DID ST0ESSEL SHOW
THE WHITE FEATHER?
So Charged In His Tria|---Remarkab|e
Statements Made Regarding De-
fence Of Port Arthur.

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 1S.--The trial Of
Lieut.. General Stoessel for the surren-
der of Port Arthur to the Japanese was
continued today and during the pro-
ceedingS Gen. Stoessel was accused OF
having shown the white feather under
fire on two occasions This accusation
was made by Col. Gurko, a witness.
The charge was made while the court
martial was investigating the circum-
stances of Gen. Kuropatkin's order dat
ed June IS, 1904, in which Gen. Stoessel
was told to turn over the command of
the fortress to Gen. Smirnoff and join
the Manchurian army. Gen. Stoessel
disregarded this order and it was re-
peated three times. He suppressed the
copy of the order addressed to Gen.
Smirnoff and finally was allowed to re-
main at Port Arthur
Gen. Kuropatkin testified that early
in May doubts had arisen as to the
fitness of Gen. Stoessel to command
the fortress owing to his nervousness.
The idea was strengthened by a COM
munication sent by Gen. Smirnoff to his
coward and apt TO lose his head during
an assault and that it might he neces :
sary to place him under arrest TO pre-
vent the fall of the fortress. Gen.
Kuropatkin, after obtaining confirma-
tory details of this statement from
Col. Gurko sent the order suporseding
Gen. Stcessel. Answering Gen. Stoes-
sells query as to what grounds he had
for making such a statement to Gen.
Kuropatkin. Col. Gurko related two in

dered his staff to scatter under fire,
himself heading the dash for shelter.
Col. Golovan, who was in charge of
the cooling of messages at Port Arthur,
established the receipt by Gen. Stoes-
sci of Gen. Kuropatkin's orders. He
said he gave the order for Gen. Smirnoff
to assume command of the fortress to
Gen. Reiss. who, after comforting with
Gen. Stcessel, 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 Gen. Kuropatkin,
before the war, had recommended the
abandonment of Port Arthur and the
restoration of the Kwang TUng penin-
sular to the Chinese. who were to pay
S125 900, 600 for it. He considered that
the opening of Port Dalny destroyed
the stragetic Importance OF Port Ar
thur. Gen. Kuropatkin said he had
fully decided not to interfere with Gen.
Stoessel on account of his unexpected
success in holding the fortress. which
theoretically required 1890 men to be
defended successfully.
