the survivors Of Port Arthur forward
detailed accounts of discord among the
Russian officers. The army officers are

admiral Lockinsky. who was COM
mander of the torpedo defences at Port
Arthur is quoted as making bitter
criticism of Gen. Stoessel, Admiral
AleXietf and others. The Matin quotes
l-ockinsky as characterizing Vice Adj
miral stark and Rear Admiral With
oeft as bed chamber admirals not ac-
quainted with their duties and seasick
whenever ailoat.' The admiral added
that Vice Admiral Skrydloff prudently
established himself ashore at Vladivos-
iok notwithstanding his opportunity to
break the ineffective blockade of Port
Arthur.
Lockinsky declared he would de-
nounce SICtsSel, Skrydloff and Alexieff
before the court martitl, as he did not
intend 10 let himself be made a scape-
goat like Rear Admiral OuktOmsky,
who now trenbles with fear in Chi
nese hispitai." Locknsky sited many
instances of the appropriateness of the
land and naval defences, frequent con-
iicts of authority and decentralization
during critical engagements.

raj Lockinsky as refusing to speak OIL to
di~cord among officers foresha s rvs

The Petit Parisien quotes Gen. StOes-
sci as sarcastically saying:
"Rojestvensky had better not estab-
lish Il too secure base along the route
or like the naval officers al Port Arthur
it would be impossible to let them ven
tire seward
The correspondent of the Petit Pari-
sien adds:
Gen. Stoessel cannot pardon the
navy's failure to succor him while the
navy returns his hatred" .....
The French special correspondents
conclude that the fortress fell largely
because Of the regrettable Quarrels
among the officers.
