Properly Equip the Fortress 10
Laid at His Door.

London, Jan. 1.-THE corresponds
ent Of the Express at Nagasaki has had
an interview with General stoessel In
the course Of which the general said: 4
"The capltulation occurring on New
Years day was merely a coincidence.
The loss Of 2os-Meter hill and the sub.
seauent capture Of the forts combined
with the deadly marksmanship with IL
inch shells. the depressing effect of the
death Of General Kondratenko. aiid tae
fearful increase OF scurvy really fixed
the time Of capitulation.
1T In quite untrue that / dissented
from the unanimous decision OF the
final council OF war. Our final urgent
requests for relief were never answer
ed.
AS regards parole. distinctly dis
couraged any concerted action. Every
ofiicer decided for himself. Generally
the commanding officers stuck with
their men and chose imprisonment.
Most Of the naval Officers also chose
captivity. many probably being in
fiuenced by fear OF an impending
court martial"
The correspondent adds that the con-
versation of other Russian officers re-
veals great bitterness. They denounce
Admiral AlexiefS for failure to prop
erly fortify Port Arthur and ''nis cow
ardly flight" by the last train from
the fortress,
The Junior officers denounce the in
and folly OF the government in
entering upon war. and declare that all
men who return to Russia from Port
Arthur are revolutionists In spirit.
These opinions were openly expressed
in the presence OF General stoessel,
who remarked:
let them talk; they have earned
the right to think as they please by
braving untold deaths for our country"
