PORT ARTHUR TAKEN BY THE JAPS|

Port Arthur has surrendered Ex-
Luusted by months of almost constant
fighting, dCcimated by disease and
casualties and hopelessly scaled in its
rock fortress, the gallant garrison
yielded TO its gallant besicgers and the
end is now written Of the most dra
matte war incident Of modern times.
Port Arthur surrendered at o'clock
Sunday night. The capitulatiOn was
preceded by a letter from General
StOesSel to General Nogi, asking under
what terms he would be allowed to
turn over the stronghold and his
trooyS. Nogi's demands were agreed
To-
Tie fail Of the fortress was preceded
By IN attack on the main chain Of
fortS. in which there was a terrific
explosion, followed by the upheaval Of
a huge pillar Of earth and stones. \
mine had been successfully exploded
at the northeast corner Of the main de-
Tense, which. in its collapse, buried a
number Of the devoted garrison. \
second explosion was heard directly
aftcrward from the interior Of the fort,
and a Japanese StOrming party, which
had been held in readiness at once
dashed into the breach. They threw !
showers of their deadly little hand |
grenadeS over the wall. and amid the |
smoke and confusion caused by them |
the Japanese poured hoadlOng into the !
shattered works. The survivors Of the |
garrison were quickly ove"powCred.
General StOc>Scl then offered TO sur
render, and ut . o'clock Sunday night
all of the forts were occupied.
The news that the Russian forces at
Port Arthur have surrendered follows
upon 4 month OF reverseS. The siege
began almost with the firing Of the
first gun in the war, now nearly eleven
months ago, ana when perhaps the
greatest stronghold in the world was
garriSoned by 10000 Russian soldiers.
supported by formidable squadron of
modern battleships. cruisers and tor
pedo boats. These warShipS have been
destroyed or dispersed until only few
torpedo boats remain in the harbor.
The garrison had been reduced to
about 1900 men.
On Dec. 1 High (203-Meter) hill one
of the most commanding positions in
the series of forts held by the Rus
slams, was captured by the japanese
after a severe fight, in which the loss
