OVER FORTRESS
The Actual Transfer Of Port
Arthur Is Now Under
Way
RUSSIAN TROOPS MARCHING OUT

Headquarters Of the Japanese Third
Amy at Port Arthur, Jan. 4. via Che
foo, Jan. 5.-The flag of the rising sun
floats over the captured citadel of Port
Arthur.
When the news of the surrender of
the fortress reached the soldiers, leap
ing from mouth to mouth, the Japa-
nese drew close to their late enemies
and fraternized freely with them.
When nightfall came great bonfires,
rising In the Japanese camp like a
blazing halo, while great choruses of
"Banzai" echoed through the hills.
The entire garrison and all the non
combatants will march out of the city
January 8 Thursday to the village
Of Yahuthwei. near the shores of
Pigeon Bay. from which place the Rus
sian officers will be transported to
Dalny and thence to wherever they
may desire.
The prisoners of war will be de-
tanned in the village until they can be
transferred to Dalny and from there to
Japan.
The conference between the Russian
and Japanese commissioners at which
the terms of surrender were arranged
took place at the village Of Shuishi-
ying at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon
and lasted until s o'clock Tuesday
night.
Thus has Japan won the great Rus
sian stronghold in the Far East after
a five months siege, in which she lost
over 10000 soldiers, who were put out
Of action in the most sanguinary and
desperate fighting the world has ever
seen.
The formal entry of the japanese
into Port Arthur on January will be
an imposing spectacle. The Japanese
officers will be given a banquet in the
city on January 9. The reason for the
surrender Of the fortress is evident
from a visit to Wantai Hill. The en-
tire strength of the position lay in the
main line of outer defenses.
The possession of Wantai gave the
besiegers the key to the forts east of
the city. The hills in the rear were
not fortified and afforded a full cover
for the assaulting forces.

Transfer Of Property Reaun.

Toxic, Jan. General Nogi reports
70 the army department that on jan
uary the commissioners Of both the
Japanese and Russian armies ended
their conference. and that from the
morning of January 4 the actual trans
fer of war materials at Port Arthur as
property Of the Japanese government
commenced.
The requests of the Russians for
food, medicines and physicians for
their sick and wounded has been
granted.
The following report was received
from General Nogi:
"Order Is maintained at Port Arthur
by the officers. The people are quiet.
Our minute investigation was not fin
ished until Tuesday night.
1.-THE total number of inhabitants is
about $4,000, of whom $4,000 are SOL
diers or sailors. The total number Of
sick or wounded is 10000.
Common provisions and bread are
plentiful, but there is scarcity Of
meat and vegetables.
There are no medical supplies at
Port Arthur. The Japanese are strenu-
ously succoring the people.
"The capitulation committees are
pushing their respective works"
The weight of opinion in japanese
official circles seems TO be against a
belief in the early conclusion of peace,
and doubt is expressed that the fall
of Port Arthur will materially affect
the situation.
One of several officials who discussed
the question with the correspondent
OF the Associated Press voiced the SEN
timent Of the majority, when he said:
1--WE are confronting a situation that
continues to be purely military. The
present problem is created by General
Kuropatkin's army and by the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron. We are
devoting all attention to them. We an
ticipate that the Russians will renew
more determinedly than ever their f.
fort TO drive Field Marshal Oyama
back, and they will strive to gain SUI
premacy at sea. We are preparing to
defeat both these objects.
"The situation makes talk Of peace
futile"

Obliged to Surrender.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 5. - General
Stoessers last dispatch, dated January
Z, prior to the surrender of Port Ar
thur, details the Japanese attack OF
December 81 and concludes as follows;
I'VE shall be Obliged to capitulate.
but everything is in the hands of God.
We have suffered fearful losses.
Great sovereign pardon us. We
have done everything humanity posi-
BILE. Judge us. but be merciful. Nearly

have exhausted us. Only one-quarter
of the garrison is alive, and of this
number the majority are sick, and, be-
ing obliged to act on the defensive

pose. are worn to shadows"
It seems now to be definite that
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron
will not attempt at present to reach
Vladivostoh. The decision has been
reached that he will await the third
Pacific squadron, on which work is
proceeding night and day, and several
ships Of which are expected to be
ready for service by the end Of Jan,
uary. 1t is by no means certain that
Rojestvensky will return with his
ships to European waters; he may
await the third Pacific squadron OF
the coast Of Madagascar and seize and
make his base one Of the uninhabited
coral islands Of Polynesia.

BLIZZARD IN NEW YORK CITY
Caused Seven Deaths and Great Suf-
ferlnq Among The Poor.

fering Among The Poor.
New York, Jan. 5.-NOt in several
years has New York been visited by
u storm OF such proportions as that
Of yesterday Nine inches Of snow fell,
paralyzing traffic, and the marked
drop in the temperature brought TN
told suffering to the city's poor. The
blizzard caused seven deaths in New
York and vicinity, while many per-
sons, over come by the cold, dropped
to the street, some of them receiving
fractured bones
The storm began with an icy sleet,
which stuck to car rails and caused a
speedy abandonment of railroad and
trolley schedules. The sleet covered
the sidewalks and streets with ice
and rendered them almost impossible.
Scores of horses fell and many we're
so badly injured that they had 10 be
killed.
Owing to the inability of small
grocers and coal dealers to get sup
plies, they ran short and put their
wares up to famine prices. Great suf-
fering resulted in the poorer districts
from this action
Five of the seven men who met
death from the results of the storm
died from exposure, another slipped
on the icy platform of an elevated sta
ton, fell in front of an approaching
train and was ground to pieces. The
seventh, L. w. Eller, a conductor on
the Pennsylvania railroad blinded by
the driving snow. stepped in front Of
the Congressional Limited train at
South Amboy, N. J., and was instantly
killed.
