TELLS OF LATEST FIGHTING.

Russian Officer Says Men and Am.

Che Foo, Jan. 3.-Commander

with the Associated Press correspond.

of the garrison left had been doing

five nights, but Sunday they reached

exhaustion and nerve-strain. You
spoke to them, but they did not give
answer, only staring dumbly.
Sunday General Stoessel would
still fight. His wound, which was
received early in the siege, had been
hothering him, but his determination
to fight while one man stood had not
been diminished.
But we cannot fight said his gen
erals. Our men cannot move. They
sleep standing. They cannot see the
bayonets at their breasts. We can
order, but they cannot obey

Stoessel. clinching his fists.
He seemed fanatical on the sub
ject, but finally he was brought to
see reason by the insistence of his
subordinates. Admirals Lochinsky
and Wren, Generals Smyrnoff and
Fock and many others. sometimes
with broken voices, urged the step
which all dreaded so long. | am sure
Port Arthur would have sought terms
a month ago had it not been for Gen
eral Stoessel, who, with bulldog te-
nacity, steadily 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 a fortnight ago, when
Major General K~ondratenko was
killed. Officers and men alike re-
garded him as the brightest star in
Port Arthur's armament. When his
death became known, the fall in the
spirits of the soldiers was plainly
visible. General K~ondratenko was
seated in the casemate of a fort dis
cussing with seven other officers the
best way OF counter-mining against
the Japanese. when an eleven-inch
shell burst, killing everybody in the
casemate.
General Nogi has taken Port Ar.
thur with his artillery and his tun-
nels. His rifle bullets were seldom
found TO be of any use. We constant
ly endured a bombardment fiercer
than any in history. The japanese
periodically assaulted, and then, if re-
pulsed. they calmly resumed their
bombardments. 1t cost the Japanese
$4,000 men to take the fortress. while
some say they have lost over 100,O 600.
The number of our own dead is not
known, even to the high officers"

convicts Make Break for Liberty.
Sacramento, Cal. Dec. 30.-One
hundred and fifty convicts at the
state prison at Folsom made a break
for liberty while they were being
brought from work at a rock crusher
and in the fight that followed, three
prisoners were shot dead and Guard
Jolley shot through the cheek. Jolley
is believed to have been shot by one
of the guards by mistake, as none of
the prisoners had a firearm. All of
the convicts were armed with dirks
and they drew them on Captain Muir
ply and Guard Joiley. They tried to
force the captain and guard to con,
duct them through the guard lines.
The officers refused, however, and the
outposts commenced to fire.

Russians Blow UP Ships.


The Daily Mails correspondent
with General Nogi says the capture
of Wantai involved six hours of the
~fiercest fighting, while the attacks on
the forts to the southeast were car
ried or simultaneously. Describing
the final scenes, the correspondent
says: The Stacked fire at points in
northern and eastern forts seemed TO
show that the Russian ammunition
was failing. The position was now
desperate. Great explosions around
the forts proclaimed that the Rus

which revealed the destruction of the
Russian ships. The Russians also APP

blown up, and the other warships
were destroyed as thoroughly as pos

one-fifth of the total quantity that flows

But this quantity is itself very much less

and the figures go to show that the natural

Depth to Plant a Tree.

From Suburban Life.
AS to the depth to plant tree, 1t seems
to be the general idea that the future pros
perity of the tree is proportionate to the
depth and frmness with which 1t is placed
in the ground, and the percentage that
plant too shallow is almost too insignih-
cant to be worth considering. for the sin
ming is all in the opposite direction.
Look for the mark made by the cath on
the trunk of the tree when 1t stood in the
nursery, and going by that. although it
may seem shallow to you. you will make

Thames Steamboat Service.

The steamboat service on the Thames.
which has been the cause of SO much dis
cussion and dispute, is at last nearing its
realization. and Father Thames will come
TO his own again on May /. The county
council has passed the proposals for the
naming of the boats after famous citizens
of London and agreed to scale of fares
which will make the Thames the cheapest
highway In London. A penny fare is the
unit, and is good for three miles, and for
five pence one will be able TO go from
Greenwich 10 Hammersmith, about fifteen
miles. To begin with. the steamboat SER
vice will extend no further, but 1t is to be
hoped that the council will not remain salts
