''Iu the casemate OF the forts one
saw everywhere faces black with star
yation, exhaustion and nerve strain,
You spoke to them. but they did not
give answer, only staring dumbly.
''Tne lack OF ammunition alone
would have suggested the seeking
cf terms. Scant ammunition had long
been common in the fortress. and dur
ing the past month many of the forts
had nothing with which to return the
fire OF the enemy.
"The Russians sat in the casemates,
firing not more than once to the two
hundred shots sent by the japanese.
When the assault came they repulsed
the enemy with bayonets. But the
men themselves, having existed for
three months On reduced rations, were
so worn that it is marvellous they
stood the final strain so long.
yesterday General Stoessel would
still fight. His wound, which was re.
ceived early in the slege, had been
bothering him, but his determination
to fight while one man stood had not
been diminished.
But we cannot fight said his gen.
erals. Our men cannot move. They
sleep standing. They cannot see the
bayonets at their breasts. We can
order. but they cannot Obey

and many other, sometimes with

all dreaded SO long.
THE greatest loss suffered by Port
Arthni occurred fortnight ago, when
Major General Krondratenko was
k..led. Officers and men alike re-
ggrt:ed him as the brightest star in
i2ort Arthur;s armament When his
death became known, the fall in the.
spirits of the soldiers was plainly' Wis
iDle. General kondratenko was seated
in. the casemate Of certain fort dis.
cusing with seven other officers the
best way of countermining against
the Japanese. when an eleYen-inch
shell burst, killing everybody in the
casemete.
General Nogi has taken Port Arthur
with his artillery and his tunnels. His
rife bullets were seldom found to be
Of any use.
1--WE who came here Monday do not
know the terms of surrender suggest
ed by General Stocssel to General Nogi
rcr the answer, having left Port Ar.
thur even before the messenger had
been dispatched. The general impress
sion, however, is that Stoessel has
proposed that the army shall go free
and that he alone be made a prisoner.
1T is a simple story. Had the am.
munition held out the fortress would
have held out Indefinitely. For months
we held Pert Arthur by bayonets
alone, until flesh and blood could do
no more. When man fell there was
none other to replace him. Thus the
garrison was gradually worn down.

Port Arthur, whose hills have for
months run red with the blood Of the
bravest of the two war-like nations,
has at last succumhed to the fierce
tenacity OF the Japanese attack. Gen
eral Stoessel, most stubborn in carry
ing out the will of his sovereign, has
seen the advance of the.besieging army
gain in momentum and energy until to
hold out longer would have been
crime against humanity. The conditions
of the surrender are not yet known,
but in all quarters it is anticipated
that they are such as an honorable sol
dier may accept from brave and VIC
torious enemy.
At 9:45 o'clock Sunday night the
commissioners completed the singing Of
the capitulation agreement. Both
armies had suspended hostilities five
hours earlier. The city OF Port Ar
thur will be occupied by the Japanese.
The authorities at st. Petersburg, in
the absence OF direct official news
from General Stoessel that Port Ar
thur has surrendered, have not per-
mitted the news to become public. .Em-
peror Nicholas is in the south Of Rus
sia. and his Ministers are for the time
being in the dark as to what dis
patches have been sent to him from
the front.
Toxic was the scene of rejoicing,
people OF all ranks finding in the out
come compensation for all the sacri-
flee Of life and money that was en-
tailed in the ten months siege.
TO what extent the fall of Port Ar
thur will make for a restoration of
peace is an open question. There is an
encouraging note in the expression by
Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister at
London, OF the hope that "in some way
it will facilitate final peace" though
the pacific note is perhaps lost in the
later words of the minister, whicn call
attention to the fact that the besieging
army will now be free to go north,
where it will be an offset to the rein
forccments General Kuropatllin has
been receiving from Russia since the
battle of Shakhe. The spirit of the
Russians may be judged By the state
ment Of the secretary Of the embassay
at London that the campaign will be
renewed with fresh yigor in the spring,
and that the nation will not be content
to permit Port Arthur to remain in the
hands OF the Japaese.
Both in Paris and in London the
opinion is that the squadron under
Vice Admiral Rojestyensky, which
started from Libau for the far East
three months ago, will have to retrace
its way home, as adherence to the
original plans would invite disaster
without probability of effecting juno
tion with the warships at present in
the harbor Of V1adivCstock. That japan
may not be permitted to retain pos
session of Port Arthur without DISPUTE,
is shown in the fact that Iari; news
papers are already reviring the claim
made in 1901 that the holding Of that
position commanding the Eastern seas
by the Japanese would be a menace
to European powers.
