Toxic. By Cable.-Great Nogi reports
that he has received letter from Gen
eral Stoessel relating to the surrender
of Port Arthur.
The news that the Russian forces at
Port Arthur have been reduced to such
mander has been forced to propose
surrender follows upon month OF re-
verses. The siege began almost with
the firing of the first gun in the war
now nearly II months ago, and when
perhaps the greatest stronghold in the
world was garrisoned by 40 900 Russian
soldiers. supported by a formidable
squadron of modern battleships, cruis-
ers and torpedo boats. These w.r-
ships have been destroyed or dispersed
until but few torpedo boats remain
in the harbor. The garrison at latest
accounts, had been reduced to about
Metre) Hill, was captured by the Jap
anese. On December 10, the East
keekwan fort was taken by them and
the Rihlung fort fell on December %.
From the hour Of the fall of East Keek-
wan events seem to be fastening to-
ward the elimination for on December
81, Sungshu Mountain fell into the
hands of the besiegers and only few
hours later the H fort. another
strong position was captured
The report that the non-combatants
OF Port Arthur had been accorded asy-
lum behind Lao Tie Mountain may
have been an indication that the Jap
anese commander foresaw that the sur
render of the Russians within n very
brief time was assured.

Assaults of the Japanese
GENERAL. KONDRACHKO is SLAIN
Relief is Confidently Expected by
March list and the Russian Troops
Are Determined to Resist as Lonq
as There is One Soldier Left.

vices from Port Arthur confirm the re-
port that General Kondrachko has
been killed, and that General Stoessel
has been injured by falling from his
horse. General Sminoff is also re-
ported wounded.
The adviCes say that the stern of
the battleship Sevastopol has sunk in
shallow water. Her bow is damaged
in two places and the steering room
gear is also damaged.
The garrison is reported to be con-
edent in the belief that relief will
arrive before March 1St. Despite its
heavy losses November % and sub
seueqntly. the garrison is said to be
cheerful and resolved TO continue the
struggle So long as a single soldier
remains. The army claims to have
sufficient provisions TO last until Feb
luary. The lazy possesses about one
months stores. The price of food in
the beleagured fortress is high. Beef
is rouble and one-half per pound
horse meat six copecs per pound; dog
turkeys $50 roubles apiece; eggs 100
roubles per hundred. But few junks
bearing supplies reached the garrison
the past month.

curtail the landing of supplies.
