HARD BLOW TO RUSSIA.
St. Petersburg Press Praises Heroii
Work Of Defenders.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-The press
here contains absolutely no additional
news of the war, but the papers Vita
one accord praise the heroic work oi
the Port Arthur garrison and say It's
record furnishes an object lesson tt
both Russia and Japan
After bestowing a tribute on the de
tenders the Noyoe Vremya says:
THE unpreparedness OF the fortress
which now stands confessed before
the world, reads as a lesson on what
Russia must do and how she mus'
change her methods TO achieve vic
tory. 1t also shows Japan what she
has undertaken when such enormous
losses are entailed in capturing such
a small, empty handed garrison. driven
to the last ditch Russia has had
eleven months of hard but valuable
experience in the art of war under the
new conditions imposed by modern
technical requirements. Ii has been
costly training, but it will be valua
ble
One of the most serious features oi
Port Arthur's fall, according to the
Noyosti, is the effect upon the al
ready questionable neutrality OF the
Chinese. Loss of prestige in the eyes
of the Orientals, says the paper, is
much more serious than the strates
ical value of the fortress.

When the news uf the surrender OF
the fortress reached the soldiers yes

the Japanese drew close to their late

When nightfall came great bonfires

The entire garrison and all the non

The prisoners of war will be de-
tanned at the Russian barracks in the

Thus has Japan won the great Rus

five months siege in which she lost
over $4,000 soldiers, who were put out
of action in the most sanguinaIy and
desperate fighting the world has ever
seen.
The surrender OF the fortress at the

to the Japanese, as the desperate de
termination and com age of the Rus,

Gated that the struggle would be one

SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS
Siege of Port Arthur Anounded il
Surprises.

Chefoo, Jan 5.-Some interesting
statistics concerning the defense OF
Port Arthur were brought here by the
fiotila of Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers, which carried numerous
chests containing complete records OF
General Stoessefs army.
Originally the army numbered 50,
600, 900 have been killed; 5000
are wounded or sick, 5000 remained
in the forts, of whom however, 1000
were unable TO fight. 1t was ascertain
ed that when General StOessel wrote
to General Nogi regarding the sur
render of the fortress he said:
Il have 5000 men in the forts, and
5000 OF these are able TO hight, 1T
you do not accept my proposals these
men will die fighting, but it will cost
you three times their numbers No kill
them"
During the siege 265 per cent OF the
garrison were put out OF action. This
remarkable fact was due 10 the fact
that wounded men after leaving the
hospitals would retuN to duty. The
number Of off GERS killed was proper
tionately grcster than i'll any battle
known in history. This was due TO
the frequent l"thargic condition of the
men, who without food and without
sleep moved only when ordered by
their officers The Russians estimate
that the taking of the fortress has
cost Japan $100, 0,000,0 900

Srl.-o nj ssIAN CHRISTMAS
FALL OF PORT ARTHUR TAKES
ALL THE HEART OUT OF
FESTIVITIES.

st, Petersburg, Jan 5.-The fall OF
Port Arthur has taken all the heart
cut Of the approaching festivities OF
the Russian Christmas. II is even pro
posed to dispense with the illumina.
tions which are always features of the
holidays. The churches are filled with
mourning friends and relatives of the
fallen heroes of the fortress.
The zemstvos and town councils of
many cities, including st. Petersburg,
have adjourned as testimony of their
grief as a result of the public calam-
ity and subscriptions have already
been started to erect a monument to
General Kondratenko, who was killed
at Port Arthur Dec Is.
But the unmistakeable grief of the
people is also accompanied by unde-
niable mutterings against the gov
eminent. The papers are openly blan-
Ing the military censorship for keep
ing the public in the dark as to the
true situation of the fortress and al
lowing the surrender to come as a
surprise. They are using this as a
text TO show the necessity for taking
the people into the governments conf.
hence and are continuing their at
taclIs on the bureaucracy, whose
bloodless lips repeat the same old lie
whenever it is proposed that the SOW
ereign should hear the voice of the
people"
