SAYS STOESSEL
WAS A COWARD
Russian General Said to Have
Showed the White
Feather. ~
RAN TO ESCAPE BULLETS
SUPPRESSED ORDER SUPPRESSED
ING HIM IN COMMAND.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 1S.-Lieutenant
General Stoessel was accused today Of
having shown the white feather under
fire on two different occasions. The ac-
cusation was made by Colonel Gurko,
who was on the stand as a witness be-
fore the court-martial which is trying
the general for his alleged failure in the
proper defense of Port Arthur At the
moment the court was investigating the
circumstances of General Kuropatkin's
order, dafed June IS, 1904, in which Gen
eral StoeSSel was told to turn over the
command of the fortress to General
Smyrnof and join the Manchurfan army.
General StoeSSel disregarded this order
and it was repeated three times. He sup
pressed the copy of the order addressed
to General Smyrnoff and finally was al
lowed to remain at Port Arthur.
General Kuropatkin testified that early
in May doubts had arisen as to the fit
ness of General Stoesssel to command the
fortress, owing to his nervousness. This
idea was strengthened by communica-
ton sent by General SmyrnOff to his aide
Colonel Gurko. that StOessel was a cow
ard and apt to lose his head during an
assault, and that it might be necessary
to place him under arrest to prevent the
fall of the fortress General KurOpatkin.
after obtaining confirmatory details of
the statement from Colonel Gurko, sent
the order superseding General Stoessel
Stoessel Shows Cowardice.
Answering General Stoessels query as
TO what grounds he had for making such
statement to General Kuropatkin.
Colonel Gurko related two instances in
which General Stoessel had ordered his
staff to scatter under fire, himself head
ing the dash for shelter.
Colonel Golovan, who was in charge of
the cOding of messages to Port Arthur,
established the receipt by General Stoes-
sci of General Kuropatkin's orders. He
said he gave the order for General
SmyrBoff to assume command of the
| fortress to General ReisS( who, after con-
I ferring 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 sur
! prising fact that General KUropatkin, be-
l fore the war. had recommended the
abandonment of Port Arthur and the res
toratfon of the Kwangtung peninsula TO
\ the Chinese, who were to pay S125.0o0O00
! for it. He considered that the opening
of Port Dalny destroyed the strategic inn
/ portance of Port Arthur. General Ku-
/ ropat kin said he had finally decided not
/ to interfere with General Stoessel on &C

SOME SCHOOL FIGURES.
Reports for l906-7 are About Com
pleted and Show Many Changes.

The annual report of the county school
board and its superintendent is about
completed and will be sent to State Su-
perintendent Stevens within a few days
for general publication.
In 1906, the teachers in the county
received $34, 843. 60 in salary; during the
school year just closed they were paid
$37, 060.96, making an increase of 50, =
2l7.36. The fuel bill for the two years
remained about the same. In 1906 it
was $l,52l. 90; in 1907 81, 533. CO. The
running expenses of the schools for
1906 were $50, 731. IA; in 1907, $63. 1O1. 27,
there being a difference there OF 50
370.l3. These figures showing increases
show how the school system of Garrett
county is gradually becoming more ex-
tensive and at the same time more
costly.
