COWARDICE CHARGED
SERIOUS ACCUSATION AGAINST
 GENERAL sTOEsSEL.
Russfan Army officer Says His Superior Fled For Shelter Kuropitkin Tells of His
 Plans.

St. Petersburg, Dec, 1S--Lieutenant General Stoessel was accused today or having shown the white feather under fire on two different occasions.
 This accusation was made by Colonel Gurko. who was on the stand as witness before the court rnartial wnfcn is trying the General for hiA alleged failure in the proper defense Nof Port Arthur. At the moment, the court was Investigating the circumstances or General Kuropatkin's order dated June 1S. 1904, in which General Stoessel was told to turn over the command of the fortress to General Smynbroff and join the Manchurian forces.
 General StoesseI disregarded this order and it was repeated three times. He suppressed the copy of the order addressed to General Smyrnoff and was finally allowed to remain at Port Arthur.
 General Kuropatkin testified that early in May doubts had arisen as to the fitness of General Stoessel to com mand the fortress owing to his ner- vousness. This idea was strengthened by communication sent by General syrnoff to his aide. Colonel Gurko. that General Stoessel was a coward and apt to lose his head at the critical moment and that it might be best to place him under arrest to prevent the fall or tho fortress. General Kuropatkin after obtaining confirmatory details of this statement from Colonel Gurko sent the order superseding General Stoessel.
 Answering General Stoessel's query as to what grounds he had for making such a statement to General Kuropat- kin, Colonel Gurko related two in- stances in which General Stoessel had ordered his staff to scatter under fire, hmiself heading the dash for shelter.
 Colonel Golovan, who was In charge of the coding of messages to Port Arthur, established the receipt by General Stoessel of General Kuropat- kin's orders. He said he gave the order for General Smyrnoff to assume command of the fortress. who after comforting with General Stoessel directed him to remove the copy from the files and suppress the record thereof. Only five men in the fortress knew of this order /
 The testimony brought to light the surprising fact that General Kuropat- kin, before the war, had recommended the abandonment of Port Arthur and the restoration of KwangTung benin sula to the Chinese. who were to pay $125, ,000, 900 for it. He considered that the opening of Port Dalny destroyed the strategic importance of Port Arthur.
 General Kuropatkin said he had finally decided not to interfere with General Stoessel on account of his un- expected success In holding = the fortress, which theoretically required 129.000 men to be defended success fully.

CITES CORTELY0U
ON PETITION MADE BY GEORGE W.
 AUSTIN.
Must Show Justice Gould Why He Sh0ald Not Be Enjoined From Delivering Canal Bonds To
 Certafn Banks.

Washington, Dec 1S.--Justice Gould of the District Supreme Court today cited George B. Corteiyou, Secretary of the Treasury, to appear in court Friday, January 3, . 1908, to show cause why he should not be enjoined from turning over or delivering the balance of the 321.45o,000 of the Pan- anna Canal bonds to certain banks and persons to whom he has announced al- 1otments.
 The citation issued by Justice Gould is based on a petition filed by George w. Austin. of New York, who describes himself as g. tax payer and property owner in the United States. and who declares he made proposal to pur- chase bonds of the advertised issue of the face value of $3.00O,000. He says he had agreed to pay at the rate of 103.375 and accrued interest per one hundred dollars and on notice of the acceptance of his subscription stands ready to deposit the amount with the Assistant Treasurer at New York.
 MT. Austin informs the court that press that in direct violation of the statutes and in absolutely disergard of the Treasury Departments circular No. 68 of the $26,000,000 of the bonds al- loted, only $1.000,000 were allotted to natural persons who were individual bidders for the same and who, in ac. cordance with the statutes, were given an equal. opportunity to subscribe therefor, the rsfnaining $24.0o0.0oo were allotted to divers national banks throughout the United States, and only $3,550,0 of which were allotted to banks which had bid a higher price than that bid by him.
 When he learned that his bid had been ignored and no allotment made, to him he says he complained to the de- partment and the response convinces him of the Secretarys intention to dis regard the statutes and thereby com- init a malfea sance for which he says he advises and ayers MT. Cortelyou is not a man of sufficient means to answer to the citizens of the United States and him.
 In his petition Mir. Austin also refers to the bid on one George A. Roman. of New York City, who had complied with the terms of the Secretary's circular in every particular. but whose bid was ig- nored.
 It Is stated that MT. Roman offered bids for $I, ,000, ,000 at 103. .25; $1.e00,00 at 1o3. 50; q .000, 900 at 1o3.75 and $1,- 0O0, 900 at 104, and that a further bid for s4,oO0,000 was made by Mir. Roman at price of 103.625
 The petition concludes with the de- claration that by reason of the Secre- tary's having ignored these bids. the United States and the citizens thereof, irrespective of the rights of said bid der. had been deprived of and will De deprived and defrauded of several hum dreds of thousands of dollars.

MoxEY ON STAND.

Chicago. Dec. 1S.-National Bank Ex- amlner R. F. Moxey the most import ant witness for the Government was on inc witness stand during the Bank CT Walsh's trial today. Reading tho entries of bond sales from books of the Walsh railroad, and the three Walsh banks constituted the greater part of his testimony.
 Much of Mir. Moxeys evidence was corroborative of that previously of fered, and tended to show, according to the Assistant District Attorney. that whenever Walsh needed money for his personal enterprises. he issued bonds. bought them at his own price and sold them to the banks.
