RUSSIANS IN FRISCO
PAROLED OFFICERS FROM PORT
ARTHUR ARRIVE There.
The Naval Officers Had No Criticism
Of General Stoessei or Defense Of
Port Arthur-Were Treated Well by
Japs-Russian Officers viii Report
to Their Ambassador at Washington.

Three paroled Russian naval cap
tains and II lieutenants have arrived
in San Francisco from Port Arthur,
en- route to Russia, on the steamship
Siberia.
The naval officers had no criticism
of General Stoessel or the conduct Of
the defense of Port Arthur, beyond
the fact that the Russian fleet was
undermined and had not sufficient
supply of ammunition when the war
began. Port Arthur, they said, would
have fallen the latter part Of August
had it not been for the Strengthening
of the land forces with guns and men
from the fleet.
General Stoessel," said Captain Won
Essen, is a brave soldier, great
general and a true patriot. He held
to the last minute. He had lots Of
ammunition, certainly, but I never
heard of any army which could live
on ammunition. Lack of food was the
main reason for the surrender. There
were not more than 10000 ablebodied
soldiers in the garrison when it was
surrendered"
According to the statements of the
officers, but little food was carried
through the blockade by junks.
The Russian officers will leave for
New York in few days, from which
place they will report to the Russian
Ambassador at Washington.
They speak in the highest terms of
the treatment accorded them by the
Japanese.
None would express an opinion OF
the Russian domestic condition, but
they were hopeful that the war would
have a successful issue.

Was indicative of the company's attitude
that the people might as well depend on
