. where there is every reason to
believe there is the best information
regarding the plans of the Japanese
1t is stated that the fall of Port Arthur
will be promptly followed by an offer
of peace from Japan.
1t is understood that strong eff
fort will be made to have the offer
come through President Roosevelt. 1t
is even suggested that the terms might
include an arrangement which would
give Russia an outlet through the Per

Reasons for the Surrender.

Reasons for the Surrender.
Che Foo, Jan. 3, midnight.-Com
mander Kartzow of the Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer Tlastnini, which
is now here in an interview 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.
I'm the classmates 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 staring
dumbly.
"The lack OF ammunition alone
would not have suggested the seeking
of terms. Scant ammunition had
long been common In the fortress and
during the past month many of the
forts had nothing with which to re-
turn the fire of the enemy.
THE Russians sat in the classmates,
firing not more than once to 200
shots sent by the Japanese. Then,
when the assault came, they repulsed
the enemy with bayonets. But the
men themselves. having existed for
three months on reduced rations. were
80 worn that it is marvellous they
stood the final strain SO long.
Sunday General Stoessel would
still fight His wound, which was
received early in the siege. had been
bother;ng him, but his determination
to fight while one man stood had not
been diminished.
"'But we cannot light said his gen
erals. Our men cannot move. They
sleep standing. They cannot see the
bayonets at their breasts. We can or
der. but they cannot obey
"'Then. you generals flght!' said
Stoessel, clenching his fists.
"He seemed fanatical on the subject
but finally he was brought to see rea-
son by the insistence of his subordin-
ates. Admirals Lochinsky and Wiren,
Generals Smyrnoff and Fook and many
others, sometimes with broken voices,
urged the step which all had dreaded
SO long.
II am sure Port Arthur would have
sought terms month ago had 1t not
been for General Stoessel. who. with
bulldog tenacity. repeatedly refused to
permit such action to be taken. He
had told his Emperor that he would
never surrender and he meant to keep
his word.
THE greatest loss suffered by Port
Arthur occurred fortnight ago, when
Major General Kondratenko was
killed. Officers and men alike regarded
him as the brightest star in Port Ar
thurs armament. When his death be-
came known the fall in the spirits of
the soldiers was plainly visible"

Russian Torpedo Boats Escape.

Russian Torpedo Boats Escape.
morning four Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers from Port Arthur arrived
here. There are seven Japanese tor
pedo boat destroyers in the harbor.
The Russian torpedo boats, Skory,
Stratni, Niasthini and Serdity, have
been disarmed and the Japanese de-
stroyers which followed them in have
left the harbor.
1t is reported that there are $1,000
sick and wounded at Port Arthur, and
that 5000 able-bodied convalescents
man the forts.
Besides the vessels mentioned, the
torpedo boat destroyers Smirli and
Boild and transport left Port Arthur
last night, the latter carrying 500
wounded soldiers, and, according to a
dispatch from Tsingtau, succeeded in
reaching that German port.
The departure of the ships was de-
cided upon at the council of war at
which 1t was determined to negotiate
for a surrender of the fortress. Rear
Admiral Wren asked General Stoes-
sells permission to save the destroyers,
etc., which was readily granted. The
destroyers, the transport and the
launch crept out of the harbor without
encountering the Japanese. 1t was de-
termined to disarm the four destroy
ers, which lashed themselves together.
In the absence of Chinese warship
the commissioner of customs here took
charge of the Russian craft. The lat
ter ordered the crews of the torpedo
boat destroyers and number of in
valid Russian sailors who were on
board of them to go to the Chinese
fort, where quarters for them are avail
able. Tonight the customs men and
details from the guardship are pre-
venting foreigners from going on
board the Russian vessels.
The officers of the Russian torpedo
boat destroyers there report that the
entire town of Port Arthur has been
destroyed. including the hospital.

In accordance with the established
custom, namely, to grant a pardon to
deserving convict on the Fourth of
July, Christmas day and New Years
day Of each year, Governor Otero at
Santa Fe on Tuesday, July 4th, 1905,
commuted the, sentence Of William II.
McGinnis to a term OF ten years. Nc
Ginnis was sentenced at the October,
1899, term of the fourth judicial dis
trict court for Colfax county to serve
life sentence for murder in the Sec
ond, degree The sentence was com
muted because of the exemplary con.
duct Of the prisoner during his five

and as he had caused no trouble to
the authorities In that time. Under
the communication McGinnis will be
liberated on the 10th of October, 1903
