RUSSIANS SPEAK HIGHLY
OF JAPANESE vICTORS
General Stoessel's Last Act Before
Leaving Was to Kiss the Ground
He Had Defended for
So Long.

Che Foo, January 23.-Thirteen junks
containing 500 men, women and children
after a passage of sixty hours from
Port Arthur, arrived here today. The
passegers were Immediately sent on board
the British steamer Muenchen, which has
been chartered by the Russian govern
ment to take them home.
Eleven other junks are expected. and
as a gale is now rising, anxiety for their
safety is being expressed. Steamers are
now securing the sea for them.
A distressing incident occurred while
one of the junks which arrived today
was about three miles off Che Foo. One
of the women became a mother and the
junk was picked up just in time to be
towed to this harDor where the woman s
life was saved.
Among the arrivals today was the Rus
sian civil administrator, NJ. Werschenine,
who was permitted by the Japanese to
leeave. SO that he might take charge of

Speak Highly of Japs.
All of the Russians speak highly of the
consideration shown by the Japanese af-
ter the fortress capitulated, and the ma
iority of them look upon their long wait
on the shores of Pigeon bay without
shelter, as being unavoidable. Steamers
from Port Dalny with Russian refugees
from Port Arthur arrived here at $3.50 to-
night but owing to the prevalence of
a high gale, the passengers could neither
be landed nor transferred
There are over 1900 Russian refugees
now here. Owing to the lack of houses
for their accommodation they will be
transferred directly to Russian transports
which are waiting to take them to other
ports.

dated January 7. In it the Russian COM

which he says nothing could resist. and
to the utter exhaustion of the resisting

that futher resistance would be merely

In concluding General Stoessel said that
the fortress had done its work. There
