NO SURPRISE In LONDON.
Military Circles Have known for
Three Months That StOeSsel
Could Not Hold Out.

London, Jan. 3.-The capitulation Of
Port Arthur is the sensation of Lon
don. Everywhere the utmost admira-
ton is expressed for the defenders
and the attacking army and the prob
ability that Gen. Nogi has made con-
cessions to the gallant Gen. Stoessel Is
received with much satisfaction. The
announcement of the fall of the Rus
sian stronghold created little surprise
in official and diplomatic circles, where
1t had been discounted by recent
events. 1t was known as early as last
October that, Notwithstanding the
brave showing In the official dis
patches, Stoessel's resources were near
ly at an end.
At the Russian embassy the same
spirit of determination to prosecute
the war to the bitter end was ex-
pressed In fact, it was confidently
stated that Russia would only regard
the surrender of Port Arthur In the
light of a fresh incentive and would
spare no efforts for its recapture.

SIX THOUSAND LEFT
Port Arthur Garrison Terribly Re-
duced When the End Came.
SOLDIERS IN HOSPITAL FOUR TINES
Wounded Returned to Battle Only to
BE Shot Down AgRin-VictOry
Cost Japan S1OO,OOO,OOO and
Thousands of Men.

Chefoo, Jan. 4.-Some interesting
statistics concerning the. defense OF
Port Arthur were brought here by the
fiotilla Of Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers which carried numerous
chests containing complete records OF
Gen. Stoessels army. Originally the
army numbered $4,000. Eleven thou
sand have been killed, 10000 are
wounded or sick, while 5000 remained
in the forts, of whom, however, 1000
were unable to fight
II ts learned that when Gen. StOessel
wrote to Gen. Nogi regarding the sur
render Of the fortress he said: II have
5000 men in the forts and 5000 Of
these are able to fight. II you do not
accept my proposal, these men will die
fighting, but it will cost you three
times their number to kill them"
During the siege 265 per cent. of the
garrison were.put out OF action. This
remarkable fact was due to wounded
men returning to the front. Cases
have been recorded where men have
gone to hospitals four times, return
ing convalescent to the forts.
The number Of officers killed was
proportionately greater than In any
battle known to history. This was due
to the frequent lethargic condition Of
the men who, without food and with
out sleep, moved only when ordered
by their officers. The Russians esti-
mate that the taking OF the fortress
has cost Japan $100OO0,000.

JAPAN TO PROPOSE PEACE.
Fall of Port Arthur Places 1IikadO'S
Empire I'm MaEnanimOus Mood
VIII Roosevelt ActF

St. Petersburg, Jan. Sin diplo-
matte circles, where there is every
reason to believe there is the best in
formation 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 effort will be
made to have the offer come through
President Roosevelt. 1t is even sug-
gested that the terms might include
an arrangement which would give Rus
STA an outlet through the Persian
gulf, There is, however. no indication
as to whether an effort to induce Presi-
dent Roosevelt TO move In the matter
would be likely to succeed. 1t GER
tainly is regarded as unlikely that
such a suggestion should come through
the United States unless the president
has the strongest previous intlmation
that Il would be favorably considered
by the Russian government II may
be added that while II is known that
Emperor Nicholas from the beginning
regarded the war with great abhor-
renee, there is nothing yet to indl-
cate that his government intends TO
recede from the programme of fight
ing to a finish. which has repeatedly
been announced.

food had restored his faculties. The
girl thought dreamily, as he stood
there in his rough attire, that she had
never seen a finer man. He was tall,
sinewy and well formed. In repose his
face was pleasant, if masterful. Its
somewhat %sullen, self contained ex-
preston was occasional and acquired.
She wondered how be could be so ener-
getic. Personally she was consumed
with sleepiness.
He produced a revolver.
"Do you mind if l fire a shot to test
these cartridges| he inquired. "The
powder is all right. but the illuminate

She agreed promptly. He pointed
the weapon at a cluster Of %cocoanuts,
and there was a loud report. Two nuts
fell to the ground, and the air was fill
ed with shrill screams and the Tapping
Of innumerable wings. Iris was mo-
mentarily dismayed, but her senses

memories of strange tales of the China
sea crowded unbidden to his brain,
"Dyaks!" he growled fiercely. "a
ships officer, an Englishman probably
murdered by head hunting Dyak pi
rates!"
If they came once they would come
again.
Five hundred yards away Iris Deane
was sleeping. He ought not to have
left her alone. And then, with the
devilish ingenuity Of coincidence. q
revolver shot awoke the echoes and
sent all manner Of wild fowl hurtline
through the trees with clamorous ont.
cry.
Painting and wild eyed, jerks was at

the shelter Of the grove, but on the
sands, gazing, pallid in cheek and lin.
at the group Of rocks on the edge of the
lagoon.

"Oh, I don't know she walled
brokenly. * had a dream, such a hor.
rible dream. You were struggling with
some awful thing down there" She
pointed to the rocks.
Il was not ear the place." he said
laboriously. 1t cost him an effort to
breathe. His broad chest expanded
inches with each respiration.
Yes. yes, | understand. But I
awoke and ran to save YOU. When T
got here I saw something, a thing
with waving arms, and fired. It van
1shed, and then you came"
The sailor walked slowly to the
rocks. A fresh chip out of the stone
showed where the bullet struck. One
huge bowlder was wet, as if water had
beer splashed over it. He halted and
looked intently into the water. Not a
hsh was to be seen. but small spirals
OF sand We're eddying up from the bot
tom, where it shelved steeply from
the shore.
Iris followed him. "Seew she cried
excitedly. II was not mistaken. There
was something here"
A creepy sensation ran up the mans
spine and passed behind his ears. At
this spot the drowned Lascars were
lying. Like an inspiration came the
knowledge that the cuttlefsh, the
dreaded octopus, abounds in the China
sea.
His face was livid when he turned to
Iris. You are overweight by ia
